Comment (by teor):
Here is the specification for the authority list:
https://github.com/teor2345/torspec/blob/dir-list/dir-list-spec.txt#L254
The data should be the same as the data in this list:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/or/config.c#n1079
But it will end up looking a bit like this list:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/src/or/fallback_dirs.inc#n27
And we need to get the data from the current Tor consensus using stem, so
it's easy to update when it changes:
https://stem.torproject.org/api/descriptor/remote.html#stem.descriptor.remote.get_consensus
It's ok to just get the fields right in a first draft, and then work out
the exact order and formatting later.
Replying to [ticket:24851 teor]:
> We need to make sure we also:
> * apply address overrides
> * make sure the details match the current list
The address overrides will become obvious when we check against the
current list.
> * check that all supported Tor versions can parse the list (existing
unit tests)
We can do this by replacing src/or/auth_dirs.inc with the generated list,
then running Tor's "make check".
This will only work once #24854 is completed.
