2007-10-05 Thread Martin Pitt
Aron Sisak kindly volunteered to look after tor in gutsy and hardy, so
we should not remove it any more.

As a Tor user - if it gets removed from the Ubuntu repo, I'm no longer
going to use it. I'm not going to add an external repo, and I will shut
down my tor exit nodes. It is a shame upstream wants it removed.

Unless someone steps up soon to become the Ubuntu maintainer of Tor, I
will remove the package by the release candidate.

2007-10-02 Thread Ahmed El-Mahmoudy
Well, I don't understand the problem. I have been following the thread for the 
past few days.
I notice that the Tor package on Debian is up to date. Is there much difference 
between the package of Debian  Ubuntu ?
Anyways, I have done some packages before. So I don't think it will be a 
problem that I would sync. with Debian every while

Btw, I notice that the upstream himself maintains a repository that
holds Ubuntu package for the latest version of Tor. That's why I don't
understand what's the problem. Isn't it just going to be syncing with
his repository ? And probably do some changes if needed ?

In the thread it says: We just cannot put new versions into stable releases 
without testing them at all.
Please define testing.
Also, there was the other option of going into backports, what's the problem of 
that option ?

Hi,

Ahmed El-Mahmoudy [2007-10-02  8:30 -]:
 In the thread it says: We just cannot put new versions into stable
 releases without testing them at all. Please define testing.

Review the new versions for new features or behavioural changes, check
that package upgrades work and do not break existing configurations,
test that the package still functions properly, etc.

The development release does not have any problem, like you say, we
can just sync from Debian. But that's not what people are use, they
want a stable version of Ubuntu. If nobody in Ubuntu looks after this
package and keeps it up to date, then we should better remove it for
the reasons stated on the ML.

 Also, there was the other option of going into backports, what's the
 problem of that option ?

They are not enabled by default, thus most users of Tor would not get
them. The updates need to undergo the proper SRU [1] procedure.

Well, if no one steps in. I can give it a try. I've been using Tor for a 
while (currently I am using the 0.2 branch). But I don't know about all 
its features, hence I do not know if I qualify for the task or not.
