Tor package on the way to awesome, and looking for a re-review

Hello,

In the FESCo meeting yesterday (February 27th), it was decided that
Enrico Scholz would be removed as maintainer of the tor package, and
that I should become the primary maintainer.

I am going about fixing the package and bringing it back into shape with
the help of co-maintainer Paul Wouters and hopefully with input from
upstream. We hope that upstream will be able to stop telling people not
to use the Fedora tor packages.

Changes so far:
  http://jamielinux.fedorapeople.org/fix-tor/CHANGELOG
  http://jamielinux.fedorapeople.org/fix-tor/series/

Because there are so many changes, and in the interests of doing things
properly, I've requested for a re-review of the package to make sure the
changes are good for Fedora:

  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=916627

I've already applied the 20 patch series in git, but before pushing any
updates out I want to make sure things really are in good shape, and
will make further changes as necessary.

Reviewing the latest spec should be quite straightforward, as excluding
the changelog it's only 120 lines, compared to the 250 lines is used to
be. The package is buildable and installable/upgradable after each patch
in the series, so the reviewer may alternatively choose to review each
patch individually.


Kind regards,
