torrc.d is comming

[iry]

I find that Tor will also parse filename~, which is a backup created by some editor. Problem with that is it is too hard to realize for a user. Users think they have changed the Tor settings but actually not, they may result in using the old settings.

Shall I do a proposal to TPO to strictly parse .torrc files only?

@Patrick

Yes, please. That seems more consistent. They also wouldn’t want to

parse files ending ‘.dpkg-old’ (not uncommon…).
