There are three reasons we use a cached_dir_t to hold a consensus:
1. to serve that consensus to a client
2. to apply a consensus diff to an existing consensus
3. to send the consensus to a controller.
But case 1 is dircache-only. Case 2 and case 3 both fall back to
networkstatus_read_cached_consensus(). So there's no reason for us
to store this as a client. Avoiding this saves about 23% of our RAM
usage, according to our experiments last month.
This is, semantically, a partial revert of e5c608e535.
Fixes bug 27247; bugfix on 0.3.0.1-alpha.
Tor protects your privacy on the internet by hiding the connection
between your Internet address and the services you use. We believe Tor
is reasonably secure, but please ensure you read the instructions and
configure it properly.
To build Tor from source:
./configure && make && make install
To build Tor from a just-cloned git repository:
