  • Ticket #1452 – Description

    v5 v9  
    33I personally find it a bit dubious if we specify that Tahoe-LAFS requires a version of {{{Package X}}} greater than or equal to {{{Version N}}}, if we don't have any buildbots that have {{{Version N}}} installed. To me that sounds like we are claiming that Tahoe-LAFS will work with {{{Version N}}} of {{{Package X}}}, but making that claim without reproducible evidence that it is true. On the other hand we can just rely on the absence of any bug reports from the field which can be traced to a bug or incompatibility in some version of one of our dependencies.

    5 One possible future improvement would be to automate the testing of Tahoe-LAFS combined with different versions of dependencies. The exocet tool looks like it might facilitate that sort of work: [http://washort.twistedmatrix.com/2011/03/exocet-second-look.html Exocet: A Second Look]
