Currently running Debian's stable/wheezy version of tor which 0.2.3.25 on my first relay, gracemissionstor.
I discovered the torproject deb repository here (of course): https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian
The following google search: debian upgrade site:torproject.org didn't give much.
But the following search: "tor relay" upgrade site:torproject.org gave: https://blog.torproject.org/blog/lifecycle-of-a-new-relay
and the FAQ which includes: https://www.torproject.org/docs/faq.html.en#UpgradeOrMove which relates how to keep the same relay id when upgrading.
Is there a recommended procedure for upgrading tor relay?
Should I upgrade asap now that I've realised torproject has more recent (0.2.4) stable version of tor?
Or should I just wait until I have to reboot the server (don't know when that could be) or until a security alert comes around from tor developers?
Perhaps I should just rely on the debian package to do the right thing regardless (which for most services is to restart the service, but I guess could be 'do nothing until next reboot' if the packager decided that was wise).
Seeking some guidance on this issue thanks, Zenaan
