The Tor extension in my MyDSL repository is over 9 months old, and there have been many security related updates to the software since then. I believe it's irresponsible to continue making such an out-of-date security package available, since it could jeopardize the anonymous status of privacy-seeking individuals.

I agree.  Please submit an updated extension version so the original one can be replaced.

FYI:

MyDSL packages are created and maintained by DSL users.  They are available from the repository only as a convenience, and the DSL dev team is not responsible for their integrity or upkeep.

Had this thread been put in the mydsl section rather than the DSL support/feedback section, I wouldn't have said anything...just wanted to make it clear that this irresponsible behavior you speak of is not applicable to DSL development.

I already tried making an updated extension but I'm just not as good of a developer as you guys. When I tried compiling the binary to be static by way of editing the Makefile with $LDFLAGS and $CFLAGS, I get a response that gcc can't find the ssl libs, even though I'm specifically telling it where they are with -L/usr/lib.

I then made a dynamically linked binary for the extension. That works fine on my hard-drive installed DSL system, but when I run it on a dsl livecd system it won't work because it wants to drop a couple of libs into the /usr directory which I get told that it's read-only.


So I'll surely go ahead and whip yall up a right nice extension, if only somebody would tell me the exact string to enter to squeeze a static, stripped binary outta this, either by way of the Makefile or as command line arguments to make.
