Actually, we can just use a prodnet webapi node. Basically you'll set up a
stub ~buildslave/.tahoe/ , with a node.url and a private/aliases . All the
CLI commands use HTTP on the backend, so they'll just speak to our prodnet
webapi node instead of a local one. You'll get 1x uploads and won't need to
maintain your own prodnet-connected node. (I don't know if the CLI tools can
speak SSL, but we'll find out, and I suppose it wouldn't be the end of the
world if it had to run over unencrypted HTTP).
