Hi Roger,

Greetings Martin!

thanks for alerting me.

I did all what is described to update tor.

However, it still shows in the onion link Tor 0.3.3.9, although the running tor binary /usr/bin/tor now changed the modification time from April 2018 to 21st Aug 2019.

Please advise. How can I check locally at my server what version of tor I am running?

It looks good!

See: https://metrics.torproject.org/rs.html#details/C414F28FD2BEC1553024299B31D4E...

Also, a good way to verify the version is to run tor with the --version switch:

/usr/bin/tor --version

Please keep in mind that the standard Ubuntu tor user is "debian-tor", not just "tor" - I hope this does not break the updates?

Yes, it should be fine. Ubuntu uses the Debian package.

Big thanks for running a relay! David

Regards,

Martin

Hi,

You are running a fast Tor relay, which is great: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#details/C414F28FD2BEC1553024299B31D4E7...

But that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will soon cut relays running those versions out of the network. Please consider upgrading!

The Tor 0.3.5 long-term-stable branch will be maintained until Feb 2022: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTorR... and you can see the lifetimes of other Tor versions on that table too.

You can find Tor packages for your distro / OS here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#Platformspecific...

Let us know if we can do anything to make the process easier.

And lastly, I am cc'ing the new network health mailing list (which has public archives), to help us stay synced: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkHealthTeam

Thanks! --Roger
