Any news on getting all of Arms functions to work under FreeBSD ?

Thanks.

Arm Release 1.4.0

2010-11-30 Thread Damian Johnson
Hi. After over a year it's about time that I announced an arm release
so here it is! What's new since August of 2009 [1], you ask? Lots. The

For those unfamiliar, arm is a terminal monitor for Tor relays and, to
a growing extent, end users. It provides:
 * resource usage (bandwidth, cpu, and memory usage)
 * general relaying information (nickname, fingerprint, flags,
or/dir/controlports)
 * event log with optional regex filtering and deduplication
 * connections correlated against tor's consensus data (ip, connection
types, relay details, etc)
 * an editor to quickly alter Tor's configuration
 * torrc configuration file with syntax highlighting and validation

and quite a bit more via a curses interface. For screenshots and
downloads visit:
http://www.atagar.com/arm/

Peter and I are currently working on getting its debs in shape so
hopefully this'll soon be available via repositories for Debian and
Ubuntu too. RPM builds are available, though I don't have a test
system so beware: there be dragons (possibly).

If there's any python hackers out there interested in dabbling in a
bit of Tor UI development, then I'd love to have some company.
Suggestions, bug reports and feedback are also be very welcome.
Cheers! -Damian

Re: Tor 0.2.2.19-alpha is out

2010-11-30 Thread Matthew
 I notice that 0.2.1.27 was downloaded today by the Synaptic Update 
Manager.  Thanks for creating it.


I have a question about the procedure for verifying signatures.

My sources.list file contains: deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org 
lucid main


System / Administration / Software Sources / Other Software also lists 
http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org lucid main


In System / Administration / Software Sources / Authentication there is an 
deb.torproject.org archive signing key dated 2009-09-04 with the value 
886DDD89.


Am I correct to think that this key sufficient to verify updates when using 
sources.list.  My impression is that the page 
https://www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html.en refers to 
verifying files that have been manually downloaded (rather than through 
Update Manager).


Also, who exactly owns 886DDD89?  Is it a specific person or for 
torproject.org as a whole?


Thanks.

You are doing it correctly.  Packages for ubuntu/debian for 0.2.1.27
aren't created yet.  We announce the source release before the binary
packages we create are available.  It's generally a few days from source
release to binary package availability.  The exception here is OS X PPC,
which lacks a build machine right now.
