Comment (by sysrqb):
Yes, the idea is the flag will be on by default, but operators may opt-
out, if they want. I also agree 0.2.7 is almost certainly too soon, but
the timing of that change can happen when the conditions are correct, no
rush.
This implements a new configuration option, named DirCache. Manpage and
some tests are included. Changes file is slightly amended so it mentions
this new option. A chutney net seemed to operate without any surprises,
and bridges should not be affected and do not seem affected based on
testing. During configuration validation tor explicitly rejects configs
which both disable DirCache and enable a DirPort or BridgeRelay. During
validation tor also emits a warning if its detected the system has less
than 300MB of memory. 300MB is a bit arbitrary. I originally considered
warning at 400MB, but decided to decrease it.
Same a last time, two branches, feature12538_rebased_3 was append-only and
_fixup was squashed/fixed-up. Rebased on master as of ~10 hours ago.
