Re: [tor-relays] tor alpha users: if you are still running 0.3.3.5-rc..

I would guess that people that made this mistake just misunderstood how apt sources work? Just unfamiliar with the distribution method?
If that's you:
You can have more than one source that supplies a given package and it's apt's job to pick the right one (or make you do it if it can't.) So you can just leave the stable branch listed - generally whichever source has the higher available version will win. You get the cutting edge alphas until they push it to stable (and you can remove/update the alpha source at your leisure.)

Happy to help with the test branches.

Dear debian/ubuntu tor alpha repo users,

there is an oddly high number of
relays running 0.3.3.5-rc
which was the last version before the 0.3.3.x alpha repo
has been discontinued.

If you are doing apt upgrades and don't get tor v0.3.3.7 your sources list is
likely incorrectly setup (only containing the experimental lines without the tor stable lines),
please ensure you copy and paste the sources.list lines from

https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en#ubuntu

after choosing your settings from the drop down.

Note: as already noted on this list, the page is slightly outdated.

If you want to help testing 0.3.4.x you should replace
'0.3.3.x' with '0.3.4.x'
in your sources.list


bonus points if you want to share
the reason why you had a misconfigured sources.list
file (maybe we can improve / avoid that somewhere)
