Comment (by karsten): Okay, I ''finally'' got around to trying a local import with CollecTor. At least importing a small sample of these bandwidth files worked okay. However, I'm wondering if we need to make an enhancement before import these bandwidth files into CollecTor. Consider these subdirectories in Tom's tarball: {{{ 24G bastet 8.2G faravahar 22G gabelmoo 29G maatuska 2.2G maatuska-21697 1.9G maatuska-fastly 616M maatuska-nodns 58M maatuska-nofasthop 3.5G maatuska-vanilla 26G moria1 }}} As of now, when we import these files into CollecTor we're losing meta data like ''source'' and human-readable ''annotations'' like whether DNS was broken or which bandwidth file server was used. We could provide those annotations via some timeline (e.g., by saying when maatuska switched to Fastly), but there's no good way to retain source information in these files. Note that we're facing the same issue with current bandwidth files. We just said that they'll be referenced from votes which provides source information indirectly. Also note that we briefly discussed including source information in the file name. But even if we do that, we should consider adding something to the file contents, most likely as an annotation in order to keep the digest unchanged. We should not put relevant information ''only'' in the file name. Hmmm. -- Ticket URL: <https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/30219#comment:3> Tor Bug Tracker & Wiki <https://trac.torproject.org/> The Tor Project: anonymity online
