Log message:
Fix py-mock dependency pattern.
   2011-02-01 03:05:18 by Greg Troxel | Files touched by this commit (3)
Log message:
Update to 1.8.2.

Packaging changes:
  Use gmake and test TEST_TARGET, so make test runs make check.
  Add dependency on py-sqlite2 for "tahoe backup".
  Add py-mock dependency because tests are now runnable by the user.
  Withdraw fixing of distfiles modes; this one is fine.

* Release 1.8.2 (2011-01-30)

** Compatibility and Dependencies

 - Tahoe is now compatible with Twisted-10.2 (released last month), as well
   as with earlier versions. The previous Tahoe-1.8.1 release failed to run
   against Twisted-10.2, raising an AttributeError on
   StreamServerEndpointService (#1286)
 - Tahoe now depends upon the "mock" testing library, and the foolscap
   dependency was raised to 0.6.1 . It no longer requires pywin32 (which
   was used only on windows). Future developers should note that
   reactor.spawnProcess and derivatives may no longer be used inside
   Tahoe code.

** Other Changes

 - the default reserved_space value for new storage nodes is 1 GB (#1208)
 - documentation is now in reStructuredText (.rst) format
 - "tahoe cp" should now handle non-ASCII filenames
 - the unmaintained Mac/Windows GUI applications have been removed (#1282)
 - tahoe processes should appear in top and ps as "tahoe", not \ 
"python",
   on some unix platforms. (#174)
 - "tahoe debug trial" can be used to run the test suite (#1296)
 - the SFTP frontend now reports unknown sizes as "0" instead of \ 
"?",
   to improve compatibility with clients like FileZilla (#1337)
 - "tahoe --version" should now report correct values in situations where
   1.8.1 might have been wrong (#1287)

Log message:
* Release 1.8.1 (2010-10-28)

** Bugfixes and Improvements

 - Allow the repairer to improve the health of a file by uploading
   some shares, even if it cannot achieve the configured happiness
   threshold. This fixes a regression introduced between v1.7.1 and
   v1.8.0. (#1212)
 - Fix a memory leak in the ResponseCache which is used during mutable
   file/directory operations. (#1045)
 - Fix a regression and add a performance improvement in the downloader.
   This issue caused repair to fail in some special cases. (#1223)
 - Fix a bug that caused 'tahoe cp' to fail for a grid-to-grid copy
   involving a non-ASCII filename. (#1224)
 - Fix a rarely-encountered bug involving printing large strings to
   the console on Windows. (#1232)
 - Perform ~ expansion in the --exclude-from filename argument to
   'tahoe backup'. (#1241)
 - The CLI's 'tahoe mv' and 'tahoe ln' commands previously would try
   to use an HTTP proxy if the HTTP_PROXY environment variable was set.
   These now always connect directly to the WAPI, thus avoiding giving
   caps to the HTTP proxy (and also avoiding failures in the case that
   the proxy is failing or requires authentication). (#1253)
 - The CLI now correctly reports failure in the case that 'tahoe mv'
   fails to unlink the file from its old location. (#1255)
 - 'tahoe start' now gives a more positive indication that the node
   has started. (#71)
 - The arguments seen by 'ps' or other tools for node processes are
   now more useful (in particular, they include the path of the
   'tahoe' script, rather than an obscure tool named 'twistd'). (#174)

** Removed Features

 - The tahoe start/stop/restart and node creation commands no longer
   accept the -m or --multiple option, for consistency between platforms.
   (#1262)

** Packaging

 - We now host binary packages so that users on certain operating systems
   can install without having a compiler.
   \ 
<http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/deps/tahoe-lafs-dep-eggs/README.html>
 - Use a newer version of a dependency if needed, even if an older
   version is installed. This would previously cause a VersionConflict
   error. (#1190)
 - Use a precompiled binary of a dependency if one with a sufficiently
   high version number is available, instead of attempting to compile
   the dependency from source, even if the source version has a higher
   version number. (#1233)

** Documentation

 - All current documentation in .txt format has been converted to
   .rst format. (#1225)
 - Added docs/backdoors.rst declaring that we won't add backdoors to
   Tahoe-LAFS, or add anything to facilitate government access to data.
   (#1216)
   2010-09-24 20:20:59 by Greg Troxel | Files touched by this commit (3)
Log message:
Update to 1.8.0.

* Release 1.8.0 (2010-09-23)

** New Features

 - A completely new downloader which improves performance and
   robustness of immutable-file downloads. It uses the fastest K
   servers to download the data in K-way parallel. It automatically
   fails over to alternate servers if servers fail in mid-download. It
   allows seeking to arbitrary locations in the file (the previous
   downloader which would only read the entire file sequentially from
   beginning to end). It minimizes unnecessary round trips and
   unnecessary bytes transferred to improve performance. It sends
   requests to fewer servers to reduce the load on servers (the
   previous one would send a small request to every server for every
   download) (#287, #288, #448, #798, #800, #990, #1170, #1191)

 - Non-ASCII command-line arguments and non-ASCII outputs now work on
   Windows. In addition, the command-line tool now works on 64-bit
   Windows. (#1074)

** Bugfixes and Improvements

 - Document and clean up the command-line options for specifying the
   node's base directory. (#188, #706, #715, #772, #1108)
 - The default node directory for Windows is ".tahoe" in the user's
   home directory, the same as on other platforms. (#890)
 - Fix a case in which full cap URIs could be logged. (#685, #1155)
 - Fix bug in WUI in Python 2.5 when the system clock is set back to
   1969. Now you can use Tahoe-LAFS with Python 2.5 and set your
   system clock to 1969 and still use the WUI. (#1055)
 - Many improvements in code organization, tests, logging,
   documentation, and packaging. (#983, #1074, #1108, #1127, #1129,
   #1131, #1166, #1175)

Log message:
Fix yet another package with bogus dependencies.
   2010-07-24 21:19:06 by Greg Troxel | Files touched by this commit (1)
Log message:
Permissions fix: chmod +r all the distfile contents, because they are
600 and this results in installed python files that non-root users
cannot access.
   2010-07-24 20:14:27 by Greg Troxel | Files touched by this commit (4) | Imported package
Log message:
Import tahoe-lafs-1.7.1 as filesystems/tahoe-lafs.

Tahoe-LAFS is a Free Software/Open Source decentralized data store.
It distributes your filesystem across multiple servers, and even if
some of the servers fail or are taken over by an attacker, the entire
filesystem continues to work correctly and to preserve your privacy
and security.
