As tor versions up rapidly stable repos sometimes host legacy versions of
tor.
Some people like me tend to just compile it ourselves and replace the
binary, to enjoy the benefit of packaging and to follow up on new
versions.
It would be nice to add build informations, such as gcc version, library
versions and configure arguments. That way people like me can replicate
exactly what the package managers are doing.
