Hi y'all, brief status notes this week
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* Index
|
||
|
|
1) 0.6.1.26 and network status
|
||
|
|
2) Syndie development status
|
||
|
|
3) Distributed version control revisited
|
||
|
|
4) ???
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 1) 0.6.1.26 and network status
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The other day we pushed out a new 0.6.1.26 release, including lots
|
||
|
|
of i2psnark improvements from zzz and some new NTP safety checks
|
||
|
|
from Complication, and reports have been positive. The network
|
||
|
|
seems to be growing slightly with no new odd effects, though some
|
||
|
|
people still have trouble building their tunnels (as has always
|
||
|
|
been the case).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 2) Syndie development status
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
More and more improvements have been coming down the line, with
|
||
|
|
the current alpha version sitting at 0.910a. The feature list
|
||
|
|
for 1.0 is pretty much met, so right now its largely bugfixing
|
||
|
|
and documentation. Swing on by #i2p if you want to help test :)
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also, there have been some discussions on the channel for designs
|
||
|
|
of the Syndie GUI - meerboop has come up with some cool ideas, and
|
||
|
|
is working on docing them up. The Syndie GUI is the main component
|
||
|
|
of the Syndie 2.0 release, so the sooner we get that rolling, the
|
||
|
|
sooner we take over the worl^W^W^W^W can push Syndie out on the
|
||
|
|
unsuspecting masses.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There's also a new proposal in my Syndie blog regarding bug and
|
||
|
|
feature request tracking using Syndie itself. For ease of access,
|
||
|
|
I've made a plain text export of that post up on the web - page 1
|
||
|
|
is at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://dev.i2p.net/~jrandom/bugsp1.txt">http://dev.i2p.net/~jrandom/bugsp1.txt</a> and page 2 is at
|
||
|
|
<a rel="nofollow" href="http://dev.i2p.net/~jrandom/bugsp2.txt">http://dev.i2p.net/~jrandom/bugsp2.txt</a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 3) Distributed version control revisited
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
One of the things still to be sorted out for Syndie is the public
|
||
|
|
revision control system to use, and as mentioned before, distributed
|
||
|
|
and offline functionality is necessary. I've been going through the
|
||
|
|
half dozen or so open source ones out there (darcs, mercurial,
|
||
|
|
git/cogito, monotone, arch, bzr, codeville), digging through their
|
||
|
|
docs, trying them out, and talking with their devs. Right now,
|
||
|
|
monotone and bzr seem to be the best in terms of functionality and
|
||
|
|
safety (with untrusted repositories, we need strong crypto to make
|
||
|
|
sure we are only pulling authentic changes), and monotone's tight
|
||
|
|
crypto integration seems very appealing. Still working through the
|
||
|
|
several hundred pages of docs though, but from what I've discussed
|
||
|
|
with the monotone devs, they seem to be doing everything Right.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course, no matter what dvcs we end up going with, all releases
|
||
|
|
will be made available in plain tarball format, and patches will
|
||
|
|
be accepted for review in plain diff -uw format. But still, for
|
||
|
|
those who might consider getting involved in the development, I'd
|
||
|
|
love to hear your thoughts and preferences.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
* 4) ???
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
As you can see, lots going on, as always. There's been further
|
||
|
|
discussion on that "solve world hunger" thread on the forum, too,
|
||
|
|
so check it out at <a rel="nofollow" href="http://forum.i2p.net/viewtopic.php?t=1910">http://forum.i2p.net/viewtopic.php?t=1910</a>
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
If you've got something further to discuss, please swing on by #i2p
|
||
|
|
for our dev meeting tonight, or post up to the forum or list!
