Re: [tor-relays] Marker branch for current tor release(s)
I second this. There's a recommended-versions list in the consensus, but you have to already have Tor available and running to get it. Maybe also publish in a DNS TXT record or something?

Hi, Tor branches are a question for tor-dev@, I am directing all responses there. Also, I fixed the top-post.

What do you mean by "alpha" and "stable" ? When tor 0.3.2.9 is released next week, there will be no alpha version. When this happens, do you want master, or the latest stable? When there are multiple supported tor versions, which one should be stable? At the moment, we support 0.2.5 and 0.2.9 as long-term support, and 0.3.0 and 0.3.1 as regular releases. Should stable be 0.3.1 (and change to 0.3.2 next week)? Do you want a long-term support branch as well? Should it be 0.2.5 or 0.2.9?

If you want something that's easier to scrape, and signed, check for new source releases at: https://dist.torproject.org/ We provide the latest Tor Browser version through a URL (which I can't remember right now). Maybe we could do the same thing with Tor.

No, you don't need Tor: $ curl http://197.231.221.211:9030/tor/status-vote/current/consensus-microdesc | grep server-versions | tr "," "\n" | tail -1 0.3.2.8-rc Or you can do this far more reliably in Python using stem: https://stem.torproject.org/
Maybe also publish in a DNS TXT record or something?
Is that secure? Can you sign a TXT record? T -- Tim Wilson-Brown (teor) teor2345 at gmail dot com PGP C855 6CED 5D90 A0C5 29F6 4D43 450C BA7F 968F 094B ricochet:ekmygaiu4rzgsk6n xmpp: teor at torproject dot org ------------------------------------------------------------------------

The newest/highest, probably. Essentially the one also proclaimed as stable on the source download page.

Yes.

No. I just need one version to build a relay. ...

Basically current would be the highest non-rc on the list, and alpha would be the -rc (or current if no -rc present). Andreas -- "Totally trivial. Famous last words." From: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@*.org> Date: Fri, 22 Jan 2010 07:29:21 -0800

We also tag releases with "alpha", so these should be included in the alpha branch as well. Is there any reason you can't use the source tarballs for this? They are signed, unlike git branches. https://dist.torproject.org/ T
