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.

95296e01a3 docs: remove obsolete doc file "codemap.txt"
I started to update this to reflect the current codebase, but then I thought (a) nobody seemed to notice that it hasn't been updated since December 2007, and (b) it will just bit-rot again, so I'm removing it.

31c9cb760a update "tahoe backup" docs, and webapi.txt's mkdir-with-children 2009-11-27 00:59:00 -05:00
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

Brian Warner
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
