You can attend the Hangout at the `following Hangout URL`_. Friday, 01/29/16 ---------------- Attendees: Brian Warner, David Stainton, Leif Ryge, meejah, Patrick R McDonald, Zooko Wilcox There was a large amount of discussion centered tradeoffs between reliability/availability vs the ability to revoke or unshare something. Leif and David brought up the excellent point that once you provide another person which a cap, you currently do not have a reliable method to revoke access to the data associated with that cap. This may be one of the reasons for the slowness in Tahoe-LAFS' adoption. Users have trouble understanding that access controls in Tahoe-LAFS are not handled by a third party to allow for easy revocation. Tuesday, 02/02/16 ----------------- Attendees: Brian Warner, Chris Wood, Daira Hopwood, David Stainton, Leif Ryge, meejah, Patrick R McDonald, Zooko Wilcox Account creation on Tahoe Trac is resolved thanks to Brian. Hopefully it will remain resistant to spammers for awhile. Zooko will merge github.com/zooko/pycryptopp master and github.com/tahoe-lafs/pycryptopp master and version and tag it as 0.7.1 A large amount of time was spent on ticket triage. Below are the results of the triage. * `#2534`_ - The problem will be resolved by either an upgrade of Foolscap or an upgrade to Tahoe-LAFS 1.10.3. Brian will the latest Foolscap a dependency (`#2722`_) of Tahoe-LAFS. * `#1949`_ and `#2137`_ appear to have the same underlying cause * `#2543`_ - To be resolved for 1.10.3 * `#2709`_ - Moved out of the release * `#517`_, `#1007`_ and `#1010`_ - Are moved to the 1.11.0 * `#1349`_ - Brian and Leif will work to resolve this * `#2045`_ - Adding 1.11 After the meeting, Daira fixed `#2724`_, `#1949`_, `#2137`_, and `#2543`_. The buildbot is mostly red right now. The failures (and steps-to-resolve) are: * "Daira Win7-64": failing tests because of windows lacking time.tzset, Daira is investigating * "FreeStorm CentOS6": using py2.6 (no longer supported), Brian will remove * "MM netbsd5": using py2.6, Brian will remove * "Marcus Cygwin WinXP": using py2.6, Brian will remove * "Ubuntu trusty 14.04": cffi version mismatch, Daira might spin up VM to reproduce * "clean", "memcheck-32": same (runs on same vm) * "Warner OS-X 10.11": current pycryptopp won't compile, Zooko will make new release of pycryptopp to fix * "memcheck-64": build fails, looking for obsolete distribution "twisted-web", Brian will investigate * known bug in recent Debian packaging: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=811392 After the meeting, the following updates were made: * py2.6 builders removed * cffi mismatch resolved (added a virtualenv to isolate tahoe tests from host packages) * memcheck-64 Debian bug fixed, waiting for new package to appear on mirrors, should be installed on 02/04/2016 .. _`following Hangout URL`: https://plus.google.com/hangouts/_/calendar/YTEwYW1vbGxxMG10cmMwbGU0ZXM3N2IxODRAZ3JvdXAuY2FsZW5kYXIuZ29vZ2xlLmNvbQ.unccip97qin95ihpk6l3nknumo?authuser=0 .. _`#2534`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2534 .. _`#2722`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2722 .. _`#1949`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1949 .. _`#2137`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2137 .. _`#2543`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2543 .. _`#2709`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2709 .. _`#517`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/517 .. _`#1007`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1007 .. _`#1010`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1010 .. _`#1349`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1349 .. _`#2045`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2045 .. _`#2724`: https://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/2724 *The Tahoe-LAFS Weekly News is published once a week by The Tahoe-LAFS* The Tahoe-LAFS Weekly News is published once a week by The Tahoe-LAFS Software Foundation, President and Treasurer: Peter Secor |peter|.
