8
(
Jessie
).

to
GNOME
Shell
in
Classic
mode
.

as
PID
1
,
and
convert
all
custom
initscripts

units

-
Remove
the

feature
:
our

).

Upgrade
Tor
Browser
to
5.5
a6

:

10858
).
Note
:

and
temporarily
,
disabled
the
Tor
Browser
window
resizing
feature
;
it
interferes
with
the
automated
test
suite
by
causing
misclicks
,
and
will
supposedly
appear
in
a
different
form
in
the
final
Tor
Browser
5.5
release
anyway
.

- Improve a little bit post-Greeter network unblocking:
· Sleep a bit longer between deleting the blacklist, and triggering udev;
this might help cure #9012.
· Increase logging, so that we get more information next time someone
sees #9012.
· Touch /etc/modprobe.d/ after deleting the blacklist; this might help,
in case all this is caused by some aufs bug.
- Enable and use the Debian jessie-proposed-updates APT repository,
anticipating on the Jessie 8.3 point-release (Closes: #10897).
- Upgrade most firmware packages to 20160110-1.
