 There are no pre-built packages available for dapper or sarge, as these releases are too old to provide the necessary support packages (python-central, setuptools, etc). You can probably still install from source on these releases, however.

+
+While the tahoe package on edgy will install, it appears that the version of Nevow (0.7.0) which shipped with edgy is broken, preventing the tahoe node's webserver from running. The symptom is an exception at node startup that looks like this:
+
+{{{
+          File "/var/lib/python-support/python2.4/formless/annotate.py", line 17, in ?
+            from nevow.compy import Interface, MetaInterface
+        exceptions.ImportError: cannot import name MetaInterface
+}}}
+
+We do not yet know of a solid workaround for this. One suggestion is to comment out the "from allmydata.webish import WebishServer" line from allmydata/client.py and not use the 'webport' feature. Another is to modify formless/annotate.py and try to fix that import problem. A third is to find a backport of a newer version of nevow.
