* Remove the debian directory from the main git repositoryNick Mathewson2010-08-04
| | | | | | | | | | | | Once upon a time it made sense to keep all the Debian files in the main Tor distribution, since repeatedly merging them back in was hard. Now that we're on git, that's no longer so. Peter's debian repository at debian/tor.git on our git server has the most recent version of the tor-on-debian packaging stuff, and the versions in our own repository have gotten out of date. Resolves bug #1735.

* Update debian defaults in preparation for starting as root.Peter Palfrader2008-02-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Previously the debian defaults were only loaded when we started Tor as the debian-tor user. Now they are also loaded when started as root. In addition to logging, pidfile, datadir and runasdaemon we also change the User and Group options from their NULL default to "debian-tor" so that Tor correctly setuids/setgids to the role user the package created. This will allow us to start the daemon as root. svn:r13685

| | | | | | | | | | Log differed from upstreams. Now Tor behaves just like before (with our own DataDirectory and all) only when run as the debian-tor user. If invoked as any other user, Tor will behave just like the pristine upstream version. svn:r6821
