= Options =
'''Choose one or multiple options.'''
'''A)''' Kicksecure Repositories Review
Look through the repositories provided by [https://github.com/{{project_name_short}} {{project_name_short}} on github] ([https://github.com/orgs/Kicksecure/repositories?q=&type=all&language=&sort=name sorted by name]). For example, [[security-misc]] can be installed without installing any packages that Depends:
on tor
.
Each repository has a rudimentary readme file which explains the functionality of the software package and how to install it.
'''B)''' Packages for Debian Hosts
Some packages are mentioned on the [[Packages for Debian Hosts]] wiki page.
'''C)''' Kicksecure Meta Packages Review
Alternatively, the user could look at [https://github.com/{{project_name_short}}/kicksecure-meta-packages/blob/master/debian/control kicksecure-meta-packages debian/control
] and choose meta packages which do not Depends:
on tor
. This isn't easy. As a package on which a meta pacakge Depends:
might itself have a Depends:
on tor
.
The user would have to review the output of APT before proceeding to install to see if it includes tor
.
'''D)''' Install a fake Tor package
1. fake tor
already being installed
* https://askubuntu.com/questions/18192/how-to-fake-a-package-version-installed
* https://wiki.debian.org/Packaging/HackingDependencies
2. Configure APT to update without Tor
3. [[#Update without Tor|Update without Tor]]
'''E)''' Mask the Tor service.
The user could attempt to prevent Tor from starting before installing Kicksecure. [[Untested]]!
1.
{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo systemctl mask tor
}}
2.
{{CodeSelect|code=
sudo systemctl mask tor@default
}}
3. [[#Update without Tor|Update without Tor]]
= Update without Tor =
The tor+
prefix would need to be removed from /etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian.list
.
= Future =
This is mostly [[undocumented]]. No development progress should be expected as this is not the project focus. At very least not until a stable release of the {{project_name_short}} [[ISO]] becomes available.
