This ticket is a cleanup ticket, after some other changes have been made. I've edited the ticket description to make that clearer.
Understood, thank you for clarifying.
Check for onion service descriptor uploads: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/33609
Someone else is working on the microdescriptor changes at the moment.
Would you like to start working on the onion service descriptor changes?
Sure, it would give me an opportunity to learn about onion descriptors in more detail. I will get started on it.
But first, looking at it more, I think my struggle with understanding what to do stems from my unfamiliarity with the Chutney codebase (first I have heard of the tool was with this project, even though commits date back to 2011). I need to make sure I understand #33609 sufficiently:
- Is the requested functionality only for Chutney or will Tor potentially need any changes to allow for HS verification? - So I know where to begin looking in the codebase, the ticket wants us to "check each onion service log" -- is this referring to Tor log output (such as the instances chutney spawns), chutney-specific logs, or something else entirely? - For "check v2 and v3 onion services" -- check if they've propagated the network? - For "call it an extra 200% 'bootstrap' stage" -- again is this chutney-specific? I only know bootstrapping percentage from Tor notice-level logging and obviously it only goes up to 100%, so I'm wondering if "200%" is a magic number here or something arbitrary.
From this and the parent #33050 it doesn't seem to me like the request is very clear. I am reading proposals 311-313 after sending this message so maybe I can come across some answers to my questions/confusions via the proposals themselves. The proposals will probably give me a better idea of the work I am in for overall, too, and perhaps I should have come across them sooner. I figure it is wise regardless to ask for clarification here and read while I wait for feedback. Efficiency and all :)
