{{{
- *auth |= HIDSERV_AUTHORITY;
+ log_warn(LD_CONFIG,
+ "PublishServerDescriptor hidserv is obsolete. See "
+ "PublishHidServDescriptors.");
}}}
When you print your warning here, you will likely get bitten by the bug
where the logs aren't set up while parsing the config. So if the user has
the default stdout notice log we give him, he'll see the warning. But if
this Tor is being run in some other way (started in background, launched
by controller, etc) this log_warn may be silent.
I wonder what documentation we actually recommended using
PublishServerDescriptor in this way.
I'm tempted to fail the Tor, rather than just warn, so the user will
notice and fix it.
