cypherpunks said in the ticket:
The first released tor version with this feature is 0.3.1.1-alpha.
As usual there will be alpha packages on deb.torproject.org
If you want this feature now you can use the nightly builds:
https://deb.torproject.org/torproject.org/dists/tor-nightly-master-stretch
A detailed instruction has been written in the new /etc/tor/torrc file (in Whonix, the path is /etc/tor/torrc.anondist-orig
) shipped with the Tor nightly:
## Configuration options can be imported from files or folders using the %include
## option with the value being a path. If the path is a file, the options from the
## file will be parsed as if they were written where the %include option is. If
## the path is a folder, all files on that folder will be parsed following lexical
## order. Files starting with a dot are ignored. Files on subfolders are ignored.
## The %include option can be used recursively.
#%include /etc/torrc.d/
#%include /etc/torrc.custom
TODO:
- update related Whonix wiki
Questions:
- Should we change a way to organize the tor configuration files in Whonix?
- if so, we probably also need to do minor changes on other related/influenced part, eg. the command line used to restart/reload Tor?
ps. It seems updating to Tor nightly in Whonix will not update the /etc/tor/torrc file automatically. I will investigate on this and post the findings below
