Comment 2 for bug 689188

The main blocker for bug #413657 was that we didn't have anyone inside Tor that wanted to ensure that Ubuntu got the attention that it deserved. That has now changed.

I'm a Tor developer and I'm also committed to seeing that our Ubuntu support finally returns to a reasonable state of affairs. The current state requires something like twelve steps to install Tor, it is by far the worst out of any platform we support.

I'd be happy to work with anyone else in Ubuntu to make this happen. This has the blessing of the Tor project - for whatever that is worth. The Debian packages are maintained by Peter and while he wants nothing to do with the Ubuntu packaging, we've been building Ubuntu packages for years and they've been working well.
