[v1.8.0RC2] Tor package version

With the ongoing DDOS on Tor (see status.torproject.org) having the latest package is important.

On RC2 the tor --version is the old one from Debian: https://packages.debian.org/bullseye/tor

The cause is that the Tor repo signing key has been not imported during the build. Should exit if unsuccesfull, but Tor might not be ready by then https://github.com/rootzoll/raspiblitz/blob/8f756e2d47f9bd3d1cc4318b5dda78872128b486/home.admin/config.scripts/tor.install.sh#L144

Will need to keep an eye on this at the next SDcard build. Might need to pull the key over clearnet.

in the meantime update Tor by pasting these to the CLI:

# variables
tor_deb_repo="tor+http://apow7mjfryruh65chtdydfmqfpj5btws7nbocgtaovhvezgccyjazpqd.onion"
tor_deb_repo_clean="${tor_deb_repo#*tor+}"
tor_deb_repo_pgp_fingerprint="A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89"

distribution=$(lsb_release -sc)
architecture=$(dpkg --print-architecture)


# Adding deb.torproject.org keyring
curl -s -x socks5h://127.0.0.1:9050 --connect-timeout 10 "${tor_deb_repo_clean}/torproject.org/${tor_deb_repo_pgp_fingerprint}.asc" | gpg --dearmor | sudo tee /etc/apt/trusted.gpg.d/torproject.gpg 

# Adding Tor Sources 
echo "
deb [arch=${architecture}] ${tor_deb_repo}/torproject.org ${distribution} main
deb-src [arch=${architecture}] ${tor_deb_repo}/torproject.org  ${distribution} main
" | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tor.list

# dependency to pull over Tor
sudo apt install -y apt-transport-tor

sudo apt update

sudo apt install tor

The UPDATE menu is set to update from apt rather than source by default, but adding some improvement there to make sure the signing key is present.

The clearnet link for the signing key (in case adding over Tor is not successful):

curl https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89.asc | gpg --import
gpg --export A3C4F0F979CAA22CDBA8F512EE8CBC9E886DDD89 | sudo apt-key add -

OK solved in v1.8.0rc4 :

₿ tor --version
Tor version 0.4.7.8.
Tor is running on Linux with Libevent 2.1.12-stable, OpenSSL 1.1.1n, Zlib 1.2.11, Liblzma 5.2.5, Libzstd 1.4.8 and Glibc 2.31 as libc.
Tor compiled with GCC version 10.2.1

Ok, it’s 0.4.7.8 if I use fatpack. Else it’s version 0.4.6.10. I guess it’s because fatpack=true does all the steps, but fatpack=false does not.
