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

6e7fb1006d Use DIR-IMM and t=mkdir-immutable for "tahoe backup", for #828 2009-11-18 11:28:13 -08:00
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

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
emits.

client.create_dirnode(initial_children=) now works.
