As mentioned `previously`_, Tahoe-LAFS moved to Git. In an effort to under pull requests and branches, I decided to test my readings from `Pro Git`_ on some `documentation tickets`_, `#1407`_ and `#1660`_. Brian |brian| will have to let you know how I did. Once I understand Git, I will work to tackle writing the unit test for `#1333`_. .. _`previously`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/~marlowe/TWN20.html .. _`Pro Git`: http://progit.org/book/ .. _`documentation tickets`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/query?status=!closed&keywords=~docs&order=priority .. _`#1407`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1407 .. _`#1660`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1660 .. _`#1333`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1333 - From the tahoe-dev Mailing List =============================== Tahoe-LAFS on Fedora 14 and pfSense (FreeBSD) - --------------------------------------------- Great progress has been made on the mailing to package Tahoe-LAFS for `Fedora 14`_ and `pfSense (FreeBSD)`_. The Fedora test machine is an One Laptop Per Child (OLPC). The Fedora build experiences issues in that it attempts to build the pycryptopp egg from the source tarball. This is a result of Tahoe-LAFS only having a 64 bit buildbot for Fedora. Tahoe-LAFS would love someone to `contribute a buildbot`_ running 32 bit Fedora. On the suggestion of the pfSense forum, Vladimir Arseniev built Tahoe-LAFS on FreeBSD 8.1. If Tahoe-LAFS could be packaged for FreeBSD, this would ease the process of installing/packaging it for pfSense. .. _`Fedora 14`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2012-January/006922.html .. _`pfSense (FreeBSD)`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2012-January/006953.html .. _`contribute a buildbot`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/HowtoContributeABuildbot Looking for the Ultimate Distributed Filesystem - ----------------------------------------------- Roland Mas `blogged`_ about his quest for "the ultimate distributed filesystem. In it, he compared Tahoe-LAFS, `Ceph`_ and `XTreemFS`_. Zooko |zooko| `provided some clarifications`_ in regards to Tahoe-LAFS to Roland. .. _`blogged`: http://roland.entierement.nu/blog/2012/01/15/looking-for-the-ultimate-distributed-filesystem.html .. _`Ceph`: http://ceph.newdream.net/ .. _`XTreemFS`: http://www.xtreemfs.org/ .. _`provided some clarifications`: https://plus.google.com/108313527900507320366/posts/ZrgdgLhV3NG Patches Needing Review of the Week ================================== There is one (1) ticket still needing review for 1.9.2: * `#1648`_: assertion failure 'assert len(self._active_readers) >= self._required_shares' in mutable retrieve There are five (5) tickets still needing review for 1.10: * `#393`_: mutable: implement MDMF * `#1265`_: New Visualizer is insufficiently labelled/documented (plus layout problem) * `#1398`_: make docs/performance.rst more precise and accurate * `#1566`_: if a stored share has a corrupt header, other shares held by that server for the file should still be accessible to clients * `#1569`_: rerecord and review pluggable backends for landing on trunk .. _`#1648`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1648 .. _`#393`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/393 .. _`#1265`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1265 .. _`#1398`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1398 .. _`#1566`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1566 .. _`#1569`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1569 - ---- *The Tahoe-LAFS Weekly News is published once a week by The Tahoe-LAFS* *Software Foundation, President and Treasurer: Peter Secor* |peter| *.
