I met with them on numerous occasions (eg last at GSoC Mentor Summit
where we toegether worked on fedora tor bugs and created numerous "upstream'
bug reports so I could file the below bugzilla report to you.

 	WONTFIX:

 	* Sun Dec 17 2006 Enrico Scholz <enrico.scholz@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> -
 	0.1.1.26-1
 	- do not turn on logging by default; it's easier to say "we do not log
   	anything" to the police instead of enumerating the logged event
   	classes and trying to explain that they do not contain any valuable
   	information

Upstream reports a logging bug. You claim to know better and WONTFIX
because obviously you have more experience in the legalities of running
tor nodes and the police then upstream does......

And:

 	Output in %post violates Fedora Packaging guidelines

 	WONTFIX; The alternative would be something like '%postun() script
 	failed'. RH/Fedora should fix its core utils before it can expect to
 	follow such guidelines.

I don't even know what to say here. A provenpackager should just fix
your %post lsb output.

Also I filed:

> Fixed init scripts to use Fedora Guideline Package version which

That wasn't solved last time i looked.

I also don't see any ulimit support in tor.lsb required for running
larger tor nodes.

I haven't looked through the tor upstream bug tracker recently to see
what other issues are there. But the fact that tor upstream is
recommending not using fedora packages is bad for everyone, and that
situation requires fixing.

So yes, that bugzilla bug is still open and with valid reasons.
