Ubuntu has this strange way of maintaining the packages in hardy and intrepid. It seems like you have to request a backport if you want a new version of package foo. You then have to build this package on the distro you wish to backport it to, test it and then include the results in the bug report. Loop this for every new release of package foo. No one had requested a backport to hardy and intrepid _with_ the documentation necessary. I know that it was pointed out that the tor project does have packages ready for both hardy and intrepid, but it seemed like the developers wanted someone to "officially" build, install and test the packages, as well as test for regressions etc. Also, Martin Pitt said that he would sponsor the packages for hardy and intrepid soon, and care about the rest. It seems like things are moving forward, slowly. Those interested can follow the bug report in Launchpad: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/tor/+bug/328442 - Runa
Google Summer of Code 2009
Hi everybody, I'm excited to be able to work for the Tor project in this year's Google Summer of Code! I would like to say thank you for giving me this opportunity and for helping me get more familiar with Tor, and a special thanks to Jacob Appelbaum for being my mentor. My name is Runa Sandvik and I am studying computer science at the Norwegian University of Science and Technology (NTNU). I am currently in my second year of a bachelor's degree. I plan to continue on to a master's programme, in either networking or information security once I have graduated next year. This summer I will be working on the translation wiki for the Tor website - making it possible to translate the website via Pootle. My application abstract can be found here: http://socghop.appspot.com/student_project/show/google/gsoc2009/eff/t124022248835 I will post some notes to this list about my progress during the summer, as well as blog about it on http://gsoc-tor.blogspot.com/ Feel free to find me in #tor on OFTC (or write an email) should you want to discuss this project or ask any questions :) -- Runa Sandvik

That being said, I'm very happy with the current situation (Tor > being removed from Ubuntu, while users can install packages from noreply > without any trouble to get the latest version of Tor). The packages were outdated simply because no one wanted to maintain the packages in ubuntu. You do not have to be an ubuntu developer to do this (you can have a developer sponsor the upload of your package), but you need to know how to package software for ubuntu. The problem seems to be that people are interested _now_. That isn't good enough if we tor in ubuntu to be maintained and well taken care of. If you start working on a project like this, you have to keep doing so. Or at least find someone else who can take over for you. I am going to look into the process of becoming an ubuntu developer (better than having all of my uploads sponsored) and then try to get tor back in ubuntu. When that time comes, I'll send an email to the list so that other people can help out too. -- Runa Sandvik
