I am thinking that if the “parsing everything bug” is not fixed by the time Whonix 14 is released, should we not enable torrc.d feature by default but simply give users a sense it works? Specifically:
In the /etc/tor/torrc:
%include /etc/torrc.d/95_whonix.conf
In the /etc/torrc.d/95_whonix.conf:
%include /usr/local/etc/torrc.d/40_anon_connection_wizard.conf
%include /usr/local/etc/torrc.d/50_user.conf
We may also need to give extra parameter to Tor to make it stop complaining missing torrc files.
I do not like this workaround since it is too hacky. Another way needs us to teach users to keep their torrc.d directory clean and make sure it only contains torrc files. Maybe ship a script for users to do this?
