* poc: mobile api for running WebConnectivity
Yesterday we had a team meeting where we discussed the importance
of stopping using MK wrappers for running experiments.
Here's a PoC showing how we can do that for WebConnectivity. It
seems to me we probably want to add more tests and merge this code
such that we can experiment with it quite soon.
There seems to be opportunities for auto-generating code, BTW.
While working on this PoC, I've also took a chance to revamp the
external documentation of pkg/oonimkall.
* feat: start making the code more abstract
* chore: write unit tests for new code
* fix(oonimkall): improve naming
* refactor: cosmetic changes
* fix: explain
* chore: update dependencies
* chore: update user agent for measurements
* chore: we're now at v3.6.0
* chore: update assets
* chore: update bundled CA
* fix: address some goreportcard.com warnings
* fix(debian/changelog): zap release that breaks out build scripts
We're forcing the content of changelog with `dch`, so it's fine to
not have any specific new release in there.
* fix: make sure tests are passing locally
Notably, I removed a chunk of code where we were checking for network
activity. Now we don't fetch the databases and it's not important. Before,
it was important because the databases are ~large.
* fix: temporarily comment out riseupvn integration tests
See https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1354 for work aimed at
reducing the rate of false positives (thanks @cyBerta!)
* refactor: start building an Android package
Part of https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1335.
This seems also a good moment to move some packages out of the
engine, e.g., oonimkall. This package, for example, is a consumer
of the engine, so it makes sense it's not _inside_ it.
* fix: committed some stuff I didn't need to commit
* fix: oonimkall needs to be public to build
The side effect is that we will probably need to bump the major
version number every time we change one of these APIs.
(We can also of course choose to violate the basic guidelines of Go
software, but I believe this is bad form.)
I have no problem in bumping the major quite frequently and in
any case this monorepo solution is convinving me more than continuing
to keep a split between engine and cli. The need to embed assets to
make the probe more reliable trumps the negative effects of having to
~frequently bump major because we expose a public API.
* fix: let's not forget about libooniffi
Honestly, I don't know what to do with this library. I added it
to provide a drop in replacement for MK but I have no idea whether
it's used and useful. I would not feel comfortable exposing it,
unlike oonimkall, since we're not using it.
It may be that the right thing to do here is just to delete the
package and reduce the amount of code we're maintaining?
* woops, we're still missing the publish android script
* fix(publish-android.bash): add proper API key
* ouch fix another place where the name changed
