Yeah, distributing over freenet is probably the best thing, albeit the most work and the least reliable.
So we need: a) a list of CHKs for all the important files, in the source somewhere, kept up to date by an ant target that needs a working node (and an fcp client) b) keep the redistributibles in a fixed place e.g. in the store. c) have a request process start with the node to fetch them if they are not available; it needs to have retries, but only a finite number of them... or maybe it could just keep going on a single thread until it gets the files... d) have a UI for it, to tell the user what it is doing, how far it has got and how to fix the problem without fetching them from freenet. Have the Distribution Servlet UI link to the autodownload UI. > > > -- > Ian Clarke ian@[freenetproject.org|locut.us|cematics.com] > Latest Project http://cematics.com/kanzi > Personal Homepage http://locut.us/ -- Matthew Toseland toad at amphibian.dyndns.org amphibian at users.sourceforge.net Freenet/Coldstore open source hacker.
