Thank you for clearing that up, makes a lot more sense now. So the goal on my end seems to be as such:
Install Python Install all dependencies for tahoe Install / build tahoe-lafs Deploy tahoe-lafs introducer + server nodes Build tahoe-w32-client (if so desired) Test! (documenting along the way of course) Thanks again, gives me some things to do during any down time tomorrow.

That software is Tahoe-LAFS, v1.5.0. It works fine on Windows (if you can get it built). It behaves the same way as it does on all other platforms: you can create a gateway node using the "tahoe create-client" command, use the command-line tools such as "tahoe cp" and "tahoe backup", use the WUI, etc. To do so, start here: http:// allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/install.html (and mentally prepare yourself to help us out with tickets like #756 and #781). The other thing that Peter mentioned is "Tahoe-W32-Client": http:// allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-w32-client/wiki Tahoe-W32-Client is an application that requires Tahoe-LAFS, and adds to it a Virtual Drive which is integrated into the Windows filesystem, so that you can drag and drop files into and out of Tahoe- LAFS using your Windows file explorer or your cmd.exe commands such as "cp" and "move". Tahoe-W32-Client also comes with a GUI installer so that you can have the pleasure of looking at pretty colored windows and buttons while installing. These facts ought to be wiki-ed up... Maybe here: http:// allmydata.org/trac/tahoe-w32-client/wiki and http://allmydata.org/ trac/tahoe/wiki/RelatedProjects Regards, Zooko http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/756 # if pywin32 has been manually installed, setuptools still doesn't detect it http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/781 # wanted: Windows Packaging _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] http://allmydata.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
