Upgrading to 0.2.3.4 on Debian
I setup a relay to support the cause, but also as a means to learn about Linux - still a long way to got on the latter, and so this question: I run aptitude regularly, and my sources.list includes "deb http://deb.torproject.org/torprojects.org squeeze main" but there are no updates coming through for tor beyond 0.2.1.29-1 on my ppc platform. Should there be, or should I be doing something else to get to 0.2.3.4? Am I even asking the right question? Thanks...

AFAIK, PPC binaries are not provided in the various linux repositories. The current stable branch is 2.2.x and the current development branch is 2.3.x, so the package you have installed is probably maintained by your distribution, not the Tor Project. I imagine the easiest way to get the latest version working is to follow the "Building from Source" instructions at https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en#source to make your own Debian packages. Make sure to include both deb-src lines if you want to move to the 2.3.x branch. ~Justin Aplin

With command: aptitude -v show tor you can see all the versions of the package tor that aptitude knows of. If you want to install particular version, you can install it with aptitude install tor=<version_string> Note that this may cause the dependencies also to be updated or create some conflicts to be solved if the versions in repository are not matching to each other just now. The latest versions available in official debian archives (for powerpc) are: squeeze (stable): 0.2.1.29-1 wheezy (testing): 0.2.2.32-1 sid (unstable): 0.2.2.33-1 experimental: 0.2.3.4-alpha-1 So, add the repositories you want to the apt's sources.list, ran aptitude update and they should be available. Beware that you don't accidentally update all the packages in your system. Unstable may be unstable to run and experimental doubly so. See apt preferences file for information on how to select preferred distribution to be used in the case where you have multiple distributions mentioned in the sources.list Cheers, Edu

add deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org experimental-squeeze main if you want unstable releases. -- Moritz Bartl https://www.torservers.net/
