Tor Browser for Fedora updated to Firefox 17
Hello list, The Tor Browser repository for Fedora (found here: https://jamielinux.com/articles/2013/01/tor-and-tor-browser-repository-on-fedora/ ) has been updated to Firefox 17 and there are a few things to be aware about: 1) The Tor Browser for Fedora depends on the system Tor to be running, and since the default port for the Tor Browser has changed to 9150, the system Tor configuration also needs to be changed. If you have never edited /etc/tor/torrc then you won't need to do anything (as the next update of the tor package will default to running two SOCKS ports, 9050 and 9150). If after the update you see a /etc/tor/torrc.rpmnew file, then please insert any new directives into /etc/tor/torrc. 2) The profile directory has changed from ~/.mozilla/torbrowser to ~/.mozilla/torbrowser17 although you can restore your bookmarks from ~/.mozilla/torbrowser/bookmarkbackups : Bookmarks -- Show all bookmarks -- Import and Backup -- Restore Alternatively, you can move the old directory to where the new directory is, though using the old profile is not recommended. 3) The repository contains a slightly modified selinux-policy package which is a temporary solution until this bug is resolved (which is caused by Tor trying to bind to port 9150): https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=914853 Please do let me know if there are any problems.

Tor and Tor Browser repository for Fedora 17 and 18
Hi, I'm the maintainer for Tor package on Fedora EPEL. I've set-up a (GPG signed) repository for Fedora 17 and 18 with Tor Browser RPM packages. It optionally includes SELinux protection for the Tor Browser. (Tor client/server already has SELinux protection on Fedora.) wget https://jamielinux.com/pub/jamielinux-tor-release.noarch.rpm yum install ./jamielinux-tor-release.noarch.rpm yum install tor tor-browser tor-browser-selinux More info here: https://jamielinux.com/articles/2013/01/tor-and-tor-browser-repository-on-fedora/ -- Jamie Nguyen -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Gene Czarcinski: Your packages need more work (at least on F18). Those to.service files you stuck under /usr/lib/systemd/system/ are old init.d scripts and not systemd. They do not work. That also says that not much testing was done. Oops! That was unfortunate. Not actually sure how that happened as I've been using these packages for months. Anyway, fixed and thanks very much for reporting. -- Jamie Nguyen -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?

Re: Tor and Tor Browser repository for Fedora 17 and 18
Anton Stiles: thanks for these packages. how about update to most recent firefox? Tor Browser is based on Firefox 10 ESR. It's likely that the Tor Project will update Tor Browser to Firefox 17 ESR some time in the near future. When that happens then I'll update the RPM packages. -- Jamie Nguyen -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
