Drop time synchronization hacks that tor 0.3.5 and 0.4.x made obsolete
_Originally created by @hefee on [#16471 (Redmine)](https://public-redmine-archive.tails.boum.org/code/issues/16471)_ And here’s a list of little-t-tor changes that might be relevant, e.g. they may break or time sync hacks or instead make some of them obsolete: - <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/28591> - <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24661> - <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/23605> - <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/27691> Some of them were fixed in 0.3.5, some will be in 0.4.x but might be backported to 0.3.5 when we come back to this ticket. As part of this ticket, I expect we will: - look for breakage and fix it (subtasks of this ticket + report to Tor Network Team if the problem is on their side) - look for changes that make our code useless but not harmful and file new FT tickets for that (not blockers to close this ticket) - if it looks like 0.4.x will make a bigger difference, file a ticket about upgrading to 0.4.x and explain your findings there, so we don’t do all the exact same work again once we’re there Feature Branch: bugfix/16471-drop-time-synchronization-hacks+force-all-tests, https://salsa.debian.org/tails-team/tails/merge_requests/21 ### Attachments * [Screenshot_20190516_202417.png](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/attachments/download/2347/Screenshot_20190516_202417.png) * [tor-launcher-clock_skew.png](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/attachments/download/2460/tor-launcher-clock_skew.png) * [tor-launcher-clock_skew.log](https://redmine.tails.boum.org/code/attachments/download/2461/tor-launcher-clock_skew.log) ### Related issues - **Related to** tails/tails#16348 - [x] **Blocked by** tails/tails#16687 - **Blocks** tails/tails#9256 - [x] **Blocked by** tails/tails#16792
