Notes for anyone packaging TorK:
- TorK installs a utility called torkify, which relies on libtorksocks.so and a config file
tork-tsocks.conf. Libtorksocks.so will get installed to the $(libdir)/tork directory, while tork-tsocks.conf will get installed to $(sysconfdir) (usually /etc). Before
distributing your package you should ensure that the command 'torkify ssh' or similar
works and does not return errors. You can also test this by launching an 'Anonymous SSH
session' from TorK's 'Anonymize' tab. If you're having issues with it on your platform
please contact me at robert@roberthogan.net.
- Ideally you should also check that torksocks (installed in $(bindir)) is referencing the
correct location of libtorksocks.so for your installation. You should also check that
torkify (installed in $(bindir)) is referencing the correct location of tork-tsocks.conf.
- Do not use an external version of tsocks with TorK. The version packaged with TorK is
specially patched for anonymous use (it ensures DNS queries from the tsocks-ified application
do not bypass Tor).
- You can use an external version of libgeoip if you like. By default, tork will compile the
bundled GeoIP and link to it statically.
