"Tor has included a feature to fetch the initial consensus from nodes
other than the authorities for a while now. We just haven't shipped a
list of alternate locations for clients to go to yet.
Reasons why we might want to ship tor with a list of additional places
where clients can find the consensus is that it makes authority
reachability and BW less important.
We want them to have been around and using their current key, address,
and port for a while now (120 days), and have been running, a guard,
and a v2 directory mirror for most of that time."
Features:
* whitelist and blacklist for an opt-in/opt-out trial.
* excludes BadExits, tor versions that aren't recommended, and low
consensus weight directory mirrors.
* reduces the weighting of Exits to avoid overloading them.
* places limits on the weight of any one fallback.
* includes an IPv6 address and orport for each FallbackDir, as
implemented in #17327. (Tor won't bootstrap using IPv6 fallbacks
until #17840 is merged.)
* generated output includes timestamps & Onionoo URL for traceability.
* unit test ensures that we successfully load all included default
fallback directories.
Closes ticket #15775. Patch by "teor".

Integrate ed25519-donna into the build process, and provide an
interface that matches the `ref10` code. Apart from the blinding and
Curve25519 key conversion, this functions as a drop-in replacement for
ref10 (verified by modifying crypto_ed25519.c).
Tests pass, and the benchmarks claim it is quite a bit faster, however
actually using the code requires additional integration work.
For this to work bt_test.py now returns an exit code indicating success or
failure. Additionally, check-local and its specific dependencies are now
obsolete so they are removed.
The zero length keys test now requires the path to the Tor binary as the first
parameter to ensure the correct Tor binary is used without hard coding a path.
The wrapper script calls the zero length keys test for each test separately to
ensure the correct shell is used (as configured by autoconf). Another solution
would have been to place the tests into separate functions so multiple tests
could be run internally. This would have made a diff of considerable size and
frankly it is outside the scope of this fix.
This reduces the likelihood that I have made any exploitable errors
in the encoding/decoding.
This commit also imports the trunnel runtime source into Tor.
torrc.minimal is now the one that should change as infrequently as
possible. To schedule an change to go into it eventually, make your
change to torrc.minimal.in-sample.
torrc.sample is now the volatile one: we can change it to our hearts'
content.
Closes ticket #11144
We don't have any more latex files in Tor, so there's no reason to
.gitignore all of the latex droppings. On the other hand, automake
likes to use .trs files and .log for test suite outputs.
In doc, restoring torify made us generate some .in files we didn't
before.
In contrib, we added tor.service.in, but didn't add tor.service to .gitignore
If you pass the --enable-coverage flag on the command line, we build
our testing binaries with appropriate options eo enable coverage
testing. We also build a "tor-cov" binary that has coverage enabled,
for integration tests.
On recent OSX versions, test coverage only works with clang, not gcc.
So we warn about that.
Also add a contrib/coverage script to actually run gcov with the
appropriate options to generate useful .gcov files. (Thanks to
automake, the .o files will not have the names that gcov expects to
find.)
Also, remove generated gcda and gcno files on clean.
This is mainly a matter of automake trickery: we build each static
library in two versions now: one with the TOR_UNIT_TESTS macro
defined, and one without. When TOR_UNIT_TESTS is defined, we can
enable mocking and expose more functions. When it's not defined, we
can lock the binary down more.
The alternatives would be to have alternate build modes: a "testing
configuration" for building the libraries with test support, and a
"production configuration" for building them without. I don't favor
that approach, since I think it would mean more people runnning
binaries build for testing, or more people not running unit tests.
We decided to no longer ship expert packages for OS X because they're a
lot of trouble to keep maintained and confuse users. For those who want
a tor on OS X without Vidalia, macports is a fine option. Alternatively,
building from source is easy, too.
The polipo stuff that is still required for the Vidalia bundle build can
now be found in the torbrowser repository,
git://git.torproject.org/torbrowser.git.
tor-fw-helper is a command-line tool to wrap and abstract various
firewall port-forwarding tools.
This commit matches the state of Jacob's tor-fw-helper branch as of
23 September 2010.

This removes the Makefile.am from doc/design-paper and replaces it with
a static Makefile. We don't need to call it during the normal Tor build
process, as we don't need its targets normally. Keeping it around in
case we want to rebuild the pdf or ps files later.
This should be a very faithful conversion, preserving as much of the layout
of the old manpage as possible. This wasn't possible for the nt-service
and the DataDirectory/state parts. See a later commit for some small
cleanups.
Tiago Faria helped with the asciidoc conversion, big thanks!
