Implement proposal 315: "Updating the list of fields required in directory documents"
Proposal 315 describes a general policy for making once-optional fields in directory documents mandatory.
Here are the steps I mean to take to implement it:
-
Review all the fields in dir-spec.txt to see whether the list of fields to be made required in prop315 is in fact accurate -
Review to see whether the list of fields is complete. -
Verify that all (or nearly all) of the descriptors in today's network have all the required fields. -
Mark each of the fields as required in src/features/dirparse
. (Since there are no onion-service fields on the list, this can be done in one step.) -
Simplify code in src/features/dirparse
that treated these fields as optional. -
Update unit tests to pass when these fields are required. -
Update dir-spec.txt to mark the fields as required as of the version that first required them. -
Mark hidden-service-dir
as assumed-present.
