Right now, this version of torsocks breaks the compatibility with the configuration file. I thought of keeping the old one but then I just told myself that considering a complete rewrite, let's take the opportunity to change that conf. file and do it right (and more Tor centric). It might not have been a good idea in the end but I'll let the community judge that and it's totally possible to revert that. > > To make a clean transition from torsocks to <insert new name in here>, > wouldn't it be better not to replace torsocks in Debian with the rewrite? > > I think the new package <insert new name in here> could enter the usual > experimental -> sid -> testing and the old torsocks should just be > removed from testing at some point (reason: dead upstream, superseded by > <insert new name in here>). In terms of new naming, I would personally *love* that but we have to be careful with package that depends on torsocks and one comes into mind, "parcimonie". So, if we decide that a new name is a good idea, packaging needs to consider the transition and possible breakage. Cheers!
