Re: Tor 0.2.2.19-alpha is out



I notice that 0.2.1.27 was downloaded today by the Synaptic Update Manager.  Thanks for creating it. 

I have a question about the procedure for verifying signatures. 

My sources.list file contains: deb http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org lucid main

System / Administration / Software Sources / Other Software also lists http://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org lucid main

In System / Administration / Software Sources / Authentication there is an deb.torproject.org archive signing key dated 2009-09-04 with the value 886DDD89.  

Am I correct to think that this key sufficient to verify updates when using sources.list.  My impression is that the page https://www.torproject.org/docs/verifying-signatures.html.en refers to verifying files that have been manually downloaded (rather than through Update Manager).

Also, who exactly owns
886DDD89?  Is it a specific person or for torproject.org as a whole?

Thanks.

You are doing it correctly.  Packages for ubuntu/debian for 0.2.1.27
aren't created yet.  We announce the source release before the binary
packages we create are available.  It's generally a few days from source
release to binary package availability.  The exception here is OS X PPC,
which lacks a build machine right now.
