[tahoe-dev] Dependency trouble for 1.8.0 upgrade on Win7-64

[Kyle Markley]

Hi list,

Tonight I finally got around to upgrading my grid to 1.8.0 and it went
smoothly everywhere except on Win7-64.  There is something wrong with the
dependency checking there; setup.py build ran cleanly but setup.py test
complained that the installed version of pycryptopp was too old.  (It's
right, it is.)  I reran setup.py build and saw no mention at all of
pycryptopp -- it appears that somehow it wasn't even checked, so the old
version wasn't detected until setup.py test.

Two other systems (WinXP-32 and Vista-32) didn't have any problem with the
upgrade, so this may be a platform-specific problem.


Perhaps relatedly, a few months ago I noticed an attempted -SUMO build
download dependencies from the internet instead of using the local copies.

Is dependency checking in setup.py build known to be a bug-rich area?  Are
there any tests that cover this?
