Re: [tor-dev] [tor-relays] Marker branch for current tor release(s)

(I dropped tor-relays, we can tell them when we reach a conclusion.)

Hi Nick,

Can we maintain an "alpha" branch with the latest Tor alpha,
and a "stable" branch with the latest Tor stable?

It would help some relay operators.

And it would also help us get more alpha testing:

Because the experimental deb repos on this page are tied to a
particular release of Tor:

When there are multiple supported tor versions, which one should be stable?
At the moment, we support 0.2.5 and 0.2.9 as long-term support, and 0.3.0 and
0.3.1 as regular releases.

The newest/highest, probably. Essentially the one also
proclaimed as stable on the source download page.

Should stable be 0.3.1 (and change to 0.3.2 next week)?

Yes.

Do you want a long-term support branch as well?

No. I just need one version to build a relay.

If you want something that's easier to scrape, and signed, check for
new source releases at:

Scraping would be a fallback.

...
$ curl http://197.231.221.211:9030/tor/status-vote/current/consensus-microdesc | grep server-versions | tr "," "\n" | tail -1
0.3.2.8-rc

Basically current would be the highest non-rc on the list,
and alpha would be the -rc (or current if no -rc present).

We also tag releases with "alpha", so these should be included
in the alpha branch as well.

Is there any reason you can't use the source tarballs for this?
They are signed, unlike git branches.
