please upgrade Tahoe-LAFS in Lucid to v1.6.1 of Tahoe-LAFS

Whoo! I successfully assigned this ticket to Paul Hummer! Will you do it, Paul?

I sent a mail to Zooko and the Tahoe-LAFS mailing list, requesting testers for the updated package. So far, I have not received any testing feedback.

Nevertheless, I attach my .diff.gz file, which applies against the latest upstream tarball, which can be found at:

<http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/releases/allmydata-tahoe-1.6.1.tar.gz>

Jeremy Visser's package is available from this PPA apt repository: https://launchpad.net/~jeremy-visser/+archive/ppa

I’ve had two positive responses on testing this from participants on the mailing list, as well as it working well for me in my own testing. I think it's ready to upload.

I’m going to mark this Fix Committed, because this is basically pending upload sponsorship from an interested party.

Hi,

To request sponsorship, please put the status as Confirmed, and assigned it to nobody: your sponsorship request would be managed quicker.

Hi,

As there are changes to the source tarball, you should use a patch system to apply them.
The easiest way now is to use source format 3.0(quilt), so quilt is used automatically to separate what comes from upstream and what comes from packaging.

Also, please update the watch file to a working one:
version=3
opts=dversionmangle=s/allmydata-tahoe/tahoe-lafs/ \
http://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/releases/allmydata-tahoe-(.\..\..)\.tar\.gz

Also, there are 2 lintian warning that should be fixed.

Thanks to take care of that :-)

Fabrice,

Here’s an updated .diff.gz that fixes the lintian bugs you mentioned, as well as fixes the watch file. I used a tweaked version from what you specified, as they release -SUMO releases, which are basically the same as the normal releases, except they come with exotic dependencies shipped (which is obviously not necessary in our case).

However, I have not converted the patches to quilt format, because of one showstopper: the whole reason for the source edit is so it fixes a bug in the 'python setup.py clean' command, which causes it to download dependencies that it thinks it needs, but doesn't. Now, because the bug occurs in 'python setup.py clean', and because at the stage where that is called during building, all the quilt patches are unapplied, so the bug occurs. So I think the patch should be still applied even when 'clean'.

Hi,

Except that with format 3.0(quilt), the patch is applied at decompresion time ,so it would be ok.

I'll take care of that part. Thanks for your changes!

Fabrice

Uploaded. Thanks for your work!
