Upgrade your 'tarragon' Tor relay?

Hi William, You are running a Tor relay, which is great: http://rougmnvswfsmd4dq.onion/rs.html#details/1D4AB6248E3D7DF9C4FBE40DCFAA3… First: that Tor version is obsolete, and because of old bugs, we will soon cut relays running those versions out of the network. Please consider upgrading! Second: let us know if there is any way to help you bump up the bandwidth that you are allocating to the Tor relay. :) You can find Tor packages for your distro / OS here: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/TorRelayGuide#Platformspecifi… Ideally you will switch to keeping up with our stable releases, but if you need a stable that is especially stable, the Tor 0.3.5 branch will be maintained until Feb 2022: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTor… and you can see the lifetimes of other Tor versions on that table too. Let us know if we can do anything to make the process easier. And lastly, I am cc'ing the new network health mailing list (which has public archives), to help us stay synced: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkHealthTeam Thanks! --Roger

> Hi, > Is still the latest version in Debian https://packages.debian.org/stretch/tor what should we do to update it? Current Debian stable (10, Buster) ships tor version 0.3.5.8 (supported until Feb 1, 2022) if you are on 0.2.9.x you run Debian oldstable. So one option would be to upgrade to Debian stable (Buster) if there are no specific reasons to stay on Debian oldstable. You can also use the Tor Project's debian repositories if you want to run the latest stable release 0.4.2.5 https://2019.www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en -- https://twitter.com/nusenu https://mastodon.social/@nusenu
