Right now we only force a new descriptor upload every 18 hours.
This can make servers become unlisted if they upload a descriptor at
time T which the authorities reject as being "too similar" to one
they uploaded before. Nothing will actually make the server upload a
new descriptor later on, until another 18 hours have passed.
This patch changes the upload behavior so that the 18 hour interval
applies only when we're listed in a live consensus with a descriptor
published within the last 18 hours. Otherwise--if we're not listed
in the live consensus, or if we're listed with a publication time
over 18 hours in the past--we upload a new descriptor every 90
minutes.
This is an attempted bugfix for #3327. If we merge it, it should
obsolete #535.
For some reason, autoconf doesn't by default have an "AC_PROG_AR" for
this -- possibly it's assumed that any "ar" you have will work
everyplace.
Fixes bug 3909; found by sid77.
This fixes a build issue first present in fdbdb4dc15, but the bug
(of not using a correct ar) has been in every Tor version ever: it
just didn't matter until then.
For bufferevents, we had all of connection_buckets_decrement() stubbed
out. But that's not actually right! The rephist_* parts were
essential for, inter alia, recording our own bandwidth. This patch
splits out the rephist parts of connection_buckets_decrement() into their
own function, and makes the bufferevent code call that new function.
Fixes bug 3803, and probably 3824 and 3826 too. Bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
Previously, if you were set up to use microdescriptors, and you
weren't a cache, you'd never fetch router descriptors (except for
bridges). Now FetchUselessDescriptors causes descriptors and
mirodescs to get cached. Also, FetchUselessDescriptors changes the
behavior of "UseMicrodescriptors auto" to be off, since there's no
point in saying "UseMicrodescriptors 1" when you have full descriptors
too.
Fix for bug 3851; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
Because tunneled connections are implemented with buffervent_pair,
writing to them can cause an immediate flush. This means that
added to them and then checking to see whether their outbuf is
empty is _not_ an adequate way to see whether you added anything.
This caused a problem in directory server connections, since they
would try spooling a little more data out, and then close the
connection if there was no queued data to send.
This fix should improve matters; it only closes the connection if
there is no more data to spool, and all of the spooling callbacks
are supposed to put the dirconn into dir_spool_none on completion.
This is bug 3814; Sebastian found it; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha.
