Ticket #729: tahoe-backup-tolerate-errors.dpatch

Sun Jan 10 02:38:18 CET 2010  francois@ctrlaltdel.ch
  * tahoe_backup.py: display warnings on errors instead of stopping the whole backup
  
  This patch displays a warning to the user in two cases:
  
    1. If special files like symlinks, fifos, devices, etc. are found in the
    directory being backupped.
  
    2. If files or directories are not reabable by the user running the 'tahoe
    backup' command.

[contrib/fuse/runtests.py: Tolerate the tahoe CLI returning deprecation warnings
francois@ctrlaltdel.ch**20100109175946
 Ignore-this: 419c354d9f2f6eaec03deb9b83752aee
 
 Depending on the versions of external libraries such as Twisted of Foolscap,
 the tahoe CLI can display deprecation warnings on stdout.  The tests should
 not interpret those warnings as a failure if the node is in fact correctly
 started.
   
 See http://allmydata.org/trac/tahoe/ticket/859 for an example of deprecation
 warnings.

 instead of weird errors. Closes #874 and #786.
 
 Previously, if the file had 0 shares, this would raise TypeError as it tried
 to call download_version(None). If the file had some shares but fewer than
 'k', it would incorrectly raise MustForceRepairError.
 
 Added get_successful() to the IRepairResults API, to give repair() a place to
 report non-code-bug problems like this.

[checker: don't let failures in add-lease affect checker results. Closes #875.

 Ignore-this: ef1a367b93e4d01298c2b1e6ca59c492
 
 Mutable servermap updates and the immutable checker, when run with
 add_lease=True, send both the do-you-have-block and add-lease commands in
 parallel, to avoid an extra round trip time. Many older servers have problems
 with add-lease and raise various exceptions, which don't generally matter.
 The client-side code was catching+ignoring some of them, but unrecognized
 exceptions were passed through to the DYHB code, concealing the DYHB results
 from the checker, making it think the server had no shares.
 
 The fix is to separate the code paths. Both commands are sent at the same
 time, but the errback path from add-lease is handled separately. Known
 exceptions are ignored, the others (both unknown-remote and all-local) are
 logged (log.WEIRD, which will trigger an Incident), but neither will affect
 the DYHB results.
 
 The add-lease message is sent first, and we know that the server handles them
 synchronously. So when the checker is done, we can be sure that all the
 add-lease messages have been retired. This makes life easier for unit tests.

 The webapi has been looking for an Accept header since 1.4.0, but it treats a
 missing header as equal to */* (to honor RFC2616). This change finally
 modifies our CLI tools to ask for "text/plain, application/octet-stream",
 which seems roughly correct (we either want a plain-text traceback or error
 message, or an uninterpreted chunk of binary data to save to disk). Some day
 we'll figure out how JSON fits into this scheme.

 This is safer: in the earlier API, an old webapi server would silently ignore
 the initial children, and clients trying to set them would have to fetch the
 newly-created directory to discover the incompatibility. In the new API,
 clients using t=mkdir-with-children against an old webapi server will get a

 We need to carefully document the licence of figleaf in order to get Tahoe-LAFS into Ubuntu Karmic Koala.  However, figleaf isn't really a part of Tahoe-LAFS per se -- this is just a "convenience copy" of a development tool.  The quickest way to make Tahoe-LAFS acceptable for Karmic then, is to remove figleaf from the Tahoe-LAFS tarball itself.  People who want to run figleaf on Tahoe-LAFS (as everyone should want) can install figleaf themselves.  I haven't tested this -- there may be incompatibilities between upstream figleaf and the copy that we had here...
