This diff forwardports 856e436e20d511a4f0d618546da7921fa9f8c5f6 to the master branch Original commit message: - - - This pull request changes `mk` and github workflows to build and publish binaries on tag. We also update the documentation to explain this new branching model. Basically, we have release branches where we produce binary packages and we add extra code, on tag, to publish such packages inside a release. We discussed removing most secrets from builds in this repository and having a different tool/repository that takes in input also secrets for doing follow-up actions after publishing. As a consequence, this pull request also removes all pieces of code that require secrets. The next step is to reinstate this code in this new repository/tool. The existing code in `mk` also implemented caching. This feature was useful when doing local builds because it reduced the time required to obtain binary releases. With builds running as part of GitHub actions, we don't need caching because we spawn parallel machines to build binaries. Therefore, let us also remove caching, which makes the code simpler. (Caching in itself is hard and in https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1875 I noted that, for example, caching of the `ooni/go` repository was leading to some unwanted behaviour when changing the branch. Without caching, this behaviour is gone and we always generally use fresh information to produce builds.) Of course, this means that local builds are now slower, but I do not think this is a problem _because_ we want to use GitHub actions for building in the common case. Reference issues: https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1879 and https://github.com/ooni/probe/issues/1875. The final aspect to mention to conclude this description is an implementation one: ``` gh release create -p $tag --target $GITHUB_SHA || true ``` The code above uses `|| true` because there could already be a release. So, basically, it means that, if a release does not already exist, then we're going to create one. Otherwise, it does not matter because there's already a release. |

OONI Probe Client Library and CLI
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:
-
the CLI client (cmd/ooniprobe);
-
the test helper server (internal/cmd/oohelperd);
-
the mobile library (pkg/oonimkall);
-
and all the related support packages (inside internal).
Every top-level directory in this repository contains an explanatory README file.
User setup
Please, follow the instructions at ooni.org/install/cli
to install ooniprobe. If we do not support your use case, please let us know. Once
ooniprobe is installed, try ooniprobe help to get interactive help.
Reporting issues
Report issues at github.com/ooni/probe.
Please, make sure you add the ooni/probe-cli label.
Build instructions
ooniprobe
Be sure you have golang >= 1.17 and a C compiler (Mingw-w64 for Windows). You can build using:
go build -v ./cmd/ooniprobe
This will generate a binary called ooniprobe in the current directory.
Android bindings
Make sure you have GNU make installed, then run:
./mk android
to build bindings for Android. (Add OONI_PSIPHON_TAGS="" if you
cannot clone private repositories in the https://github.com/ooni namespace.)
The generated bindings are (manually) pushed to the Maven Central package repository. The instructions explaining how to integrate these bindings are published along with the release notes.
iOS bindings
Make sure you have GNU make installed, then run:
./mk ios
to build bindings for iOS. (Add OONI_PSIPHON_TAGS="" if you
cannot clone private repositories in the https://github.com/ooni namespace.)
The generated bindings are (manually) added to GitHub releases. The instructions explaining how to integrate these bindings are published along with the release notes.
miniooni
Miniooni is the experimental OONI client used for research. Compile using:
go build -v ./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 ./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 the ooni/spec repository.
Contributing
Please, see CONTRIBUTING.md.
Updating dependencies
go get -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 ./mk, which requires GNU make. Try
the ./mk help|less command for detailed usage.
