Argh. The project isn't mothballed. I'm the maintainer.

We're currently blocking on a web interface and regular tor builds of
2.3.x for ARM with tor-fw-helper enabled. I've also been writing a
number of core utilities to replace commonly vulnerable and crappy
services that such a device needs. The work on tlsdate is almost
entirely directed at helping set the system time on Tails and on Torouter.

Please disregard this - you're welcome to do all kinds of stuff but
this, like a rain dance, isn't likely to result in the best results...

The build of Torouter that I have running includes your arm controller. :)

All the best,
