Previously, we were also considering the time spent in
soft-hibernation. If this was a long time, we would wind up
underestimating our bandwidth by a lot, and skewing our wakeup time
towards the start of the accounting interval.
This patch also makes us store a few more fields in the state file,
including the time at which we entered soft hibernation.
Fixes bug 1789. Bugfix on 0.0.9pre5.
Setting CookieAuthFileGroupReadable but without setting CookieAuthFile makes
no sense, because unix directory permissions for the data directory prevent
the group from accessing the file anyways.
If the voting interval was short enough, the two-minutes delay
of CONSENSUS_MIN_SECONDS_BEFORE_CACHING would confuse bridges
to the point where they would assert before downloading a consensus.
It it was even shorter (<4 minutes, I think), caches would
assert too. This patch fixes that by having replacing the
two-minutes value with MIN(2 minutes, interval/16).
Bugfix for 1141; the cache bug could occur since 0.2.0.8-alpha, so
I'm calling this a bugfix on that. Robert Hogan diagnosed this.
Done as a patch against maint-0.2.1, since it makes it hard to
run some kinds of testing networks.
With this patch we stop scheduling when we should write statistics using a
single timestamp in run_scheduled_events(). Instead, we remember when a
statistics interval starts separately for each statistic type in geoip.c
and rephist.c. Every time run_scheduled_events() tries to write stats to
disk, it learns when it should schedule the next such attempt.
This patch also enables all statistics to be stopped and restarted at a
later time.
This patch comes with a few refactorings, some of which were not easily
doable without the patch.
Once upon a time it made sense to keep all the Debian files in the
main Tor distribution, since repeatedly merging them back in was hard.
Now that we're on git, that's no longer so.
Peter's debian repository at debian/tor.git on our git server has the
most recent version of the tor-on-debian packaging stuff, and the versions
in our own repository have gotten out of date.
Resolves bug #1735.
