This is the first step towards making node startup be synchronous: the
tub.port is entirely determined (including any TCP port allocation that
might be necessary) before creating the Tub, so the portnumber part of
FURLs can be determined earlier.
Re-indent the blocks for consistency, improve the explanation of
?filename=foo.jpg to match it's new location, use new-style reference
for urls-and-utf8 footnote.
• mark "/file/" as a synonym for "/named/" to be deprecated (fixes#1903)
• move the options common to all three forms to the bottom and dedent them
• name the protocol/format as "LAFS" and the implementation/client "Tahoe"
• reflow (with fill-column 77)
This little-used debugging feature allowed you to SSH or Telnet "into" a
Tahoe node, and get an interactive Read-Eval-Print-Loop (REPL) that
executed inside the context of the running process. The SSH
authentication code used a deprecated feature of Twisted, this code had
no unit-test coverage, and I haven't personally used it in at least 6
years (despite writing it in the first place). Time to go.
Also experiment with a Twisted-style "topfiles/" directory of NEWS
fragments. The idea is that we require all user-visible changes to
include a file or two (named as $TICKETNUM.$TYPE), and then run a script
to generate NEWS during the release process, instead of having a human
scan the commit logs and summarize the changes long after they landed.
Closes ticket:2367
Also add a comment to docs/index.rst, pointing folks who are browsing
the source tree (locally, with an editor) at the formatted version on
readthedocs.org .
Also it avoids the failure mode where a user forgets to activate the
virtualenv, types the recommended "pip install" command, and installs
stuff directly to their system instead of safely confined inside the
virtualenv.
* use correct fixed-width-font markup
* fix hyperlinks to neighboring (github-side) .rst files
* refer to python-2.7.11 consistently (thanks to PRab for the catch)
Twisted 15 dropped support for it, which causes Travis CI tests to fail on 2.6.
We still theoretically support older versions of Twisted, so perhaps we should
configure Travis to test with those? I think we should drop Python 2.6 in any
case since distros are all on 2.7 now.
I'm leaving Travis running (and ignoring) the failing PyPy tests because I
don't know why that is there.
