[tor-relays] Heads up: anti-censorship tools now packaged on deb.torproject.org

Greetings,

We're currently preparing 4 new Debian packages to be included in the
Tor Project Debian repository hosted at "deb.torproject.org" in the
coming days:

    * lyrebird
    * webtunnel
    * snowflake-proxy
    * snowflake-client

If your system is configured with "deb.torproject.org" in your APT
sources and any of the above packages are installed from the regular
Debian archive, they will automatically upgrade the Tor
Project-published versions.

We're doing this to ensure that downstream users of these important
anti-censorship tools have an update channel that allows them to receive
timely upgrades automatically.

That being said, packages from both channels should remain compatible
and interchangeable. If you encounter any issues with them, please let
us know by creating an issue in
Work items · The Tor Project / Anti-censorship / Team · GitLab.

If you wish to add "deb.torproject.org" in your Debian system's APT
sources, please follow the instructions at:

···

Great update, Micah! Adding lyrebird, webtunnel, and the snowflake packages directly to deb.torproject.org is a huge win for ensuring downstream users receive timely security and feature upgrades automatically.

Having reliable, uninterrupted access to anti-censorship tools is essential—especially for students and researchers operating in restricted network environments who depend on consistent connectivity for everything from academic work to accessing daily productivity utilities like https://attendcalc.com

Appreciate the Tor Project team keeping these update channels proactive and seamlessly maintained!
