Aron Xu [2009-08-24 13:28 -0000]: > I can maintain it for current stable release
That's the problem -- we need to maintain it in *all* stable releases. E. g. right now we'd need to keep it up to date in dapper, hardy, intrepid, and jaunty. Otherwise the users of those releases would again use the old insecure versions, and we're back to square one. > I am using tor and many people around me need it more or less, many > of them just wish it apt-getable directly rather than installing > another third-party source by hand. While that's true, and the point of a distribution, it becomes a weak point if those old releases stay around forever. If upstream does a much better job of providing packages for stable releases, it might be better to refer people there. I'd like to get the opinion of other MOTUs, too. -- [needs-packaging] Please sync tor 0.2.1.19-1 (universe) from Debian unstable (main) https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/413657 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
