Comment(by nickm):
My first inclination is to ask, "Is anybody actually trying to use Tor on
FreeBSD 4?" On #3894, grarpamp said: "It probably only exists in small
embedded systems these days."
grarpamp, are you actually trying to run Tor on FreeBSD 4, and do you know
anybody who is? According to what I can find out, it hasn't been
supported for about 6 or 7 years now (http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail
/freebsd-security/2006-October/004111.html). Generally, when the
distribution stops offering security patches, we stop making sure Tor
works there. (That's why we don't support Windows 2000 or OSX 10.5.)
That said, I'd be fine taking clean patches to fix up Tor on FreeBSD 4,
but if it's really unsupported and not getting security patches, I'm
probably not going to write them myself. Is anybody else interested?
