[tahoe-dev] end of compatibility with Twisted 2.4?

[zooko]

Folks:

I noticed today that, although Tahoe is marked as requiring Twisted  
 >= 2.4.0 in _auto_deps.py [1], none of our buildslaves were actually  
running Twisted 2.4.  Many of them (in fact, most of them) are  
running Twisted 2.5.0, and one is running 8.0.1, one is running  
8.something else, and one is running current Twisted trunk HEAD.

So I downgraded that last one -- my own workstation -- to Twisted 2.4  
and I learned that the Tahoe unit tests don't currently pass with  
Twisted 2.4.

My question is: does someone out there particularly want to use Tahoe  
with Twisted 2.4, so we should configure a buildbot to permanently  
run that version and we should fix whatever the current  
incompatibilities are?

Or does nobody care about Twisted 2.4 and we should change  
_auto_deps.py to say that Tahoe requires Twisted >= 2.5.0?

Thanks!

Regards,

Zooko
