From 90f6071d8dc0c23c0a2e7713ae1bba5ef44d09c2 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Nick Mathewson Date: Mon, 10 Sep 2012 18:13:28 -0400 Subject: New FallbackDir option to add extra directories for bootstraping This replaces the old FallbackConsensus notion, and should provide a way -- assuming we pick reasonable nodes! -- to give clients suggestions of placs to go to get their first consensus. --- changes/fallback_dirsource | 9 +++++++++ 1 file changed, 9 insertions(+) create mode 100644 changes/fallback_dirsource (limited to 'changes') diff --git a/changes/fallback_dirsource b/changes/fallback_dirsource new file mode 100644 index 000000000..61db81bf2 --- /dev/null +++ b/changes/fallback_dirsource @@ -0,0 +1,9 @@ + o Major features: + - Add a new FallbackDir option to use when we can't use a directory + from the consensus (either because we lack a consensus, or because + they're all down).
