Heads up: anti-censorship tools now packaged on deb.torproject.org
Greetings, We're currently preparing 4 new Debian packages to be included in the Tor Project Debian repository hosted at "deb.torproject.org" in the coming days: * lyrebird * webtunnel * snowflake-proxy * snowflake-client If your system is configured with "deb.torproject.org" in your APT sources and any of the above packages are installed from the regular Debian archive, they will automatically upgrade the Tor Project-published versions. We're doing this to ensure that downstream users of these important anti-censorship tools have an update channel that allows them to receive timely upgrades automatically. That being said, packages from both channels should remain compatible and interchangeable. If you encounter any issues with them, please let us know by creating an issue in https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/anti-censorship/team/-/work_items. If you wish to add "deb.torproject.org" in your Debian system's APT sources, please follow the instructions at: https://support.torproject.org/little-t-tor/getting-started/installing/#debi... -- Micah Anderson (he/him) Director of Engineering The Tor Project, Inc. <https://torproject.org>
Great update, Micah! Adding lyrebird, webtunnel, and the snowflake packages directly to deb.torproject.org is a huge win for ensuring downstream users receive timely security and feature upgrades automatically. Having reliable, uninterrupted access to anti-censorship tools is essential—especially for students and researchers operating in restricted network environments who depend on consistent connectivity for everything from academic work to accessing daily productivity utilities like https://attendcalc.com Appreciate the Tor Project team keeping these update channels proactive and seamlessly maintained!
