Comment (by zooko):
Review:
I haven't thought through davidsarah's assertion in comment:26 that this
patch won't make it harder to do what I want (clients listen for
connections from servers by default, and anonymous-mode is an explicit
flag instead of setting {{{location=''}}}) in the future, but I'll take
their word for it.
I find it very confusing that {{{location=''}}} in the {{{tahoe.cfg}}}
file means "Emit only 127.0.0.1" but {{{location=''}}} in
[source:src/allmydata/node.py]'s {{{_setup_tub()}}} means "Discover all
local IP addresses and emit them.". This is on top of my slight confusion
about the fact that {{{location=None}}} in {{{tahoe.cfg}}} has a different
meaning from {{{location=''}}}. Or wait -- does it? Is one of them the
same as not having a {{{location}}} entry at all?
Off I go to search for answers in the docs in
attachment:cleanup-1010.dpatch. But the fact that I experience this much
confusion after glancing at a few lines of the code and the config file is
a bad sign.
