Re: [tor-dev] GSoC Proposal: Relay Web Status Dashboard

Hi Damian,

I have uploaded yet another revision of my proposal. (Sorry about that!)

Also, while snooping around the dev version of Arm, I've noticed a slight glitch in the _get_controller method of __init__.py in arm.util :

if not stem.util.system.is_running('tor.real'):

raise ValueError(msg('connect.tor_isnt_running'))

(I'm running on osx) My tor process is named tor.real instead, hence, this raises an error stating that tor isn't running although it is.

changing it to

if not stem.util.system.is_running('tor.real'):

solves this problem. Is this an issue (because I'm not using a linux dist of Tor) or am I doing something wrong on my end?

Thanks!

Omg yes, you are right! I realize I was looking at the source for the release version instead :( . Thanks for pointing that out!

I will try to make things clearer in my next revision.

Sounds good!

I will continue working on the proposal. Thanks for taking the time to review it!

Hi Bang. Thanks, this is certainly an improvement! However, I think
there's some confusion about the present state of arm...

Arm's development codebase has already been ported from TorCtl to
Stem. It's a bit of a mess right now from the overhaul, but
functional...

I'm not sure what you mean in this paragraph.

Sounds good.

Actually, this is what I'm hoping for the proposal to cover. ;)

Again, this is already done.

Cheers! -Damian
