Could you blog it please?
I'd like to see more discussion from more people here first, and see whether somebody steps up to say, "Yeah, I can maintain that" here, or whether somebody else who knows more than me about the issues has something to say. Otherwise I don't know whether to write a "looking for maintainer" post, a "who wants to fork" post, a "don't use Torsocks, use XYZZY" post, or what.
If Robert wants someone to maintain it, I'd be happy to do so. I had wanted to extend it to do some various things anyway. I think it would be a suitable base for a bunch of things I'd like to do in the next year.
All the best, Jake
I saw this thread earlier but didn't have a chance to reply. I was thinking about volunteering to patch it up and maintain it if no one else wanted to take it on, also, but if you want to take the lead on it then I'm more than happy to help you where ever possible...assuming this is the direction that's decided upon.
Hi, I've pushed my first branch to fix the dlopen bugs: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torsocks.git/shortlog/refs/heads/dlerror It seems to fix the issues on my Ubuntu system. I could use some testing on OS X, other GNU/Linux, and *BSD systems. I've also updated the bug: http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/issues/detail?id=3 One person has found that it fixed the issue for them as well. Also - it seems that we probably should address this issue very soon: http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/issues/detail?id=37 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/torsocks#WorkaroundforIPv6... I've taken a stab at at least blocking IPv6 connect() calls: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torsocks.git/shortlog/refs/heads/ipv6 https://gitweb.torproject.org/torsocks.git/commit/95528585c1d13b0e17e9d35387... Thoughts? All the best, Jake

I can confirm that the dlopen branch version fixes the res_* error output on Slackware 14.0. Thank you. This certainly makes it easier to look for real errors. -- Sean Robinson

Hi Sean (and list), There's another patch available[1] that we'd like you to test. I've already performed some simple tests, but nothing too extensive so if you can try it and provide feedback I'd really appreciate it. Thanks! Matt [1] https://code.google.com/p/torsocks/issues/detail?id=3

This is probably a better link actually: https://code.google.com/p/torsocks/issues/detail?id=3#c47 Thanks everyone!

Thanks for trying them!

Yeah, that will be a separate commit. There are also two unused variables that warn on Linux that I want to fix. Thanks again.
