Zooko et al,
My system is back up after upgrading the OS from OpenBSD 4.6 to 4.8.
I've more-or-less gotten the buildslaves running again, but I could use
some help there.
(A) My buildslave name contains 'openbsd46'; I feel like this should be
updated, but I'm nervous about breaking something. How is this done
correctly?
(B) There are some errors running the build and I suspect they're
related to installation snafus and missing packages. I'd appreciate
some guidance here on what exactly is wrong.
It's worth mentioning that I had a "fun" upgrade. I made a mistake and
inadvertently blew away my /home partition. (I naively thought that
telling the installer which partition would become /home did *not* imply
that I wanted the partition to be formatted during the install!) I'm
restoring my data from a tahoe backup right now, courtesy the undamaged
portion of my grid.
The only thing really bothering me right now is tahoe's behavior with
symlinks. It skips them. I didn't have any kind of separate symlink
backup, so I've lost them all. That's a drag, because I had some pretty
labor-intensive piles of symlinks. I wish tahoe would cover symlinks by
recording the link (not the file pointed to) instead of skipping it.
Also, as an FYI, when doing a fresh install of tahoe (1.8.0) on this
otherwise-clean system, I noticed that "python setup.py install"
installed only tahoe itself. It did not install any dependencies, and
it did not fail because the dependencies were absent. I had to install
all of the dependencies manually. Of course "python setup.py build"
fetched and built the dependencies, but I couldn't figure out how to
install them from the source tree to /usr/local/lib. When I first
started tinkering with tahoe a few versions ago, the install would also
ensure the dependencies were installed. If this is all fixed in 1.8.1,
ignore this complaint.
