This roughly translates into $250 US with current exchange rates. To claim the bounty you must make the unit tests five (5) faster on Brian's |brian| laptop without causing any code to be less covered by the tests. Brian's laptop running OS X with disk encryption currently take 24 minutes to complete the unit tests. This means you need to shave 4.8 minutes off the time. .. _`placed a 50 BC bounty`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/20#comment:13 - From the tahoe-dev Mailing List =============================== On the Limits of the Use Cases for Authenticated Encryption - ----------------------------------------------------------- Zooko posted `his essay`_ on the limits of the use cases for authenticated encryption. The essay covers the definition of authenticated encryption and why Zooko feels authenticated encryption doesn't fit Tahoe-LAFS. I highly recommend reading it. .. _`his essay`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2012-April/007315.html Patches Needing Review of the Week ================================== There is two (2) ticket still needing review for 1.9.2: * `#1636`_: Unhandled error in Deffered while uploading (curret darcs build * `#1115`_: add servers-of-happiness to reports (post-repair says 10 hosts have good shares but there only 4 hosts) There are five (5) tickets still needing review for 1.10: * `#1240`_: add functional test of ResponseCache * `#1161`_: improve new-downloader logging * `#1579`_: Patch to Add "Move" Functionality to Web Interface problem) * `#443`_: set ETag on immutable directories, short-circuit on cache hit * `#1693`_: flogtool doesn't get automatically provided .. _`#1636`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1636 .. _`#1115`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1115 .. _`#1240`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1240 .. _`#1161`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1161 .. _`#1579`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1579 .. _`#443`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/443 .. _`#1566`: http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1566 .. _`#1693`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1693 - ---- *The Tahoe-LAFS Weekly News is published once a week by The Tahoe-LAFS* *Software Foundation, President and Treasurer: Peter Secor* |peter| *.
