I run a couple of relays with Debian 7 Wheezy, which is the old stable version.

AS you can see from the Debian package page[1] the latest available version of Tor packaged for Wheezy is 0.2.4.27-3, which to me looks quite behind either 0.2.5.12-4 available in Jessie (stable) or the 0.2.9.X series available through backports or testing.

What's the best to do in this cases? * Should I start updating tor manually? * Should I update Debian on the server? (which could well me start with a fresh install? * Is it ok like it is now, provided that the system is updated?

Thanks,

Cristian
