There are people willing to do work (#3 torbrowser-launcher is currently being worked on), but what you are suggesting is what I call policy. It's either too complicated or too time consuming for mortals to do. That's why no one showed up. As a pragmatical solution, The Tor Project provides working binaries. They could simply be packaged and added to the repository - but, that won't be accepted? -> That's my point. _______________________________________________ tor-talk mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
