For any Raspberry Pi Tor node operators breathlessly following this thread :P I succeeded in building 0.2.4.16-rc on the Pi. We will see how it performs now vs the circuit creation storms. This is not a simple Debian-type binary package install, as the packages present in the Tor Project experimental repos are built for *Debian* wheezy - that is, ARMv7 - and not *Raspbian* which was built to support the ARMv6 CPU on the Pi. So for those wishing to run experimental versions, nightlies etc of Tor on the RasPi, you will need to follow the instructions here: https://www.torproject.org/docs/debian.html.en#source Note that this may require over a GiB of dependency downloads, and the compile takes a long time - I wasn't paying close attention, but maybe 40-60 minutes. After building, when I installed I left out installing the debugging symbols (the -dbg .deb). I have not tried rebuilding a custom OpenSSL .deb yet. I also noticed in the scroll that the build process appeared to be looking around for libnacl-dev[1], which isn't present in Raspbian. I don't know if building NaCl would help with Tor performance on slow machines or not, but it's a thought. Based on some of their statements, they're thinking about the ARM architecture, though given that they mentioned NEON (ARMv7+), ARMv6 and older may be left out - I haven't bothered to dig through yet and see.
