Hi, I am one of the volunteer from Whonix project, a third party application. We want to use tor and modify it to parse the folder /etc/tor.d/ for configuration files. Please take a look at https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8291 What is the process to get it approved and check in the file. I have modified the file src/or/config.c Who should I talk to? Thanks
Hi! I've made some design comments on that ticket.
To get new features merged, make sure that it's in the form of a patch or a branch that can be merged into the current Tor git master branch (where new features are added), and then either attach the patch on the ticket, or add a link to the patch or the branch in a comment.
The doc/HACKING file[1] in git master needs some editing, but it also has some good advice on what a patch needs and what format it should have in the "Coding Conventions" section.
