[tahoe-dev] status of v1.8.1 -- please adopt an operating system

[Paul Grunwald]

I'm still running into these bugs in both python 2.6 and 2.7 on Windows 7,
64-bit:

I'd love to help if I can get through them.

Dear everyone:

Ten days ago I asked people to test the release candidate for v1.8.1.
We've seen some useful feedback on the mailing list and things are looking
good for the v1.8.1 codebase to be nice and stable.

One of the goals for this release is to let people on more platforms more
easily set up Tahoe-LAFS. (Problems with the setup process are probably the
number one complaint mentioned on the mailing list and issue tracker right
now.)

Tahoe-LAFS itself is pure Python and doesn't need to be compiled at all, but
some of its dependencies do, so a big part of the "ease of setup" goal is to
provide binary packages of those dependencies.

We need your help!

Please examine this pretty table and look for an operating system that you
like:

http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/deps/tahoe-lafs-dep-eggs/README.html

(Look at the Python 2.6 table. Python 2.6 is what is recommended in
http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/trunk/docs/quickstart.html , so if
there is only one version of Python that we support on your favorite
operating system, it ought to be 2.6.)

Any empty cell in that table means that we need someone to download a source
package of that dependency run "python setup.py bdist_egg" on their favorite
operating system, and send us the resulting .egg file.

Don't delay! Be the first kid on your block to contribute binary packages of
every dependency on your favorite operating system!

Thanks!

Zooko
