Description of problem: Latest tor version available in fedora repository (0.1.2.17) contains many bugs (including security bugs) which were fixed in 0.1.2.18 and 0.1.2.19. See: http://www.torproject.org/svn/trunk/ReleaseNotes It would be nice to have tor updated in Fedora. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): tor-0.1.2.17-1.fc8
There is an updated version in the development repo: tor-0.1.2.18-4.fc9 If you grab the source and rebuild it, then you would have a new version. However, to run a server you need at least 0.1.2.19 :( +1 for update :)
I modified SPEC from Rawhide to build and package 0.1.2.19 and it works somehow, but there are open bugs in bugzilla, so to make "official" package it's not only to bump a version :(.
You mean bug: 429402,425998 and 375361? I didn't knew that it was policy to ship only packages AFTER the bugzilla has been cleaned. Perhaps we *could* help debugging?
Those bug and 247078 (which should also solve 425998). In my opinion it's in a good manner to close active tickets (if possible), before releasing a new version of package in production branches. Of course security issues are usually more important. I won't be able to help you with "debugging" this week, but if you have time you can provide patch for example for init script.
I might be able to help, but I have nearly 0 knowledge of init (nor do I have time). But I will try ;) Thanks

GREAAAT :D
tor-0.1.2.19-1.fc7 has been pushed to the Fedora 7 testing repository. If problems still persist, please make note of it in this bug report. If you want to test the update, you can install it with su -c 'yum --enablerepo=updates-testing update tor'. You can provide feedback for this update here: http://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/F7/FEDORA-2008-1689
Recently I had been intensively using that version of tor for 2 weeks and it was pretty stable for me. I think that after 2,5 months of being in testing phrase (in Fedora) it could be push stable (for F-7 and F-8).
tor-0.2.0.30-1.fc8 has been submitted as an update for Fedora 8
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
