When I first implemented #778, I just altered the error messages to refer to
servers where they referred to shares. The resulting error messages weren't
very good. These are a bit better.
The Tahoe2PeerSelector returned either NoSharesError or NotEnoughSharesError
for a variety of error conditions that weren't informatively described by them.
This patch creates a new error, UploadHappinessError, replaces uses of
NoSharesError and NotEnoughSharesError with it, and alters the error message
raised with the errors to be more in line with the new servers_of_happiness
behavior. See ticket #834 for more information.
- Fix comments and confusing naming.
- Add tests for the new error messages suggested by David-Sarah
and Zooko.
- Alter existing tests for new error messages.
- Make sure that the tests continue to work with the trunk.
- Add a test for a mutual disjointedness assertion that I added to
upload.servers_of_happiness.
- Fix the comments to correctly reflect read-onlyness
- Add a test for an edge case in should_add_server
- Add an assertion to make sure that share redistribution works as it
should
- Alter tests to work with revised servers_of_happiness semantics
- Remove tests for should_add_server, since that function no longer exists.
- Alter tests to know about merge_peers, and to use it before calling
servers_of_happiness.
- Add tests for merge_peers.
- Add Zooko's puzzles to the tests.
- Edit encoding tests to expect the new kind of failure message.
- Edit tests to expect error messages with the word "only" moved as far
to the right as possible.
- Extended and cleaned up some helper functions.
- Changed some tests to call more appropriate helper functions.
- Added a test for the failing redistribution algorithm
- Added a test for the progress message
- Added a test for the upper bound on readonly peer share discovery.
This patch modifies the regular expression used for verifying of '--node-url'
parameter. Support for accessing a Tahoe gateway over HTTPS was already
present, thanks to Python's urllib.
This handles the case where we upload a new tahoe directory for a
previously-processed local directory, possibly creating a new dircap (if the
metadata had changed). Now we replace the old dirhash->dircap record. The
previous behavior left the old record in place (with the old dircap and
timestamps), so we'd never stop creating new directories and never converge
on a null backup.
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".
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.
