Dear tor-devs, is anyone here up for a coding task that could help us research performance improvements of the N23 design more? The situation is that we already have a branch (n23-5 in arma's public repository), but it's based on 0.2.4.3-alpha-dev and needs to be rebased to current master. In theory, it's as simple as the following steps: $ git clone https://git.torproject.org/tor.git $ cd tor/ $ git remote add arma https://git.torproject.org/arma/tor.git $ git fetch arma $ git checkout -b n23-5 arma/n23-5 $ git fetch origin $ git rebase origin/master (clean up the mess) $ git add $ git commit $ git rebase --continue (back to clean-up-the-mess step until git is happy) $ git push public n23-5 Bonus points if you make sure the branch compiles with gcc warnings enabled, appeases make check-spaces, and runs peacefully in a private Chutney network. Unfortunately, the n23-5 branch touches a few places in the tor code that have been refactored in current master, including Andrea's connection/channel rewrite. It might be necessary to dive into the channel thing in order to get this rebase right. Once we have a refactored n23-5 branch, I'll try to simulate it in Shadow. For a tiny bit of context, this is for our sponsor F item 13: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/sponsors/SponsorF/Year3 I'm asking here, because the usual suspects are already overloaded with other stuff. As usual, I guess. Thanks, Karsten
