It is currently hardcoded in setup.py to be 'allmydata-tahoe'. Ticket #556 is to make it configurable by a runtime command-line argument to setup.py: "--appname=foo", but I suddenly wondered if we really wanted that and at the same time realized that we don't need that for tahoe-1.3.0 release, so this patch just hardcodes it in setup.py.
setup.py inspects a file named 'src/allmydata/_appname.py' and assert that it contains the string "__appname__ = 'allmydata-tahoe'", and creates it if it isn't already present. src/allmydata/__init__.py import _appname and reads __appname__ from it. The rest of the Python code imports allmydata and inspects "allmydata.__appname__", although actually every use it uses "allmydata.__full_version__" instead, where "allmydata.__full_version__" is created in src/allmydata/__init__.py to be:
__full_version__ = __appname + '-' + str(__version__).
All the code that emits an "application version string" when describing what version of a protocol it supports (introducer server, storage server, upload helper), or when describing itself in general (introducer client), usese allmydata.__full_version__.
This fixes ticket #556 at least well enough for tahoe-1.3.0 release.
This reverses some, but not all, of the changes that were committed in the following set of patches.

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 makes Uploader take an EncryptedUploadable object instead of an Uploadable object. I also changed it to return a verify cap instead of a tuple of the bits of data that one finds in a verify cap.
This will facilitate hooking together an Uploader and a Downloader to make a Repairer.
Also move offloaded.py into src/allmydata/immutable/.
Removed the Checker service, removed checker results storage (both in-memory
and the tiny stub of sqlite-based storage). Added ICheckable, all
check/verify is now done by calling the check() method on filenodes and
dirnodes (immutable files, literal files, mutable files, and directory
instances).
Checker results are returned in a Results instance, with an html() method for
display. Checker results have been temporarily removed from the wui directory
listing until we make some other fixes.
Also fixed client.create_node_from_uri() to create LiteralFileNodes properly,
since they have different checking behavior. Previously we were creating full
FileNodes with LIT uris inside, which were downloadable but not checkable.
adds a stats_producer for the upload helper, which provides a series of counters
to the stats gatherer, under the name 'chk_upload_helper'.
it examines both the 'incoming' directory, and the 'encoding' dir, providing
inc_count inc_size inc_size_old enc_count enc_size enc_size_old, respectively
the number of files in each dir, the total size thereof, and the aggregate
size of all files older than 48hrs
this adds a new service to pre-generate RSA key pairs. This allows
the expensive (i.e. slow) key generation to be placed into a process
outside the node, so that the node's reactor will not block when it
needs a key pair, but instead can retrieve them from a pool of already
generated key pairs in the key-generator service.
it adds a tahoe create-key-generator command which initialises an
empty dir with a tahoe-key-generator.tac file which can then be run
via twistd. it stashes its .pem and portnum for furl stability and
writes the furl of the key gen service to key_generator.furl, also
printing it to stdout.
by placing a key_generator.furl file into the nodes config directory
(e.g. ~/.tahoe) a node will attempt to connect to such a service, and
will use that when creating mutable files (i.e. directories) whenever
possible. if the keygen service is unavailable, it will perform the
key generation locally instead, as before.
Now upload or encode methods take a required argument named "convergence" which can be either None, indicating no convergent encryption at all, or a string, which is the "added secret" to be mixed in to the content hash key. If you want traditional convergent encryption behavior, set the added secret to be the empty string.
This patch also renames "content hash key" to "convergent encryption" in a argument names and variable names. (A different and larger renaming is needed in order to clarify that Tahoe supports immutable files which are not encrypted content-hash-key a.k.a. convergent encryption.)
This patch also changes a few unit tests to use non-convergent encryption, because it doesn't matter for what they are testing and non-convergent encryption is slightly faster.
this adds an interface, IStatsProducer, defining the get_stats() method
which the stats provider calls upon and registered producer, and made the
register_producer() method check that interface is implemented.
also refine the startup logic, so that the stats provider doesn't try and
connect out to the stats gatherer until after the node declares the tub
'ready'. this is to address an issue whereby providers would attach to
the gatherer without providing a valid furl, and hence the gatherer would
be unable to determine the tubid of the connected client, leading to lost
samples.
We have a desire to collect runtime statistics from multiple nodes primarily
for server monitoring purposes. This implements a simple implementation of
such a system, as a skeleton to build more sophistication upon.
Each client now looks for a 'stats_gatherer.furl' config file. If it has
been configured to use a stats gatherer, then it instantiates internally
a StatsProvider. This is a central place for code which wishes to offer
stats up for monitoring to report them to, either by calling
stats_provider.count('stat.name', value) to increment a counter, or by
registering a class as a stats producer with sp.register_producer(obj).
