Comment (by iwakeh):

 Replying to [comment:40 karsten]:
 > ...
 >  - Should we hold back the four `*Sync*` options until there's actual
 support for syncing?  I don't feel strongly about this, because we're
 going to add syncing support really soon.  But just in case you say "oh
 wow, I totally forgot to take them out, let me fix that!", okay.  Either
 way works for me.

 I extended the commit comment (see link below).

 >
 >  - The new options `RelayLocalOrigins` and `BridgeLocalOrigins` each
 only accept a single path.  Should we rename them to singular then?
 Again, don't feel strongly.

 Thought about that , too, but finally decided to keep it a *Options.

 >
 >  - The new option `BridgeSources` does not support `Remote` as stated in
 the comment of `collector.properties`.

 Corrected in
 [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/iwakeh/collector.git/commit/?h=task-18910
 -first-sync-2&id=02681a4d9722bfb21516693366be194c90910e5b here] (amended).

 >
 >  - Totally unrelated to this commit: should we kill the updateindex
 module and instead have an `IndexManager` with a `synchronized update()`
 method that gets called at the end of each module?  Happy to move this to
 another ticket, but it just came to mind while looking at all the
 options...

 Currently, there is also the create tars script changing the file
 structure.  This should become java code.  => new ticket?
 Index-update could then be changed from being a module into a feature of
 module runs.  => second ticket?
