Yes, and I followed all vidalia package's instructions in README.Debian. > And, you want Vidalia to carry a section in the > documentation to warn users about it? Even though vidalia package does not explicitly suggests polipo|privoxy, it does suggest torbutton, which recomends one of them. Whichever package should describe http-proxy configuration, is a matter of packaging policy/decision, but what I feel is that the goal is user privacy, and all pieces involved should be aware of it and let the user aware of other components involved, referring to the other package's documentation whenever necessary. But in my opinion, vidalia is a package that has a more comprehensive role of them all, and it would be more straight forward to have instructions with that aspect in mind. > > Is my understanding correct? > > > > > > Cheers, > > Dererk > > ps: I'm coping the torbutton maintainer since he might have a more clear > idea where about this issue could reside on. > Bye!
