[Nix-dev] Tahoe-LAFS in NixOS

Folks:

I'm a developer of Tahoe-LAFS, which has been packaged for NixOS by  
Ludovic Courtès:

https://svn.nixos.org/repos/nix/nixpkgs/trunk/pkgs/tools/networking/ 
p2p/tahoe

I would like to add a NixOS buildslave to our buildbot farm:

http://allmydata.org/buildbot

That way we can be sure that each new patch that we commit to our  
darcs repository keeps Tahoe-LAFs working correctly on NixOS.  I just  
need someone to run a buildslave process on a NixOS machine for that.

Here is a message I sent today about the current set of platforms  
that we support:

http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-October/003085.html

In a related note, how can I see the commands that the Hydra build  
executed and the output that it got from the build?  I would like to  
understand how Hydra decides if the build has succeeded.  It would  
probably be good for it to decide that the build succeeded if "python  
setup.py test" exits with exit code 0.  :-)

Also there are a couple of details that ought to be cleared up: the  
official name of the package is "tahoe-lafs", not "tahoe" (the name  
had to be changed), and the licence includes an at-your-option choice  
of either GPL version 2 or greater or TGPPL version 1 or greater. See  
http://allmydata.org/source/tahoe/trunk/docs/about.html for details  
about that.

Thanks!

Regards,

Zooko
