Please note: This is an alpha release. You should only try this one if you are interested in tracking Tor development, testing new features, making sure that Tor still builds on unusual platforms, or generally trying to hunt down bugs. If you want a stable experience, please stick to the stable releases.

Removing the /var/builds/tor-git/tor directory and running makepkg -sric allowed me to finish the installation process. However this version is not a stable Tor release which raises the question of why it is offered here without at least a warning to that effect. The only pinned comment is from 2016 and qualifies as stale.

after upgrading to 0.4.9.2 today, I did:

Any clue as to what the error "==> ERROR: /var/builds/tor-git/tor is not a clone of https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor" is about ? Could it be because the "master" branch at origin was renamed "main" but I still have "master" locally ? Essentially it is blocking for me to install the update.

Git needs to be added to depends.

EndlessEden commented on 2021-09-09 11:09 (UTC)

Tor renamed master branch to main

can you try adding LimitMEMLOCK=infinity to the service file, without setting CAP_SYS_RESOURCE

cbhihe commented on 2020-11-14 18:50 (UTC) (edited on 2020-11-14 18:53 (UTC) by cbhihe)

Running on 5.9.8-arch1-1 and just like @PrinceMachiavelli, I added CAP_SYS_RESOURCE to CapabilityBoundingSet inside the file /usr/lib/systemd/system/tor.service to get tor.service to start.

Otherwise I got the following error: "Unable to raise RLIMIT_MEMLOCK: Operation not permitted"

After adding the capability in the service unit file, make sure to disable/enable your service to rebuild the symlink.

BTW, the same thing occurs when executing the community/tor package instead of the AUR one...

Added option for building the rust modules

Added %include /etc/tor/torrc.d/ directive with some commonly used options to avoid cluttering the main torrc file

CAP_DAC_READ_SEARCH removed

_branch can be uncommented to build the stable version
