[tahoe-dev] Hello / DroboFs

[Zooko Wilcox-O'Hearn]

Hi Mogwa:

Cool project! I would like to learn more about how it works for you.

Tahoe-LAFS itself doesn't have any C/C++, assembly, or other
non-Python code in it, but it depends on several packages that do,
including pycryptopp and zfec. François Deppierraz contributes a
buildbot that builds pycryptopp, zfec, and tahoe-lafs on a little
embedded ARM machine, see:

https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-pycryptopp/builders/francois-ts109-armv5tel%20syslib
https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-zfec/builders/francois-ts109-armv5tel
https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-tahoe-lafs/builders/Francois%20lenny-armv5tel

Here is the description of the machine that François attached to it
(appended below):

https://tahoe-lafs.org/buildbot-tahoe-lafs/buildslaves/francois-ts109-armv5tel

And here is the output from querying various versions (by running
"python misc/build_helpers/show-tool-versions.py"):

Finally, it would really help for everyone who wants to experiment
with Tahoe-LAFS on ARM systems if a volunteer would build these six
binary Python packages on their ARM system and share the resulting
.egg files with us:
