Re: filesharing with tor and offsystem online storage
This looks very cool. Can anybody with some experience go into how exactly this works? Based on the site, it doesn't look like running it over tor would add any extra security.

There don't appear to be any revision tags either. And there's no build documentation in plain sight. That is seriously shoddy for an open source project. I'm sure offsystem is almost all that it says it is but the lack of all of the above make it as near a black box as your average closed source application.

Yes, that's the cvs repository I was referring to above - there are no tags there and no source tarballs anywhere else. This means that there is no source distribution for any of their releases. That's annoying. I'm guessing that off_network is the main module there but why should I bother reverse-engineering their build process just to install a possibly broken cvs version? I want the latest release. It's their funeral at the end of the day but an open-source project that doesn't release source tarballs is just being silly. signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.
