Dear Roger,
You've avoided that for both binaries and sources? That's interesting. I guess it makes sense, if it's been a problem before.
I mostly would like to be able to wget the the sources and build them automatically, without having to specify a version number. Whenever I setup a new machine, I like to make it a tor relay; I don't particularly care about versions, just as long as it's new enough to not have any old vulnerabilities.
Best,
Peter
