This removes some redundant repeated lines.
Ticket 24681 will maintain the current fallback weights by changing
Tor's default fallback weight to 10.
Implements ticket 24679.
Increase the fallback stability requirement to 30 days.
When this was at 7 days, we chose far too many unstable fallbacks.
Decrease the guard flag requirement to 0.8.
When this was at 0.9, we lost too many fallbacks due to version upgrades.
(The running and v2dir flags ensure DirPorts are available to clients.)
Partial fixes to #20913.
Sometimes, the fallback generation script doesn't add attributes to the
fallbacks in the list. If this happens, log an error, and avoid selecting
that fallback.
This is a rare issue: it should not change selection behaviour.
Fixes issue #20945.
Exclude relays that have been down for 1 or more days from the fallback
candidate list.
When a relay operator has multiple relays, this prioritises relays that are
up over relays that are down.
Fixes issue #20926.
7 days is a tradeoff between the expected time between major Tor releases,
which is 6 months, and the number of relays with enough stability.
Relays whose OnionOO stability timer is reset on restart by bug #18050
should upgrade to Tor 0.2.8.7 or later, which has a fix for this issue.
Closes ticket #20880; maintains short-term fix in e220214 in tor-0.2.8.2-alpha.
If we manually remove fallbacks in C by adding '/*' and '*/' on separate
lines, stem still parses them as being present, because it only looks at
the start of a line.
Add a comment to this effect in the generated source code.
Log a notice just before the script is about to perform a
potentially time-consuming operation
Clarify the warning when py2-ipaddress isn't found
Make log levels more consistent
No behavioural change (just logging)
As well as the existing reports of IPv6 address additions or removals,
the script now warns when keys change but IPv4:ORPort or
IPv6:IPv6ORPort remain the same.
Existing checks for other whitelist detail changes have also
been re-worded and upgraded to warnings.
This makes it easier for changes to be identified so operators can
be contacted to confirm whether the change is stable.
Use IP address, effective family, and contact info to
discover and limit fallbacks to one per operator.
Also analyse netblock, ports, IP version, and Exit flag,
and print the results. Don't exclude any fallbacks from
the list because of netblocks, ports, IP version, or
Exit flag.
But as advertised bandwidth is controlled by relays,
use consensus weight and median weight to bandwidth ratio
to approximate measured bandwidth.
Includes minor comment changes and parameter reordering.
Previously, we would cut the list down to 100 fallbacks,
then check if they could serve a consensus, and comment
them out if they couldn't.
This would leave us with fewer than 100 active fallbacks.
Now, we stop when there are 100 active fallbacks.
Also count fallbacks with identical contact info.
Also fix minor logging issues.
Give each fallback a set weight of 10.0 for client selection.
Fallbacks must have at least 3000 consensus weight.
This is (nominally) 100 times the expected extra load of
20 kilobytes per second (50 GB per month).
Fixes issue #17905.
Improve the download test:
* Allow IPv4 DirPort checks to be turned off.
* Add a timeout to stem's consensus download.
* Actually check for download errors, rather than ignoring them.
* Simplify the timeout and download error checking logic.
Tweak whitelist/blacklist checks to be more robust.
Improve logging, make it warn by default.
Cleanse fallback comments more thoroughly:
* non-printables (yes, ContactInfo can have these)
* // comments (don't rely on newlines to prevent // */ escapes)
Allow fallback directories which have been stable for 7 days
to work around #18050, which causes relays to submit descriptors
with 0 DirPorts when restarted. (Particularly during Tor version
upgrades.)
Ignore low fallback directory count in alpha builds.
Set the target count to 50.
