Move build dependencies from people.tpo

Currently we are hosting some of the dependencies we use for building Tor Browser on people.torproject.org. However people.torproject.org is just one host, and it is sometimes down.

I think we could maybe move those files to extra.torproject.org, dist.torproject.org, or ask tpa to create a new hostname for those files.

@boklm @anarcat do any of you worked on this? I kind of remember you going through the services and maybe changing this.

i have no recollection of working on this, but i see a lot of tickets in a day, so i might have forgotten. typically, what i know is in the wiki though, so it would be in the service list, presumably

https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/tpa/team/-/wikis/service/

sorry i can't help any further...

I don't remember working on this (yet) after opening the ticket.

Hello!

We would like to start hosting the already-built offline manual for #34451 (closed) in the same way we do for some build dependencies.

However, I'd prefer not using people.tpo for the above reason and also because I do not like having "personal" URLs for this.

Has something changed in the last months regarding having a service for this?

We also have the .tbb.torproject.org, we could also create a new subdomain, like we have for the test-data (something like build-data.tbb.torproject.org?).

i'm not sure i understand the question here, nor if it's aimed at TPA, but feel free to open an issue on our side if you need anything. :)

Okay, thank you!

I've opened tpo/tpa/team#40757 (closed).

There is a build break triggered by this issue: #40789 (closed)

I suggest that we create a "get file by hash" service and share it among all teams. A download link would look like "https://getfilebyhash.torproject.net/sha256/XXXXXXXX/123.tar.gz". It would be possible to use CDN to cache the content and avoid most of the synchronization issue.

I think a simple solution to avoid issues like #40789 (closed) is to use some shared account (instead of personal accounts) to host the files on people.tpo.
