Hi Rohit & Jonas,<br><br>Debian packages are generated for tahoe, but getting them into repositories has not been automated yet, and I think there might be some missing dependencies (as packages) for the recent versions of tahoe. <br>
<br>I personnaly volunteer a buildbot client for this project and it generates the debian package (for lenny I think), but I'm not sure it gets copied to the repository. See <a href="http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/DownloadDebianPackages">http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/DownloadDebianPackages</a> for (out-of-date) instructions. At one point in time it was installable with the squeeze repos, now I think it's broken. See tickets : <br>

<a href="http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1095">http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1095</a><br><br>Ubuntu has 1.7 in it's official repositories. <br><br>Good luck, it would be nice indeed to get it working on debian (and by extension on a freedombox). <br>
<br>It is pretty powerful but it still has some performance problems and usability ones. Promising though. <br><br>Arthur<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Sun, Oct 24, 2010 at 9:04 PM, rohit mehta <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:rohitm@engr.uconn.edu">rohitm@engr.uconn.edu</a>></span> wrote:<br>

Hi Jonas, you are right it does appear that tahoe-lafs package is not
yet "officially" in Debian although there are package repositories and
it is in the Ubuntu repositories.<br>
<br>
I read this: <a href="http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544338" target="_blank">http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=544338</a><br>
<br>
But I'm not sure I understand what has to happen to get the Tahoe in
Debian officially. It does look very powerful.<br>

Last I checked (quite some time ago), TahoeFS looked quite interesting
feature-wise, but its coding and packaging was quite weird. So weird
that I gave up packaging it for Debian.
<br>
<br>
I find it important that software is distributed via Debian. That of
course shouldn't stop others from playing with non-Debian software.
<br>
<br>
...and hopefully I am all mistaken and the code is as wonderful as its
features :-)
