Re: [tahoe-dev] tahoe-lafs 1.9.1 shipped in the next Debian stable

Dear Bertagaz: We're almost ready to release Tahoe-LAFS v1.9.2, and I wonder if it is okay to take a couple more days for extra testing or if we should hurry and finalize it so you can package it for Debian? We've fixed all but one of the issues that we intended to fix. You can see the issue tickets here: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/milestone/1.9.2 The one serious issue that isn't fixed yet is https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1670# KeyError in mutable retrieve We know of a bug in the code (dict instead of tuple being returned from get_verinfo() of MDMFs), but we're not sure if that bug is causing that failure. There is no unit test currently demonstrating that failure. We prefer not to fix bugs when we don't have a unit test that goes from red to green by that fix, so if it won't make us miss the Debian deadline, I'd like to take a couple more days to figure out how to write a unit test of #1670. Then we'll find out if the dict-instead-of-tuple bug is causing #1670 or not. Also I'm doing an experiment of converting all of the existing unit tests from using SDMFs to using MDMFs as a way to find any bugs in MDMFs. So far I haven't found any more bugs in MDMFs that way. (Because there were already quite a few tests of MDMFs.) Also, it would be great to have some actual users try out 1.9.2 before we finalize it. Users! You can do this right now if you're willing to use darcs to fetch the source. This is actually painless -- you just acquire darcs (http://wiki.darcs.net/Binaries) and then you run darcs get --lazy https://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/1.9.2 Then you never have to touch darcs again. That command takes about 60 seconds to run. Oh, but it might fail if the darcs binary you got is incapable of handling HTTPS. In that case, you give up and complain to us and we'll post some tar.gz files for you to try out...
