It looks like yes, we removed it: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/tor/-/issues/29434 https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-relays/2019-February/016995.html So it definitely counts as deprecated, in the sense that nobody maintained it for a long time and then somebody deleted it. :) But that said, I bet it would still work, or at the very least, it would be a good set of hints for how to write a new one. If you do write an updated one, please share it here. You can find a copy in earlier git branches, e.g.: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/plain/contrib/operator-tools/linux-tor-prio.sh?h=maint-0.3.5 Hope this helps! --Roger _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
