fred 0.4 seems to be able to function sufficiently well for FCP now. I have been able to insert and retrieve all keytypes from sizes of a few bytes to about 1 meg.
------ building and running ------ cvs -z3 co -r experimental Freenet cd Freenet/client cat kill_list.txt | xargs rm cd ../.. jikes -d build/ Freenet/node/Node.java Freenet/client/*.java cd build java Freenet.node.Node At this point it will try to find its config file and fail. It suggests you use --config. java Freenet.node.Node --config <answer questions -- especially ipAddress> java Freenet.node.Node Now it has to create the datastore file and directory file. Creating the datastore file can be _lengthy_ .. the default size is 200 megabytes, and that took 4 min 10 sec on a PII 400, using java.util.Random to fill the file. Using fred's Yarrow RNG, it took 90 sec to generate a _10 meg_ store. At java.util.random speeds on the PII 400, it would be about 20 minutes for a 1 gig store. With the Yarrow, about 2.5 hours. Anyone who beta tests this might want to examine the log file and time the interval after the message "Initializing datastore..". We may want to provide a fast C store generator with the installers. ---------------------------------- FCP seems to function but I haven't tested it under extreme loads or strange conditions like very small or very large datastores. Freenet/contrib/test/fcptest.pl can be used as a barebones shell FCP client. What about talking to other nodes? Well, the inform stuff has been hacked out but node announcement isn't in yet, so the best we have right now is (with the node _not_ running): java Freenet.node.Node --export <file> <give file to friend> java Freenet.node.Node --seed <file_from_friend> Haven't tried this yet however... FNP is probably totally b0rked anyway >:oP -- # tavin cole # # "Technology is a way of organizing the universe so that # man doesn't have to experience it." # # - Max Frisch _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
