doc/index.html: update/fix Tails instructions#169
Conversation
I just tested on Tails 1.3 and found that while the instructions result in a
working Pond (with GUI) they also result in a .bashrc that prints these two
errors in every new shell:
unexpected EOF while looking for matching `''
syntax error: unexpected end of file
One of the aliases (pond) was still set, but the others (pond-build, pond-cli,
pond-install-deps) are not set. I'm not sure how this could've happened as I do
remember testing the .bashrc before. Anyway, this commit fixes the instructions
so that the aliases get saved properly.

Yeah that looks like a good idea. I haven't tried the Additional Software feature yet.
Good point.
They've completely removed polipo, the HTTP proxy which previously made lots of things work including Anyway, as I just wrote on the xmpp-client ticket, while investigating this I noticed that go get actually falls back to HTTP when HTTPS connections fail (!!!) so it appears that go get isn't actually a safe command to run over tor (or any untrusted network). I'm very disappointed in go right now :( |
