Whonix 12 testers repository - Notes

Development

It’s ready…

mirror.whonix.org always lags behind. Either wait ~1 hour. Or use this…

In summary…

sudo whonix_repository --baseuri http://sourceforge.net/projects/whonixdevelopermetafiles/files/internal/ --repository testers --enable && \
sudo apt-get update && \
sudo apt-get --yes dist-upgrade && \
sudo apt-get --yes autoremove

Some notes…

[hr]

Tor Browser will no be started from the old location…

/home/user/tor-browser_en-US

or this old location…

/home/user/.tb/tor-browser_en-US

but from the new location…

/home/user/.tb/tor-browser

(Reason: Whonix Forum)

There is no convenient upgrade path yet during this transition.

In short… Either run these two commands (one will fail, one should work)…

mv /home/user/.tb/tor-browser_en-US /home/user/.tb/tor-browser
mv /home/user/tor-browser_en-US /home/user/.tb/tor-browser

Or you will be asked to download a new Tor Browser. I’ll guess I’ll automate that.

There are no new images yet. Soon there will be a release candidate.
