Re: [tor-relays] Question about downtime

Conrad Rockenhaus:

They’re running on CentOS, so I have to manually install the latest version of tor to keep up with the security updates.

I am considering migrating to Ubuntu or Debian to make the update process simpler.

EPEL repos ship tor 0.2.9.14 - that version should be just fine from a security perspective, but I agree that you will get security updates faster on Debian based systems if you use the torproject's repository.

If you want to run tor 0.3.2.x on CentOS you might want to track: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1532909 https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/maha/tor-latest/
