Remove install.html (long since deprecated).
Also replace some obsolete references to install.html with references to quickstart.rst.
Fix some broken internal references within docs/historical/historical_known_issues.txt.
Thanks to Ravi Pinjala and Patrick McDonald.

Pass around IServer instance instead of (peerid, rref) tuple. Replace
"descriptor" with "server". Other replacements:
get_all_servers -> get_connected_servers/get_known_servers
get_servers_for_index -> get_servers_for_psi (now returns IServers)
This change still needs to be pushed further down: lots of code is now
getting the IServer and then distributing (peerid, rref) internally.
Instead, it ought to distribute the IServer internally and delay
extracting a serverid or rref until the last moment.
no_network.py was updated to retain parallelism.
allmydata.util.log.err() either takes a Failure as the first positional
argument, or takes no positional arguments and must be invoked in an
exception handler. Fixed its signature to match both foolscap.logging.log.err
and twisted.python.log.err . Included a brief unit test.
Stop checking separately for ConnectionDone/ConnectionLost, since those have
been folded into DeadReferenceError since foolscap-0.3.1 . Write
rrefutil.trap_deadref() in terms of rrefutil.trap_and_discard() to improve
code coverage.
The bug was that a disconnected server could cause us to re-enter the initial
loop() call, sending multiple queries to a single server, provoking an
incorrect UCWE. To fix it, stall the loop() with an eventual.fireEventually()
instead of weird errors. Closes#874 and #786.
Previously, if the file had 0 shares, this would raise TypeError as it tried
to call download_version(None). If the file had some shares but fewer than
'k', it would incorrectly raise MustForceRepairError.
Added get_successful() to the IRepairResults API, to give repair() a place to
report non-code-bug problems like this.
Mutable servermap updates and the immutable checker, when run with
add_lease=True, send both the do-you-have-block and add-lease commands in
parallel, to avoid an extra round trip time. Many older servers have problems
with add-lease and raise various exceptions, which don't generally matter.
The client-side code was catching+ignoring some of them, but unrecognized
exceptions were passed through to the DYHB code, concealing the DYHB results
from the checker, making it think the server had no shares.
The fix is to separate the code paths. Both commands are sent at the same
time, but the errback path from add-lease is handled separately. Known
exceptions are ignored, the others (both unknown-remote and all-local) are
logged (log.WEIRD, which will trigger an Incident), but neither will affect
the DYHB results.
The add-lease message is sent first, and we know that the server handles them
synchronously. So when the checker is done, we can be sure that all the
add-lease messages have been retired. This makes life easier for unit tests.
under normal conditions, this wouldn't cause any problems, but if the shares
are really sparse (perhaps because new servers were added), then
file-modifies might stop looking too early and leave old shares in place
* stop caching most_recent_size in dirnode, rely upon backing filenode for it
* start caching most_recent_size in MutableFileNode
* return None when you don't know, not "?"
* only render None as "?" in the web "more info" page
* add get_size/get_current_size to UnknownNode
* "cap" means a python instance which encapsulates a filecap/dircap (uri.py)
* "uri" means a string with a "URI:" prefix
* FileNode instances are created with (and retain) a cap instance, and
generate uri strings on demand
* .get_cap/get_readcap/get_verifycap/get_repaircap return cap instances
* .get_uri/get_readonly_uri return uri strings
* add filenode.download_to_filename() for control.py, should find a better way
* use MutableFileNode.init_from_cap, not .init_from_uri
* directory URI instances: use get_filenode_cap, not get_filenode_uri
* update/cleanup bench_dirnode.py to match, add Makefile target to run it
invoked with the new MutableFileNode and is supposed to return the initial
contents. This can be used by e.g. a new dirnode which needs the filenode's
writekey to encrypt its initial children.
create_mutable_file() still accepts a bytestring too, or None for an empty
file.
* stop using IURI as an adapter
* pass cap strings around instead of URI instances
* move filenode/dirnode creation duties from Client to new NodeMaker class
* move other Client duties to KeyGenerator, SecretHolder, History classes
* stop passing Client reference to dirnode/filenode constructors
- pass less-powerful references instead, like StorageBroker or Uploader
* always create DirectoryNodes by wrapping a filenode (mutable for now)
* remove some specialized mock classes from unit tests
Detailed list of changes (done one at a time, then merged together)
always pass a string to create_node_from_uri(), not an IURI instance
always pass a string to IFilesystemNode constructors, not an IURI instance
stop using IURI() as an adapter, switch on cap prefix in create_node_from_uri()
client.py: move SecretHolder code out to a separate class
test_web.py: hush pyflakes
client.py: move NodeMaker functionality out into a separate object
LiteralFileNode: stop storing a Client reference
immutable Checker: remove Client reference, it only needs a SecretHolder
immutable Upload: remove Client reference, leave SecretHolder and StorageBroker
immutable Repairer: replace Client reference with StorageBroker and SecretHolder
immutable FileNode: remove Client reference
mutable.Publish: stop passing Client
mutable.ServermapUpdater: get StorageBroker in constructor, not by peeking into Client reference
MutableChecker: reference StorageBroker and History directly, not through Client
mutable.FileNode: removed unused indirection to checker classes
mutable.FileNode: remove Client reference
client.py: move RSA key generation into a separate class, so it can be passed to the nodemaker
move create_mutable_file() into NodeMaker
test_dirnode.py: stop using FakeClient mockups, use NoNetworkGrid instead. This simplifies the code, but takes longer to run (17s instead of 6s). This should come down later when other cleanups make it possible to use simpler (non-RSA) fake mutable files for dirnode tests.
test_mutable.py: clean up basedir names
client.py: move create_empty_dirnode() into NodeMaker
dirnode.py: get rid of DirectoryNode.create
remove DirectoryNode.init_from_uri, refactor NodeMaker for customization, simplify test_web's mock Client to match
stop passing Client to DirectoryNode, make DirectoryNode.create_with_mutablefile the normal DirectoryNode constructor, start removing client from NodeMaker
remove Client from NodeMaker
move helper status into History, pass History to web.Status instead of Client
test_mutable.py: fix minor typo
we actually exercise during tests) into more specific exceptions, so they
don't get optimized away. The best rule to follow is probably this: if an
exception is worth testing, then it's part of the API, and AssertionError
should never be part of the API. Closes#749.
This reduces the total test time on my laptop from 400s to 283s.
* src/allmydata/test/test_system.py (SystemTest.test_mutable._test_debug):
Remove assertion about container_size/data_size, this changes with keysize
and was too variable anyways.
* src/allmydata/mutable/filenode.py (MutableFileNode.create): add keysize=
* src/allmydata/dirnode.py (NewDirectoryNode.create): same
* src/allmydata/client.py (Client.DEFAULT_MUTABLE_KEYSIZE): add default,
this overrides the one in MutableFileNode
This will at least turn the really really weird error when a repair of a
readonly mutable file is attempted into a merely really weird assertion that
mentions "repair currently requires a writecap".
I get confused about whether a given argument or return value is a uri-as-string or uri-as-object. This patch adds a lot of assertions that it is one or the other, and also changes CheckerResults to take objects not strings.
In the future, I hope that we generally use Python objects except when importing into or exporting from the Python interpreter e.g. over the wire, the UI, or a stored file.
