Description Hartmut Goebel 2013-12-07 17:18:28 CET

When installing the tor package, tor gets installed as a server. But users may not want to run tor permanently but on demand. Also tor is installed for running as user 'toruser', which may break/confuse vidalia (see bug #11194).

I suggest splitting of the package into a "normal" one and a "server" one. The "normal" one will include tor to be started by a normal user. The "server" package will contain everything needed to start Tor automatically with the
computer.

This is already implemented in the attached .spec file (and patch).

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
