= Welcome to Allmydata "Tahoe" =

The [http://allmydata.com Allmydata] "Tahoe" project is a scalable, distributed, fault-tolerant filestore, distributed under a free-software license.

The basic idea is that the data in this filesystem is spread over all
participating nodes, using an algorithm that can recover the data even if a
majority of the nodes are no longer available.

The [source:trunk/README README] and the [source:trunk/relnotes.txt release notes] have a lot more detail.


== Tahoe resources ==

 * The code is available via darcs by running the following command:
{{{
darcs get http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk
}}}
 * Other related libraries are available in http://allmydata.org/source/
 * [http://allmydata.org/buildbot/ Buildbot]: current build status
 * ???: current [/tahoe-figleaf/ code coverage]
 * [/tahoe-figleaf-graph/hanford.allmydata.com-tahoe_figleaf.html Graph of code coverage]
 * The architectural[source:trunk/docs/architecture.txt overview] documents some of the design.
 * to install debian packages for etch, dapper, edgy, or feisty, add the following lines to
   your /etc/apt/sources.list, replacing the word DIST with etch, dapper, edgy, or feisty
   as appropriate:
{{{
deb http://allmydata.org/debian/  DIST  main tahoe
deb-src http://allmydata.org/debian/  DIST  main tahoe
}}}
   Then update and install the '''allmydata-tahoe''' package.
   These packages are generated each time the code is changed, and represent the most up-to-date
   (read "unstable") version available. The usual warnings about no guarantees apply: it might cause
   your computer to catch fire, might steal your dog, etc.
  * we need to set up an etch buildslave, as we don't currently have one running
 * TahoeIssues contains some discussion, open issues, and more docs
