[tahoe-dev] tahoe windows test error

[Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn]

This is basically both layer 1 (build everything from source) and  
layer 2 (build Tahoe-LAFS using binary dependencies) that we're  
talking about here.  Perhaps they deserve separate wiki pages?  I'll  
leave that up to whoever volunteers to write a good wiki page about  
it.  By the way, layer 3 already exists!  The Windows buildslave  
operated by allmydata.com uses py2exe to build an installer for Tahoe- 
LAFS, on every checkin:

http://allmydata.org/buildbot/builders/windows/builds/1566/steps/ 
installer/logs/stdio

It then uploads the resulting installer:

rsync -av -e /usr/bin/ssh dist/installer/ amduser at dev:/home/amduser/ 
public_html/dist/tahoe/windows/

Ah, the hostname "dev:" means hanford.allmydata.com, an internal  
server of allmydata.com that is accessible only to allmydata.com  
employees:

http://dev.allmydata.com/~amduser/dist/tahoe/windows/

If someone wants to try out the Windows installer for Tahoe-LAFS (I  
personally don't have time right now and my children are always  
borrowing my Windows laptop to play Battle For Wesnoth), then we  
should arrange for those installers to get uploaded to http:// 
allmydata.org .
