Folks: I never got around to sending my Weekly Dev Chat report for last week, so here is last week's followed by this week's.
Tahoe-LAFS Weekly Dev Chat, 2013-07-09 in attendance: Andrew, Brian, Daira, Leif, Amber, Mark, Tariq, Zancas, Zooko (scribe) LeastAuthority.com is about to announce a secure backup service next week. Customers (especially European customers) might ask for Europe-based servers instead of USA-based servers. In Zooko's opinion, this would not help protect those customers from NSA spying. Therefore, it is a conundrum for Zooko about how to respond to such requests: sell them what they want, or try to explain to them why in his opinion what they want probably doesn't actually help them? Andrew asked: when will we release Tahoe-LAFS v1.11? The Milestone on the trac is marked as "end of August". It is *possible* but unlikely that we will actually be ready then. Zooko hopes that he, Daira, Zancas, and Leif will be way too busy supporting thousands of new LeastAuthority.com customers! Brian asked: what is the headlining new change in Tahoe-LAFS v1.11? Daira said that for starters we definitely need to ship the fix for immutable server selection that Mark has done (#1382). https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1382# immutable peer selection refactoring and enhancements We then depth-first recursed into the topic of the immutable server selection. We explained to Brian that Mark has already fixed it but there is a test that spuriously went red. We then depth-first recursed into fixing that unit test (which Brian is the author of and was best equipped to help Mark debug it). We'd like to find a replacement for Google Hangouts for video conferencing. Jitsi? Some future invention based on WebRTC? * find ticket about upload not stalling when server stalls https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1394# upload should not wait for all servers to respond Tahoe-LAFS Weekly Dev Chat, 2013-07-16 in attendance: Oleksandr, Zooko (scribe), Mark, Daira, Brian Brian helped Mark fix the test that broke when Mark fixed #1382. Daira fixed ticket #2022. Zooko opened #2023. Brian will open a new ticket to describe the downloader bug discovered by fixing the test that was broken by fixing #1382. ☺ https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1382# immutable peer selection refactoring and enhancements https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2022# Add *.DS_Store to .gitignore https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2023# regression coincident with iputil fixes, on FreeBSD and Slackware _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list tahoe-dev@tahoe-lafs.org https://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
