pretty cool :) > If you have the need to run Tor experiments, or are just interested in the > Software, please try it out. We would love any feedback or comments or > suggestions if you have them! i've got more, but first off: - why secondary dependencies not in git and not opt-in? e.g. downloading http://shadow.cs.umn.edu/downloads/shadow-resources.tar.gz - if you run fully offline build systems this default behavior breaks builds. - what about hw acceleration in performance estimates? e.g. openssl dynamic engines in virtual CPU processing. - is there a shadow-dev in addition to shadow-support? :) > We are continuously working on improving the simulator, including more > efficient use of multiple CPU cores and a command-line interface to help > with installing Shadow and some of its dependencies. https://github.com/shadow/shadow-cli also handy. thanks! _______________________________________________ tor-dev mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-dev