The StatsProvider connects to the StatsGatherer server and provides its
provider upon startup. The StatsGatherer is then responsible for polling
the attached providers periodically to retrieve the data provided.
The provider queries each registered producer when the gatherer queries
the provider. Both the internal 'counters' and the queried 'stats' are
then reported to the gatherer.
This provides a simple gatherer app, (c.f. make stats-gatherer-run)
which prints its furl and listens for incoming connections. Once a
minute, the gatherer polls all connected providers, and writes the
retrieved data into a pickle file.
Also included is a munin plugin which knows how to read the gatherer's
stats.pickle and output data munin can interpret. this plugin,
tahoe-stats.py can be symlinked as multiple different names within
munin's 'plugins' directory, and inspects argv to determine which
data to display, doing a lookup in a table within that file.
It looks in the environment for 'statsfile' to determine the path to
the gatherer's stats.pickle. An example plugins-conf.d file is
provided.
a recent purge of the start.html code also took away the logic that wrote
'node.url' into the node root. this is required for the tahoe cli tool to
find the node. this puts back a limited fraction of that code, so that the
node writes out a node.url file upon startup.
* rename my_private_dir.cap to root_dir.cap
* move it into the private subdir
* change the cmdline argument "--root-uri=[private]" to "--dir-uri=[root]"
* use new decentralized directories everywhere instead of old centralized directories
* provide UI to them through the web server
* provide UI to them through the CLI
* update unit tests to simulate decentralized mutable directories in order to test other components that rely on them
* remove the notion of a "vdrive server" and a client thereof
* remove the notion of a "public vdrive", which was a directory that was centrally published/subscribed automatically by the tahoe node (you can accomplish this manually by making a directory and posting the URL to it on your web site, for example)
* add a notion of "wait_for_numpeers" when you need to publish data to peers, which is how many peers should be attached before you start. The default is 1.
* add __repr__ for filesystem nodes (note: these reprs contain a few bits of the secret key!)
* fix a few bugs where we used to equate "mutable" with "not read-only". Nowadays all directories are mutable, but some might be read-only (to you).
* fix a few bugs where code wasn't aware of the new general-purpose metadata dict the comes with each filesystem edge
* sundry fixes to unit tests to adjust to the new directories, e.g. don't assume that every share on disk belongs to a chk file.
The URI typenames need revision, and only a few dirnode methods are
implemented. Filenodes are non-functional, but URI/key-management is in
place. There are a lot of classes with names like "NewDirectoryNode" that
will need to be rename once we decide what (if any) backwards compatibility
want to retain.
This makes it so that an optional file which is unreadable or is rm'ed
at the wrong moment will be ignored instead of raising an exception.
It also bums out a couple of unnecessary lines of code (the explicit
".close()" call).
By writing something like "25 75 100" into a file named 'encoding_parameters'
in the central Introducer's base directory, all clients which use that
introducer will be advised to use 25-out-of-100 encoding for files (i.e.
100 shares will be produced, 25 are required to reconstruct, and the upload
process will be happy if it can find homes for at least 75 shares). The
default values are "3 7 10". For small meshes, the defaults are probably
good, but for larger ones it may be appropriate to increase the number of
shares.
To use this, write a number like 10MB or 5Gb or 5000000000 to a file
named 'sizelimit' in the client's base directory. The node will not grant
leases for shares that would take it much beyond this many bytes of
storage. Note that metadata is not included in the allocation count until
a restart, so the actual space consumed may grow beyond the limit if
the node is not restarted very frequently and the amount of metadata is
significant.
These allow client-side code to conveniently retrieve the IDirectoryNode
instances for both the global shared public root directory, and the per-user
private root directory.
Rather than use separate client.pem and introducer.pem files, use 'node.pem'
for all nodes regardless of what type it is. This is slightly cleaner, but
introduces a compatibility. Users who upgrade to this change should do
'mv client.pem node.pem' to avoid generating a new certificate and thus
changing their TubID.
Added metadata to the bucket store, which is used to hold the share number
(but the bucket doesn't know that, it just gets a string).
Modified the codec interfaces a bit.
Try to pass around URIs to/from download/upload instead of verifierids.
URI format is still in flux.
Change the current (primitive) file encoder to use a ReplicatingEncoder
because it provides ICodecEncoder. We will be moving to the (less primitive)
file encoder (currently in allmydata.encode_new) eventually, but for now
this change lets us test out PyRS or zooko's upcoming C-based RS codec in
something larger than a single unit test. This primitive file encoder only
uses a single segment, and has no merkle trees.
Also added allmydata.util.deferredutil for a DeferredList wrapper that
errbacks (but only when all component Deferreds have fired) if there were
any errors, which unfortunately is not a behavior available from the standard
DeferredList.
