If we have a debian/micro-revision.i, replace the one in src/or with our copy so that this will be the revision that ends up in the binary. This is an informational only version string, but it'd be kinda nice if it was (more) accurate nonetheless. Of course this won't help if people manually patch around but it's still preferable to claiming we are exactly upstream's source. If we are building directly out of a git tree, update debian/micro-revision.i in the clean target.
Tor only provides TCP layer anonymity. It does not do any protocol cleaning, so if you are going to browse the web you still give away a lot of information to servers. The privoxy package provides a privacy enhancing HTTP proxy, which is good at filtering headers, cookies, and much more. To view the description of the Debian privoxy package just run "apt-cache show privoxy". Please refer to the privoxy documentation for more details. In order to use privoxy over tor, add the following line to your privoxy configuration file: forward-socks4a / localhost:9050 . (the dot is important) Then configure your browser to use privoxy as its HTTP proxy. -- Peter Palfrader <weasel@debian.org>, Tue, 17 Feb 2004 02:15:36 +0100
