Re: Shadowsocks client for Ubuntu Touch

 

Hi,

thanks for your submission to the OpenStore. I am reading through the
source code understand how the program works. There are two binaries in
the repository. Can you explain where they come from and how they are
built? For safety reasons I'd like to build things myself when
publishing unconfined applications.

Thanks,
Michael
