Dev

Everything you need to know to hack on Tahoe.

• The tahoe-dev mailing list is the community forum for discussion of Tahoe design, implementation, and usage.

• The ​buildbot page shows current build and test results.

• The Timeline (linked at the top of each page) has extensive details about changes to the source code, the issue tickets, and the wiki (i.e. this web site).

• The ​darcs patch browser allows you to answer questions like "Which lines did this patch change?" and "Which patches changed this line?".

• The code coverage statistics show which lines of code get exercised by the unit tests.
  • Archived data is also available.
  • So is a graph of code coverage over time.

• The zfec-dev mailing list is specific to the zfec erasure-coding library.

Testnet Statistics

Usage statistics are available for the public testnet.

• dirnodes: count of directory nodes in the grid
• files: count of files stored in the grid
• shares per file: average shares per file, this hints at the size of the overall grid. If the number of hosts in the grid is less than 100, then shares_per_file should equal 100/numhost
• storage space: total bytes consumed by all storage servers
