[tor-dev] lifespan of deprecated "ORListenAddress" configuration option

Dear all,

The Tor Manual [1], as of today, says that ORListenAddress option is
deprecated and that same behaviour can be achieved by specifying the
listening address within the ORPort option.

Although using ORPort to specify listening address works as expected
whit tor, it causes arm to crash, see ticket #9269 [2].

You guys know how much relay operators rely on arm to check on their
babies, and having tor operate on a specific IP address may not be such
an uncommon practice.

I don't know how both tor and arm projects coordinate their efforts, if
they do, so the big question is :

Can users expect support for ORListenAddress at least untill
ticket #9269 is closed ?

That would be nice
