  • TORscape Suse-Launcher VS. developer-oem-package

    From bad sector@forgetski@INVALID.net to alt.os.linux.suse on Sat Jul 22 08:42:43 2023
    From Newsgroup: alt.os.linux.suse


    I just installed the Leap-15.5 Suse 'Launcher/AppArmour' package RPMs.
    The also and since many years installed and often upgraded OEM tarball
    is unpacked into a remote directory in which the executable is the
    realworld object of a link in many distros used and abused. NB. This oem
    TOR has been working flawlessly, so much so that it crashes the least of
    all 8 browsers employed, and I saw no reason to muck with it. QUESTION:
    what additional advantage(s) if any does the Suse (Laucher/Apparmor)
    give me?

    I don't see the relationship between apparmor and tor. No idea what you
    are talking about.

    I don't either but I DL'd the package and 3 items showed up in Yast, all
    of them from vendor Suse

    - torbrowser-apparmor-profile
    - torbrowser-launcher
    - torbrowser-launcher-lang

    Newer version available for Tumbleweed, I haven't installed yet, need a
    reason to do so (Leap was a trial balloon).

    Ok, thats simply "tor browser", and dependencies. That's the name.

    So what do I get for installing the Suse RPM with its rags as opposed to
    the developer's OEM tarball which has been working relatively flawlessly?

    Better integration and testing. Bug reporting.

    The organization "tor browser" comes without a customized apparmour
    profile, so arguably less safe.
