[tor-relays] BSD tor ports/packages and impending 0.4.7.7 release

[George <george@xxxxxxxxxx>]

BSD relay operators, like everyone else, should be aware that upgrading 
tor to 0.4.7.7 is critical for exit relays. The source is available now at:

https://dist.torproject.org/tor-0.4.7.7.tar.gz

Specifically for the BSD ports, here is the current status and workings. 
Any corrections appreciated.

* DragonflyBSD
https://github.com/DragonFlyBSD/DPorts/tree/master/security/tor

Downstreams from FreeBSD quarterly updates, so may not have a 0.4.7.7 
package or port for security/tor until July.

* FreeBSD
https://www.freshports.org/security/tor
https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/security/tor
https://svnweb.freebsd.org/ports/head/security/tor/

Updated to 0.4.7.7 already, and can be installed from security/tor now. 
Working fine at this point.

For pkg(8) users, ensure that /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf line 11 is set to 
"latest", as opposed to "quarterly", which should be the case regardless 
of this security/tor release:

       url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest";,

* NetBSD
https://pkgsrc.se/net/tor

pkgsrc's current port of net/tor was updated to 0.4.7.7. The stable port 
is still on 0.4.6.10 at 
https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/pkgsrc/stable/pkgsrc/net/tor/Makefile

* OpenBSD
https://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/ports/net/tor/

The -current net/tor has been updated to 0.4.7.7 and the package is 
available.

For users running 7.1-stable, net/tor 0.4.7.7 will hopefully be 
officially backported. Users can also update net/tor from ports on 
-stable themselves easily enough. If you're not on 7.1-stable, consider 
upgrading immediately.

Thanks.
