*Yesterday:
- Created a placeholder securedrop-workstation-config metapackage, updated the securedrop-template builder to pull in this dependency. We can now use the package/build logic in https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop-debian-packaging/tree/securedrop-workstation-config-metapackage to push changes to the templates (either at build time or via apt updates) (PR open at https://github.com/freedomofpress/qubes-template-securedrop-workstation/pull/5/files)
- Updated qubes-workstation kernel to 4.14.74, tested said kernel and it seems to work. It's now live on apt-test-qubes
- Tested tor 3.4.4.8, it works, need to upload it to apt-test (I might be blocked due to git-lfs issues with existing packages, will ping mike).
*Today: Upload tor 3.4.4.8 to apt-test, review https://github.com/freedomofpress/securedrop/pull/3848
