How to update tor on my raspberry
Hey there. My exit is still running on tor 0.2.4.27. How can i update it to 0.2.7.6 ? Apt-get offers no package with apt-get update and upgrade. Any hints? Best, Volker
Hallo Volker, that looks strange. I do run a middle relay on raspian jessie and got it weeks ago by running your commands... /etc/apt/sources.list does have the following entries: deb http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian jessie main contrib non-free deb-src http://archive.raspbian.org/raspbian jessie main contrib non-free deb http://ftp.debian.org/debian jessie main deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jessie main deb-src http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jessie main Regards Paul Am 10.01.2016 um 15:11 schrieb Volker Mink:

Hi Volker, as you’re running version 0.2.4.27, you still seem to be on Debian/Raspbian wheezy. If you’re using your Raspberry Pi just as a relay (as I do), it’s safe to recommend the upgrade to jessie, which already includes a newer version of the tor package (0.2.5.12). If you have a Raspberry Pi 2 Model B, on wheezy you can add
deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org wheezy main deb-src http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org wheezy main
or when you’ve upgraded to jessie, add
deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jessie main deb-src http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org jessie main
to /etc/apt/sources.list (as shown in the Tor installation guides [0]). Then you will be able to upgrade to the latest release (currently 0.2.7.6). If you have the “old” Model A/A+/B/B+, you’re “stuck” with the version the Raspbian repository gives you, because of an incompatible hardware architecture (if you want to know more about this, read [1], essentially it says it’s armhf but it actually is armel). I hope that helps for now!

I just download the source code and do a build. It takes a while but at least you can grab a coffee! Sent from my iPad

True, but compiling from source is more educational.. Sent from my iPad

It's generally a better idea to use software repositories, primarily because it's easier to stay up-to-date.

It's not, unless you apply some changes of your own to the source code. If you don't, then it's just a difference between entering one set of commands (and waiting considerably more), vs entering another set of commands. And if you meant "educational" as in useful for the future in a *nix system administration job, then nope, compiling random pieces of software from the source is not how you manage a park of servers (not to mention keep it up to date...). Not useful for learning programming either, as there's zero "programming" in "configure, make". In fact installing from the source is often done in a terribly wrong way, via simple "make install", which avoids your OS'es package manager, and just directly copies random files into your system -- often you won't have the means to cleanly uninstall that. To summarize, compiling from the source is "educational" only in the sense of teaching yourself to use a wrong and useless practice, instead of doing it properly via correctly setting up and using the package manager. -- With respect, Roman
