We get a lot of negative feedback on the docs for new users, and so I still want to improve them (see #1024). But it is nice to know that the current docs work well for some users. https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1024# introductory docs are confusing and off-putting > if I get farther along, I may attempt to build a "quick config" menu > system/wizard/installer to reduce the need for editing text files for the > average user. That's an interesting idea! There are only a few things that need to be configured, but that is still a big hurdle to users who aren't comfortable with the command-line and with using text editors on config files. > P.S.

It is too bad about #1476, because I really like to be able to run unit tests everywhere and all the time. However, I believe that the gateway or storage-server itself will run fine on Raspberry Pi, even if (due to #1476) the tests will fail. https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1476# unit tests running out of memory on FranXois lenny-armv5tel buildbot or on a 613 MiB EC2 > P.P.S.

I must say that they sound pretty cool! I'm pretty sure Tahoe-LAFS will compile and run just fine on those, on either Debian or Ubuntu, except possibly with the #1476 issue again. > P.P.P.S. I don't see where to give a storage node either a limit (not > reserved[_free]_space, but maximum[_used]_space), or a location. This is ticket #671, which has been fixed by Mark Berger, but is blocked on getting into trunk until some other patches that it depends on get into trunk. Want to help? Track down which patches are blocking this and do a code-review of them! (Even if someone else has already done a code-review, more code-reviews is always better!) https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/671# bring back sizelimit (i.e. max consumed, not min free) Regards, Zooko _______________________________________________ tahoe-dev mailing list [email protected] https://tahoe-lafs.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tahoe-dev
