‼️ Tor deprecation detail
--tor and --unique-tor are now deprecated, and both are up for possible removal in a future release (#2200). Users who need time to adapt to this change can install the now-optional dependency torrequest. If Sherlock has been installed via pip, pip install 'sherlock-project[tor]' will include the necessary extras
Since torrequest is simply not available as an rpm, those options have already been patched out of the Fedora release.
📦 Packaging info
Many packages are required to be built entirely offline, as with the official Fedora release and the upcoming community-supported Debian release. Sherlock's unit tests generally require an internet connection, but with the adoption of tox and pytest, we've added offline-only test modes.
tox -e offline is the preferred offline-only test method, with pytest -m "not online" also being supported out of the box. Reference @ppfeister's spec file for an example of fully-offline unit testing with tox.
