doc/TODO and doc/spec/README were placeholders to tell people where to
look for the real TODO and README stuff -- we replaced them years ago,
though.
authority-policy, v3-authority-howto, and torel-design.txt belong in
torspec. I'm putting them in attic there since I think they may be in
large part obsolete, but someone can rescue them if they're not.
translations.txt is outdated, and refers to lots of programs other
than Tor. We have much better translation resources on the website
now.
tor-win32-mingw-creation.txt is pending review of a revised version
for 0.2.5 (see ticket #4520), but there's no reason to ship this one
while we're waiting for an accurate version.
the tor-rpm-creation.txt isn't obsolete AFAIK, but it belongs in
doc/contrib if anywhere.
Resolves bug #8965.
This is a reprise of the fix in bdff7e3299d78; 6905c1f6 reintroduced
that bug. Briefly: windows doesn't seem to like deleting a mapped
file. I tried adding the PROT_SHARED_DELETE flag to the createfile
all, but that didn't actually fix this issue. Fortunately, the unit
test I added in 4f4fc63fea should
prevent us from making this particular screw-up again.
This patch also tries to limit the crash potential of a failure to
write by a little bit, although it could do a better job of retaining
microdescriptor bodies.
Fix for bug 8822, bugfix on 0.2.4.12-alpha.
This reverts commit 884a0e269c.
I'm reverting this because it doesn't actually make the problem go
away. It appears that instead we need to do unmap-then-replace.
A comment by rransom on #8795 taken together with a comment by doorss
recorded on #2077 suggest that *every* attempt to replace the md cache
will fail on Vista/Win7 if we don't have the FILE_SHARE_DELETE flag
passed to CreateFile, and if we try to replace the file ourselves
before unmapping it. I'm adding the FILE_SHARE_DELETE, since that's
this simplest fix. Broken indexers (the favored #2077 hypothesis)
could still cause trouble here, but at least this patch should make us
stop stepping on our own feet.
Likely fix for #2077 and its numerous duplicates. Bugfix on
0.2.2.6-alpha, which first had a microdescriptor cache that would get
replaced before remapping it.
Is it possible that *every* attempt to replace the microdesc cache on
windows 7 is going to fail because of our lack of FILE_SHARE_DELETE
while opening the file? If so, this test will catch #2077 and let us
know when it's fixed.
There's an assertion failure that can occur if a connection has
optimistic data waiting, and then the connect() call returns 0 on the
first attempt (rather than -1 and EINPROGRESS). That latter behavior
from connect() appears to be an (Open?)BSDism when dealing with remote
addresses in some cases. (At least, I've only seen it reported with
the BSDs under libevent, even when the address was 127.0.0.1. And
we've only seen this problem in Tor with OpenBSD.)
Fixes bug 9017; bugfix on 0.2.3.1-alpha, which first introduced
optimistic data. (Although you could also argue that the commented-out
connection_start_writing in 155c9b80 back in 2002 is the real source
of the issue.)
