Package: tor
Version: 0.2.0.34-1.1
Severity: important
Tags: patch
When trying to install tor on Loongson 2F yeelong laptop, which is
based on mipsel architecture, the installation fails saying that
malloc() replacement compiled with different page size (detailed
install log attached). "HelloWorld" on lemote bbs provided a fix[1]
that let mips arch use malloc_pageshift 14U (also attached) that makes
tor successfully installed on Yeelong laptop.
However, I'm not sure whether this happens on all mipsel architecture
or only on the Loongson 2F platform, as you can see the kernel is
customly built. It'll be great if mipsel port maintainers can help
check its installability and then decide whether to include the fix.
Thanks.
