recommended way to run 0.4.7 on armhf?

What's the recommended way to run 0.4.7 on armhf?
The package repository [deb.torproject.org] does not offer 32-bit ARM architecture (armhf) images (yet).
https://support.torproject.org/apt/tor-deb-repo/ Debian has 0.4.7 in bullseye-backports. But Raspbian doesn't have bullseye-backports: http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian/dists/ -- ilf If you upload your address book to "the cloud", I don't want to be in it.

Right. One thing we recommended when talking to relay operators during earlier EOL upgrade periods is adding the debian -backports repository to the Raspberry Pi. It worked well according to the feedback we got. We linked to https://marksrpicluster.blogspot.com/2019/12/add-buster-backports-to-raspber... for general steps (you need to adapt them for bullseye, though). Hope this helps, Georg

Thanks. I thought about doing that, but I would rather not like to mix Raspian bullseye and Debian bullseye-backports. Is there a good reason against building armhf on deb.torproject.org? Georg Koppen:

Just resource constraints. We have a ticket for that work[1] but de-prioritized it even further given that we have a good workaround and a lot of affected users are happy with it. Patches (still) welcome! :) Georg [1] https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/40347

Have you thought about taking the packages from deb.debian.org bullseye-backports and distributing them via deb.torproject.org? Georg Koppen:

What's the recommended way to run 0.4.8.9 on armhf Raspberry Pi? Raspbian only has 0.4.7.13 in bookworm, there is no -security or -backports repository: http://raspbian.raspberrypi.org/raspbian Tor Debian packages doesn't have 32-bit ARM architecture (armhf): https://support.torproject.org/apt/tor-deb-repo/ Until now, TPO recommended using Debian -backports. But that still has 0.4.7.13: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye-backports/tor Debian bookworm (stable) also only has 0.4.7.16: https://packages.debian.org/bookworm/tor I would love to run 0.4.8.9 (and keep it current) on Raspbian, without having to build from source. I welcome any tips. Georg Koppen:
