General Discussion

Hello,

I am running a tor server on Linux. I use https://rpm.torproject.org to update trough dnf/yum package manager. Strangely I cant find latest 0.4.8.7 (or .6) release? Stable release 0.4.8.7

Can anybody explain why?

Thanks

Hi,

What Linux distro do you use for your relay?

I am using RHEL 8.

Okey, there is another post who are talking about it for CentOS/REHL, like this: Stuck on Tor 0.4.7.13? - #16 by FranklyFlawless (mentionned Debian but another member talked about REHL).

No more update since, and as we can see here Index of /centos/8/x86_64 there is no package newer than 4.8.5, maybe it will come later…? I personnaly don’t have the answer :frowning:

Each distribution has a different maintainer, so they will provide Tor updates according to their schedule’s availability. Currently the Tor version on Debian is 0.4.8.6.

Thanks for explaining. Concerns me a bit tho. Security wise this is not good for relay operators as it exposes you longer to vulnerabilities in older versions.

The new packages were added on September 30. The rpm repository is managed by our volunteers, so there might occasionally be some delays.
