This is a history of my attempts at running tahoe-lafs in a fresh pogoplug v4 with archlinuxarm: == v1.9.2 == Preparation: {{{ # #Can't go straight to building v1.10 from source without gcc, so go for the AUR-based package to get dependencies installed # #Install an AUR helper, python and build tools # pacman -S yaourt python2 gcc patch .. snip .. # #Make 'python2' available as 'python' # ln -s /usr/bin/python2 /usr/local/bin/python }}} Installation: {{{ # yaourt -S tahoe-lafs }}} This is the first list: {{{ ==> tahoe-lafs dependencies: - net-tools (already installed) - python2 (already installed) - python2-zope-interface>=3.6.5 (package found) - twisted (package found) - python2-pyasn1 (package found) - python2-crypto (package found) - pycryptopp (building from AUR) - nevow (building from AUR) - python2-foolscap (package found) - python2-simplejson (package found) - zfec (building from AUR) - python2-pyopenssl (package found) - pyutil (building from AUR) - python2-argparse (building from AUR) - zbase32 (building from AUR) - python2-mock>=0.6.0 (building from AUR) }}} Arch will then try to install each of these. Some packages do not list 'arm' as a valid/supported architecture, so you will have to manually edit the PKGBUILD file: {{{ ==> Continue building python2-mock ? [Y/n] ==> -------------------------------------- ==> ==> Building and installing package ==> WARNING: Building package as root is dangerous. Please run yaourt as a non-privileged user. ==> ERROR: python2-mock is not available for the 'arm' architecture. Note that many packages may need a line added to their PKGBUILD such as arch=('arm'). ==> ERROR: Makepkg was unable to build python2-mock. ==> Restart building python2-mock ? [y/N] ==> ------------------------------------- ==> y ==> Edit PKGBUILD ? [Y/n] ("A" to abort) ==> ------------------------------------ ==> y Please add $EDITOR to your environment variables for example: export EDITOR="vim" (in ~/.bashrc) (replace vim with your favorite editor) ==> Edit PKGBUILD with: vim .. [edited PKGBUILD and manually added 'arm' to the architectures] .. }}} The same happened to the following packages: {{{ pycryptopp zbase32 zfec }}} Eventually, all the dependencies will be installed. But my tahoe-lafs installation fails to complete because of some error: {{{ ==> Continue building tahoe-lafs ?

Stay tuned. == v1.10.0 == After you're done with all of that, try a standalone v1.10 again: {{{ $ unzip allmydata-tahoe-1.10.0.zip .. snip .. $ cd allmydata-tahoe-1.10.0 $ python setup.py build .. snip .. $ ./bin/tahoe --version allmydata-tahoe: 1.10.0 foolscap: 0.6.4 pycryptopp: 0.6.0.1206569328141510525648634803928199668821045408958 zfec: 1.4.24 Twisted: 13.0.0 Nevow: 0.10.0 zope.interface: unknown python: 2.7.4 platform: Linux-Arch_Linux_-armv5tel-32bit_ELF pyOpenSSL: 0.13 simplejson: 3.2.0 pycrypto: 2.6 pyasn1: 0.1.4 mock: 1.0.1 setuptools: 0.6c16dev4 }}} Still need to test web interface, storage node, etc. Also, the test suite will not complete: {{{ $ python setup.py trial running update_version no version-control data found, leaving _version.py alone running trial .. snip (version info) .. allmydata.test.test_backupdb BackupDB test_basic ...
