chore: upgrade deps and attempt to enable using go1.19 (#869)
* upgrade to our go.mod enabled of psiphon-tunnel-core such that
we're now using v2.0.24 of the tunnel-core;

* upgrade to the latest lucas-clemente/quic-go release;

* upgrade to the latest ooni/oohttp release (which is based on go1.19
but the diff seems good enough to continue using go1.18.x as well);

* upgrade to the latest ooni/oocrypto release (for which we can make the
same remarks regarding using go1.18.x);

* deal with changes in lucas-clemente/quic-go API as well as changes
in what a go1.19 *tls.Conn compatible type should look like.

Unfortunately, we cannot switch to go1.19 because psiphon forks quic-go
and their fork's still not building using such a version of go.

OONI Probe Client Library and CLI

GoDoc Coverage Status Go Report Card

The Open Observatory of Network Interference (OONI) is a non-profit free software project that aims to empower decentralized efforts in documenting Internet censorship around the world.

This repository contains core OONI tools written in Go:

Every top-level directory in this repository contains an explanatory README file. You may also notice that some internal packages live under internal/engine while most others are top-level. This is part of a long-standing refactoring started when we merged https://github.com/ooni/probe-engine into this repository. We'll slowly ensure that all packages inside engine are moved out of it and inside internal.

Semantic versioning policy

The mobile library is a public package for technical reasons. Go mobile tools require a public package to build from. Yet, we don't consider API breakages happening in such a package to be sufficient to bump our major version number. For us, the mobile library is just a mean to implement OONI Probe Android and OONI Probe iOS. We'll only bump the major version number if we change ./cmd/ooniprobe's CLI.

Build instructions

Be sure you have:

  1. the golang version mentioned inside the GOVERSION file;

  2. a C compiler (Mingw-w64 for Windows).

ooniprobe

Ooniprobe is the official CLI client. Compile using:

go build -v -ldflags "-s -w" ./cmd/ooniprobe

This will generate a binary called ooniprobe in the current directory.

miniooni

Miniooni is the experimental OONI client used for research. Compile using:

go build -v -ldflags "-s -w" ./internal/cmd/miniooni

This will generate a binary called miniooni in the current directory.

oohelperd

Oohelperd is the test helper server. Compile using:

go build -v -ldflags "-s -w" ./internal/cmd/oohelperd

This will generate a binary called oohelperd in the current directory.

Specifications

Every nettest (aka experiment) implemented in this repository has a companion spec in ooni/spec.

Updating dependencies

go get -t -u -v ./... && go mod tidy

Releasing

Create an issue according to the routine release template and perform any item inside the check-list.

We build releases using Makefile, which requires GNU make. The make help|less provides detailed usage.
