The rate-limitter gets hit on connect, due to historical gossip messages
being exchanged. This results in a high initial burst that needs to be
accounted for.
Relay now has three values: "always", "never" and "auto".
The first two operate like the previous `true`/`false`. The
new (default) value turns relaying on for nodes with public (external)
addresses and off for nodes without. This should reduce redundant traffic on
the network, that was causing the rate limiters to trigger.
With the increase in traffic on the network after launch, the old
defaults don't make sense anymore.
Longer term, we should look into throttling outgoing messages as well,
prioritizing original messages over relayed messages.
This makes the default policy `block` with scope `all`. The good thing
about this is that you don't have to manage individual nodes in the
beginning. You simply seed the repos you want, and everything is
followed within those repos. This matches user expectations, as `rad
seed` does what you expect it to do.
For open-policy seed nodes, it also means that simply changing `block`
to `allow` from the default config is all you need.
This leaves the non-default `followed` scope as a more "advanced"
setting, since it is much more cumbersome: it forces you to follow a
user before you can see their issues/patches, which is not something
most users expect coming from old-shcool forges.
When using `network: "test"`, we shouldn't default to any public seed
node. This change makes sure that the "preferredSeeds" configuration var
is only given a value when `network` is `main`.
Introduce pinned repositories to the `profile::Config`, i.e.
`config.json`.
This is used for pinning repositories in the httpd `/projects` handle.
To allow returning all repositories, an `all` query parameter is also
included.
This is non-backwards compatible change, since we introduce the `show`
query parameter which, if not supplied, will default to `pinned`.
