Whonix-Gateway Tor 0.2.9.9 (unrecommended) -- No Update...Unsafe?

The best option would be if we could pin major version (0.2.9.) in apt/preferences but torproject’s repo only contains the latest stable version so we would lose updates as soon as 0.3.0. came out.

True.

You probably know but in case anyone is wondering: an automatic 0.2.9 → 0.3 upgrade of Tor could break connectivity for Whonix users. (Happened in past. AppArmor, configs and whatnot.) That’s why it’s not as easy as enabling torproject’s repository by default for everyone.

Will see if I can find out why they don’t keep all supported versions in their repo (or maybe I’m doing it wrong.)

Because then we could stay with the version from Debian.
