Hi, So, tor (0.4.7.x) in stable is EOL upstream, and the set of directory authorities[dirauth] has changed somewhat since the Tor in stable has been last updated. As such, I would like to either update or remove tor in stable. I see the following options: (1) Update Tor in stable to the currently released Tor stable version, 0.4.8.12. I have been building backports for current Tor releases for a long time and generally Tor behaves well on stable. (2) Keep the current Tor version (0.4.7.16-1) in stable, but update the list of directory authorities in a 0.4.7.16-2 upload. This involves changing a few lines in the default config [dirauths-update]. (3) Remove Tor from stable as the version is EOL. My preference is for (1). What say you? Cheers, weasel dirauth: The tor directory authorities are a set of 7-9 servers whose keys the list of all the tor relays, the "consensus". Tor clients need a consensus signed by a majority of dirauths they know about to work. dirauths-update: Basically replace https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/blob/tor-0.4.7.16/src/app/config/auth_dirs.inc?ref_type=tags with https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/blob/tor-0.4.8.12/src/app/config/auth_dirs.inc?ref_type=tags -- | .''`. ** Debian ** Peter Palfrader | : :' : The universal https://www.palfrader.org/ | `. `' Operating System | `- https://www.debian.org/
