commit b5731cdf2ecdf0662de7268d95aa67cfaca92b6e Author: David Goulet <dgoulet@torproject.org> Date: Wed Sep 26 08:36:08 2018 -0400 mainloop: Set client role if ControlPort is set It turns out that if _only_ the ControlPort is set and nothing else, tor would simply not bootstrap and thus not start properly. Commit 67a41b63063370c2 removed that requirement for tor to be considered a "client". Unfortunately, this made the mainloop enable basically nothing if only the ControlPort is set in the torrc. This commit now makes it that we also consider the ControlPort when deciding if we are a Client or not. It does not revert 67a41b63063370c2 meaning options_any_client_port_set() stays the same, not looking at the control port. Fixes #27849.
