tor into volatile?



Hi,

the Tor project is trying to deprecate Tor versions from the 0.2.0.x
tree[1], and we currently ship 0.2.0.35 in lenny[2].

Some of the issues in the upstream 0.2.0.35 are dealt with in our
package (e.g. we ship an updated list of authority keys[3]).

However, newer versions have significant performance benefits.  For
users it means if they get a newer version their Tor will be faster, but
more importantly it means that if all the Tor relays that are currently
running Debian lenny upgrade their Tor the network should become better
for everyone using it.

So, should and may I upload a newer Tor version to volatile?

Cheers,
weasel
