Hello all, I have noticed that the distribution directory: https://www.torproject.org/dist/ only contains source code for the latest stable and unstable version. This somehow breaks package distribution mechanism like SlackBuilds.org which do not host source code by themselves. I have already submitted an up to date SlackBuild: as soon it will be accepted, new Slackware users will be able again to build Tor again so it's not a ground breaking issue but nevertheless a bit annoying. So, is there a directory which hosts older but still accepted as valid version of Tor which I did not see or is a torproject.org policy to just keep latest versions online? Again, not a very important issue but it will make package maintenance easier if I could link to a source package which will not be removed when still valid.

Non-current Tor packages are somewhere on https://archive.torproject.org/ . Current Tor packages may also be there. Robert Ransom
Thanks! Looks like current version is up there too. -- Marco Bonetti Tor research and other stuff: http://sid77.slackware.it/ Slackintosh Linux Project Developer: http://workaround.ch/ Linux-live for powerpc: http://workaround.ch/pub/rsync/mb/linux-live/ My GnuPG key id: 0x0B60BC5F

/dist is for the current release only. Thanks again for clarifying this.
Changes made on my github repo, I will submit them with the next version upgrade. -- Marco Bonetti Tor research and other stuff: http://sid77.slackware.it/ Slackintosh Linux Project Developer: http://workaround.ch/ Linux-live for powerpc: http://workaround.ch/pub/rsync/mb/linux-live/ My GnuPG key id: 0x0B60BC5F
