LAFS Nuts And Bolts Party, 2014-08-12<br>
=====================================<br>
<br>
in attendance: Zooko (scribe), Meskio (IRC), Daira, Zancas, Nathan,<br>
dstufft (IRC), Riastradh (IRC), cypher (IRC)<br>
<br>
We're reviewing the second version of meskio's branch<br>
(<<a href="https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/pull/99" target="_blank">https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/pull/99</a>>) for<br>
(<<a href="https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2045" target="_blank">https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2045</a>>).<br>
<br>
We made a lot of progress on<br>
(<<a href="https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2235" target="_blank">https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2235</a>>)! See<br>
<<a href="https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/pull/103" target="_blank">https://github.com/tahoe-lafs/tahoe-lafs/pull/103</a>>.<br>
<br>
We need more and better-oiled Windows buildbots. Currently<br>
(<<a href="https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-tahoe-lafs/waterfall?show_events=true" target="_blank">https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-tahoe-lafs/waterfall?show_events=true</a>>)<br>
we have Dcoder's "Win7-64 py2.6" and Marcus's "Cygwin WinXP", but they<br>
are usually not turned on and connected to the buildmaster. Also,<br>
Zooko says WinXP is obsolete and we should probably not try to support<br>
it at all. Daira disagrees and wants to continue supporting WinXP.<br>
<br>
Zooko asked Daira (who is one of the administrators of the<br>
<a href="https://Tahoe-LAFS.org" target="_blank">https://Tahoe-LAFS.org</a> mailing lists) to make a new mailing list for<br>
buildbot operators.<br>
<br>
Daira wrote a test called "test_create_long_filename" in test_util.py<br>
that exercises (<<a href="https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2235" target="_blank">https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2235</a>>).<br>
<br>
Zooko wrote several iterations of new entry-level documentation<br>
explaining the `tahoe backup` command, iterating with Riastradh and<br>
cypher: <a href="https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2280" target="_blank">https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2280</a><br>
<br>
Meskio commented that `tahoe backup` was too slow, for him, because he<br>
had many small files and it take a bit of time for each file, and he<br>
switched duplicity↔Tahoe (using duplicity's builtin support for a<br>
Tahoe backend, *not* using FUSE and/or SFTP) and it worked well.<br>
<br>
We worked on some packaging/build problems, with dstufft's help:<br>
* <a href="https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2249" target="_blank">https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2249</a><br>
* <a href="https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2283" target="_blank">https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2283</a><br>
<br>
Zooko is really glad that as part of his job at LeastAuthority.com, he<br>
gets to take a break from “CEO stuff” once a week and muck about with<br>
Python packaging bugs and Tahoe documentation tweaks. ☺<br>
