Package: vidalia
Version: 0.2.21-5
Severity: serious
Vidalia has been dead upstream for years, and has a crapload of bugs
nobody will ever fix. The Tor Project is currently actively removing
any reference to Vidalia from their website.
We're not even sure if it's in good shape in Jessie, e.g. about what
happens exactly on initial installation -- not sure it is configured
properly to use the control socket as it should. Some people are
happier with 0.3.x, but that one is itself alpha-quality software with
another crapload of bugs that nobody will ever fix. Even Tails is
going to ditch Vidalia soonish, and Tails is shipping its patched
version anyway.
So, it is the maintainers' opinion (agreed by Holger on the
pkg-anonymity-tools@ mailing-list, and by Lunar on IRC) that Vidalia
should not be part of the Jessie release.
Cheers,
