--------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Volatile Update Announcement VUA 66-1 http://volatile.debian.org debian-volatile@lists.debian.org Peter Palfrader June 6th, 2010 --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : tor Version : 0.2.1.26-1~lennyvolatile1 (Lenny) Importance : medium The 0.2.0.x tree in Debian stable (lenny) is end-of-life'd by upstream. These versions still work for now as we have updated the list of authority keys that come with Tor to keep our packages functional. However, there are significant benefits to running a more current version which this volatile update delivers. If relays that currently run our 0.2.0.x package upgrade to a newer version the network as a whole should become faster. If clients upgrade they should pick smarter paths through the network. Access to hidden services might be completely broken or at least unreliable for old clients; updating to the 0.2.1.x tree restores that functionality. An upgrade to the volatile version is thus strongly recommended to all tor users on Debian stable (lenny). Upgrade Instructions -------------------- You can get the updated packages at http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile/pool/volatile/main/t/tor/ and install them with dpkg, or add the volatile archive for Lenny to your /etc/apt/sources.list: deb http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main deb-src http://volatile.debian.org/debian-volatile lenny/volatile main You can also use any of our mirrors. See http://www.debian.org/volatile/volatile-mirrors for the full list of mirrors. The archive signing keys were included in Debian Lenny.
