We have packages in available for Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora, CentOS, and BSD: - Debian: https://support.torproject.org/apt/tor-deb-repo/ - Ubuntu: https://support.torproject.org/relay-operators/operators-4/ - Fedora/CentOS: https://support.torproject.org/rpm/tor-rpm-install/ - BSD: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2022-May/020528.html
Anyone know when the EPEL TOR packages will updated? The EL 8 repos only offer 0.4.5.11. EL 9 is only a little newer with RPMs for TOR 0.4.6.8. Fedora 35 and 36 (with the latter launching today) have only been updated to 0.4.6.9. As of now, it appears that only Fedora 37 has been updated to 0.4.7.7.
Yes, I know, there is a 0.4.7.7 RPM for EL 8 inside the TOR repo, but I'm wondering if anyone knows when the Fedora/EPEL repos will be updated? Anu more importantly why they haven't been updated already? When I compared the packages from EPEL and TOR a couple of years ago (both offered the sane TOR release at that point) I discovered the TOR package was built differently - assuming thta is still the case, it means the RPMs aren't interchangeable for someone with a torrc file that has evolved beyond the default.
Fedora repo for the TOR package:
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/tor
Drect download Link for the TOR repo RPM in case anyone wants it:
https://rpm.torproject.org/centos/8/x86_64/tor-0.4.7.7-1.el8.x86_64.rpm
