tor-deb-raspberry-pi

=============

This is a repo for Tor .deb packages built for the arm architecture and specifically for the Raspberry Pi. This is a more up-to-date version of Tor compared to the ones used by Debian and Raspbian. 

## Installation

 * Download the latest .deb under releases

 * on the pi as root run

 dpkg -i tor-{whateverversion}.deb

 * If you receive an error stating that libevent is not installed, you can automatically install it by running

 apt-get install -f

## Why? ##

 * Debian(and Raspbian) repos are notoriously out of date

 * The custom repos you normally use for Debian and Ubuntu do not support Arm

 * Building from source is not easy in a chroot environment and very time consuming

This is meant to be an up-to-date version of Tor .DEB package that can easily be installed on Raspbian or other Debian-based distros running on the Raspberry Pi. It is built on a Raspberry Pi Model B but should also work on A just fine.

## Why not a PPA?##

Because Launchpad doesn't support arm architecture at this point. 

## Why should I trust you ##

You shouldn't. Although I know I'm not messing with the source, you shouldn't trust a binary and if this is a concern of yours, you should build it from source yourself. 

## Future Versions ##

 [ ] build for experimental builds as well

 

 [ ] automate the build process
