Hi! thanks for pointing this out. Indeed, these (old) patches are actually not even needed. I've decided to delete them from the packaging. This will result in * new users will use the default TorBirdy configuration, which uses port 9150, or TorBrowser's tor. * every user is able to modify TorBirdy's preferences to use system tor's port, 9050 * users who have already modified these preferences in the past are not affected by this change, as settings persist, even after an upgrade from 0.2.1 to 0.2.2. I've tested this on my own, Jessie system.
This should in no way interfere with the way Tails handles this. What do you think? Cheers! u.
