Comment 11 Ludovic Hirlimann [:Paul-muadib] 2017-10-02 00:57:50 UTC 
I've left a comment on bodhi. I still see that version as not good from the TOR network.
Comment 12 Marcel Haerry 2017-10-02 03:56:49 UTC 
I do not see a warning on your atlas site, where is it visible?

The release 0.2.9.12 is the latest Tor LTS release (https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-announce/2017-September/000139.html), this is according to Tor's Wiki Page and verified with Tor staff: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/teams/NetworkTeam/CoreTorReleases Also it fixes all outstanding CVEs, so I would be suprised if Tor would flag their latest LTS release as being not good.

I'm ready to bring newer (non-LTS) versions to Fedora, however first I'd like to sort out #1495063 before moving on. Pushing the latest LTS release to all the repositories was the most non-intrusive action to do, while still fixing all security issues.

It's not showing anymore, it was under property and had a big red button. (maybe some cache issue on atlas. Thanks. i'll update bodhi.

Comment 18 Ludovic Hirlimann [:Paul-muadib] 2017-10-06 14:38:43 UTC 
No 0.3 builds for CentOS
Comment 19 Marcel Haerry 2017-10-07 13:25:25 UTC 
I still need to verify whether we can bring the 0.3 builds into EPEL according to EPEL's update policy. AND 0.2.9.12 is the latest release of Tor's LTS branch. So it has all the fixes and is supported for quite a while.

Are there any features you are missing with 0.2.9.12 (except for not being latest) that you like to have in EPEL?
