[tahoe-dev] Python beginner trying to build fordevelopmenttesting

[Vanderlinden, Chris]

Thank you for clearing that up, makes a lot more sense now.

So the goal on my end seems to be as such:

Install Python
Install all dependencies for tahoe
Install / build tahoe-lafs

Deploy tahoe-lafs introducer + server nodes

Build tahoe-w32-client (if so desired)
Test!

(documenting along the way of course)

Thanks again, gives me some things to do during any down time tomorrow.

Chris

That software is Tahoe-LAFS, v1.5.0.  It works fine on Windows (if  
you can get it built).  It behaves the same way as it does on all  
other platforms: you can create a gateway node using the "tahoe  
create-client" command, use the command-line tools such as "tahoe cp"  
and "tahoe backup", use the WUI, etc.  To do so, start here: http:// 
allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/install.html (and mentally  
prepare yourself to help us out with tickets like #756 and #781).

The other thing that Peter mentioned is "Tahoe-W32-Client": http:// 
allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-w32-client/wiki

Tahoe-W32-Client is an application that requires Tahoe-LAFS, and adds  
to it a Virtual Drive which is integrated into the Windows  
filesystem, so that you can drag and drop files into and out of Tahoe- 
LAFS using your Windows file explorer or your cmd.exe commands such  
as "cp" and "move".  Tahoe-W32-Client also comes with a GUI installer  
so that you can have the pleasure of looking at pretty colored  
windows and buttons while installing.

These facts ought to be wiki-ed up...  Maybe here: http:// 
allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-w32-client/wiki and http://allmydata.org/ 
trac/tahoe/wiki/RelatedProjects

manually installed, setuptools still doesn't detect it
