Request: Please backport "tor" 0.2.xx to Hardy

[Sandeep]

Please backport a 0.2.xx release of "tor" to Hardy. The latest version in the Hardy repositories is 0.1.2.19-2, whereas the latest stable release of tor is 0.2.0.31. Stable 0.2.xx releases have been out for sometime now.
     As tor is in its infancy and is actively under development, a 0.2.xx release should be significantly improved compared to a 0.1.xx one.

Thanks,
 Sandeep.

You have to wait until it's in intrepid, only packages in Intrepid can be backported

[Michael Casadevall (mcasadevall)]

Marked invalid since there is no intrepid version. Please feel free to reopen once a newer package is available in intrepid or jaunty.

[Sandeep (sandeepce)]

Okay, I understand. Thanks, Sandeep.

tor is availble from Intrepid. It builds fine using prevu but it's not installable because it seems to want to have libssl0.9.8 uninstalled :

This is what I get when trying to install tor (build using prevu) using apt-get :

$ sudo apt-get install tor
[sudo] password for roald:

Some packages could not be installed. This may mean that you have
requested an impossible situation or if you are using the unstable
distribution that some required packages have not yet been created
or been moved out of Incoming.

Since you only requested a single operation it is extremely likely that
the package is simply not installable and a bug report against
that package should be filed.
The following information may help to resolve the situation:

The following packages have unmet dependencies:
  tor: Depends: libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8f-1) but it is not going to be installed
E: Broken packages

[ubuntu_demon (ubuntu-demon)]

~$ dpkg -l | grep libssl
ii libssl0.9.8 0.9.8g-4ubuntu3.3 SSL shared libraries

[ubuntu_demon (ubuntu-demon)]

The strange thing is that both tor 0.1.2.19-2 and tor 0.2.0.31-1~8.04prevu1 depend on the same libssl0.9.8 (>= 0.9.8f-1)

After removing tor from /var/cache/prevu/hardy-debs/Packages installing tor 0.1.2.19-2 is no problem :

$ sudo aptitude install tor

Do you want to continue? [Y/n/?]

In no way do I want to discourage a backporting effort but I did want to note that people might want to consider using the tor repository:

To get version 0.2.0.34 add these lines to your sources:

deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor hardy main
deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor hardy main

To get version 0.2.1.14 add these lines to your sources:

deb http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor experimental-0.2.1.x-hardy main
deb-src http://mirror.noreply.org/pub/tor experimental-0.2.1.x-hardy main

This works for all Ubuntu versions from dapper to jaunty.
