Add scripts to repo #39

Closed ineiti closed 3 years ago

ineiti commented 3 years ago

For the sideloading of the directory-information, I propose we add two scripts:

create-keypair.py for creation of a new keypair and a certificate
create-dirinfo.py to create the consensus and microdescriptor file

and the most important of all

README.md explaining how to use these files, linked from the main README.md

laurent-girod commented 3 years ago

Tor already provide a command to generate keypairs and certificate, tor-gencert, which can also be used to generate identity keys for authorities. Should I create a python script to wrap around it with the right parameters?

ineiti commented 3 years ago

I merged the proposed Makefile into main, so that I can reference it in the other READMEs, too.

But if you can either give a short recap of how to use tor-gencert either here or in the issue #41

laurent-girod commented 3 years ago

The gen_fresh_dirinfo.py script can be used to generate the directory authority's keys and certificate now that #56 have been merged into main.
