a1fa80fc0c docs: install.html -> quickstart.html 
It is not called "installing" because that implies that it is going to change the configuration of your operating system. It is not called "building" because that implies that you need developer tools like a compiler. Also I added a stern warning against looking at the "InstallDetails" wiki page, which I have renamed to "AdvancedInstall".

34a50b857a docs: a few small edits to try to guide newcomers through the docs 
These edits were suggested by my watching over Jake Appelbaum's shoulder as he completely ignored/skipped/missed install.html and also as he decided that debian.txt wouldn't help him with basic installation. Then I threw in a few docs edits that have been sitting around in my sandbox asking to be committed for months.

Brian Warner
9901a08fd3 Add dirnodes to backupdb and "tahoe backup", closes #606. 
* backups now share dirnodes with any previous backup, in any location,
  so renames and moves are handled very efficiently
* "tahoe backup" no longer bothers reading the previous snapshot
* if you switch grids, you should delete ~/.tahoe/private/backupdb.sqlite,
  to force new uploads of all files and directories

f85690697a Add t=mkdir-immutable to the webapi. Closes #607. 
* change t=mkdir-with-children to not use multipart/form encoding. Instead,
  the request body is all JSON. t=mkdir-immutable uses this format too.
* make nodemaker.create_immutable_dirnode() get convergence from SecretHolder,
  but let callers override it
* raise NotDeepImmutableError instead of using assert()
* add mutable= argument to DirectoryNode.create_subdirectory(), default True

Brian Warner
768c76aa5f webapi: use t=mkdir-with-children instead of a children= arg to t=mkdir . 
This is safer: in the earlier API, an old webapi server would silently ignore
the initial children, and clients trying to set them would have to fetch the
newly-created directory to discover the incompatibility. In the new API,
clients using t=mkdir-with-children against an old webapi server will get a
clear error.

b30041c5ec webapi: t=mkdir now accepts initial children, using the same JSON that t=json

5501983f5f proposed/mutable-DSA.txt: add some new design criteria 2009-07-11 14:25:00 +01:00
Brian Warner
ef1b6ae8e3 Tolerate unknown URI types in directory structures. Part of #683. 
The idea is that future versions of Tahoe will add new URI types that this
version won't recognize, but might store them in directories that we *can*
read. We should handle these "objects from the future" as best we can.
Previous releases of Tahoe would just explode. With this change, we'll
continue to be able to work with everything else in the directory.

The code change is to wrap anything we don't recognize as an UnknownNode
instance (as opposed to a FileNode or DirectoryNode). Then webapi knows how
to render these (mostly by leaving fields blank), deep-check knows to skip
over them, deep-stats counts them in "count-unknown". You can rename and
delete these things, but you can't add new ones (because we wouldn't know how
to generate a readcap to put into the dirnode's rocap slot, and because this
lets us catch typos better).

9bb05a7a08 docs/accounts-pubkey.txt: when sending FURLs (signed or otherwise), also send

roundtrip that would otherwise be required. Recipients must still use the
FURL for security, but pre-populating the foolscap table is a good speed-up.

970edc5c65 setup and docs: various improvements to setup and docs 
Remove docs/install-details.html and README.win32 for now (see #282).
Remove checks for pywin32 and pyopenssl in Makefile -- that is (or will be) automated by setuptools.
Remove twisted from setup_requires.  This causes the problem in which Nevow doesn't declare its dependency on Twisted (#440) to yield a clear ImportError mentioning Twisted and to fail repeatedly, rather than yielding a weird ImportError and working on the second identical attempt.
Fix Makefile to set PATH so that trial and twistd can be found by "make test" after Twisted was installed into support/ during "make"

Brian Warner
151f69d9b5 webapi.txt: overhaul documentation. API changes are as follows: 
* download/upload localdir=/localfile= has been removed. This sort of ambient
   authority was unsafe to expose over the web (CSRF), and at some point
   soon we'll have 'cp -r' in the CLI to replace it.
 * GET save=filename -> GET filename=filename&save=true
 * GET t=download removed
 * side-effect causing operations now use POST where appropriate, not PUT
 * to create multiple directories, either use
   * POST /uri/DIRCAP/parent?t=mkdir&name=child  (more form/browser oriented)
   * POST /uri/DIRCAP/parent/child?t=mkdir (more machine oriented)
   The t=mkdir-p form is still accepted, but not preferred (since it leaks
   the child name queryarg into the logs)
 * use PUT /uri/MUTABLEFILECAP or PUT /uri/DIRCAP/child (on a mutable file) to
   replace its contents, or POST /same?t=upload from forms
 * response bodies and codes are better specified than before

7caec120b3 docs: webapi: Add concise shorthand for options, input, output, and statuses to the operation descriptions... 
I'm not convinced if this is the best way to do this, but I find it
handy to have a conscise "quick reference" for the webapi operations
which summarize all related I/O.

Another possibility is to reject this patch, but create a separate
"webapi_quickref.html" with a concise table.

6c0e894134 doc: architecture.txt: start updating architecture.txt 
I chose to remove mention of non-convergent encoding, not because I dislike non-convergent encoding, but because that option isn't currently expressed in the API and in order to shorten architecture.txt.  I renamed "URI" to "Capability".  I did some editing, including updating a few places that treated all capabilities as CHK-capabilities and that mentioned that distributed SSKs were not yet implemented.
