My requests for tickets `#1407`_ and `#1660`_ were both accepted. I am really enjoying how get works and uses branches in practice makes the concept much easier to understand than any amount of reading ever did. Now I simply make a branch for each ticket on which I work and away I go. There may be a slight delay in my coding over the next month. I sold my house and bought a new one. Prepping the first house, the move and establishing ourselves in the new place should eat up a majority of my time. So for a bit, no coding for me. I will see about submitting my progress as a patch and maybe someone can develop the unit test in the mean time. .. _`#1407`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1407 .. _`#1660`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1660 - From the tahoe-dev Mailing List =============================== Announcement: lafs-rpg - Restrictive Proxy Gateway - -------------------------------------------------- Nathan |nathan| `announced`_ the release of `lafs-rpg`_. lafs-rpg provides a "locked-down" webapi which the public can use to retrieve content from a Tahoe-LAFS network, while minimizing the risk to the operator of the webapi. Nathan accomplishes this through the use of haproxy HTTP redirection and access control rules. Nathan created `#1665`_ to brainstorm webapi vulnerabilities between the operator and a user and between users. There is also a `live demo`_. .. |nathan| image:: nwilcox.jpg :height: 35 :alt: Nathan Wilcox .. _`announced`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2012-January/007010.html .. _`lafs-rpg`: https://bitbucket.org/nejucomo/lafs-rpg/overview .. _`#1665`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1665 .. _`live demo`: https://con.struc.tv/ help wanted: package Tahoe-LAFS for Fedora 17 - --------------------------------------------- We would like to `package Tahoe-LAFS for Fedora 17`_.
