Using pkg_resources is probably better if it works -- zope.interface doesn't have a __version__ attribute that we can query, but pkg_resources knows zope.interface's version number, for one thing.
This code falls back to the old way -- looking at the __version__ attributes and __file__ attributes -- if the pkg_resources way doesn't answer.
Note that this patch also changes the capitalization of "Nevow", "Twisted", and "pyOpenSSL", and the spelling of "allmydata-tahoe". These changes are not frivolous: they are reflecting the fact that we are naming Python packages (technically called Python "distributions") instead of Python modules (technically and confusingly called Python "packages") here. The package ("distribution") is named "allmydata-tahoe". The module ("package") is named "allmydata".
Because Brian argues that the file contains a description of the wui as well as of the wapi, and because the name "webapi.txt" might be more obvious to the untrained eye.
This implements an immutable repairer by marrying a CiphertextDownloader to a CHKUploader. It extends the IDownloadTarget interface so that the downloader can provide some metadata that the uploader requires.
The processing is incremental -- it uploads the first segments before it finishes downloading the whole file. This is necessary so that you can repair large files without running out of RAM or using a temporary file on the repairer.
It requires only a verifycap, not a readcap. That is: it doesn't need or use the decryption key, only the integrity check codes.
There are several tests marked TODO and several instances of XXX in the source code. I intend to open tickets to document further improvements to functionality and testing, but the current version is probably good enough for Tahoe-1.3.0.
It used to be a map from shnum to a string saying "placed this share on XYZ server". The new definition is more in keeping with the "sharemap" object that results from immutable file checking and repair, and it is more useful to the repairer, which is a consumer of immutable upload results.
Rename "downloadable" to "target".
Rename "u" to "v" in FileDownloader.__init__().
Rename "_uri" to "_verifycap" in FileDownloader.
Rename "_downloadable" to "_target" in FileDownloader.
Rename "FileDownloader" to "CiphertextDownloader".
FileDownloader takes a verify cap and produces ciphertext, instead of taking a read cap and producing plaintext.
FileDownloader does all integrity checking including the mandatory ciphertext hash tree and the optional ciphertext flat hash, rather than expecting its target to do some of that checking.
Rename immutable.download.Output to immutable.download.DecryptingOutput. An instance of DecryptingOutput can be passed to FileDownloader to use as the latter's target. Text pushed to the DecryptingOutput is decrypted and then pushed to *its* target.
DecryptingOutput satisfies the IConsumer interface, and if its target also satisfies IConsumer, then it forwards and pause/unpause signals to its producer (which is the FileDownloader).
This patch also changes some logging code to use the new logging mixin class.
Check integrity of a segment and decrypt the segment one block-sized buffer at a time instead of copying the buffers together into one segment-sized buffer (reduces peak memory usage, I think, and is probably a tad faster/less CPU, depending on your encoding parameters).
Refactor FileDownloader so that processing of segments and of tail-segment share as much code is possible.
FileDownloader and FileNode take caps as instances of URI (Python objects), not as strings.
This was somewhat sad; the assertion didn't say what path caused the
error, what went wrong. So... silently skip over things that are
neither dirs nor files.
pyflakes pointed out to me that I had committed some code that is untested, since it uses an undefined name. This patch exercises that code -- the validation of the ciphertext hash tree -- by corrupting some of the share files in a very specific way, and also fixes the bug.
Once again I inserted a bug into the code, and once again it was hidden by something catching arbitrary exception/failure and assuming that it means the server failed to provide valid data.
We were not making sure that we really got all the crypttext hashes during download. If a server were to return less than the complete set of crypttext hashes, then our subsequent attempt to verify the correctness of the ciphertext would fail. (And it wouldn't be obvious without very careful debugging why it had failed.)
This patch makes it so that you keep trying to get ciphertext hashes until you have a full set or you run out of servers to ask.
