OK, so this is extreme pedantry but I didn't think Twisted had the
concept of official reviewer :-)

There seems to be a policy, although I'm not sure if this is actually
written down anywhere, that for a branch/patch to be merged to trunk,
either the author should be a committer, or (one of) the reviewer(s)
should be a committer.

So, I guess an "official" reviewer would just be someone with commit access?

Re: [Twisted-Python] ANNOUNCING Tahoe, the Least-Authority File System, v1.7.0

Using "setup.py build" should not affect anything outside of your source 
directory: it should create a Twisted .egg and store/use it in the 
support/lib subdir of your Tahoe source checkout. Tahoe should be the 
only thing that sees the new Twisted.

In contrast, I suspect that "setup.py install" *would* install all the 
dependencies (as well as Tahoe itself) onto your system.

In general, just don't run anything as root, and you should be ok.

Well there's also virtualenv — won't it help?

I think it's pretty funny that you sent this to a twistedmatrix.com address :).

Some DNS caches are still propagating, but the issue was fixed around noon EST.

Re: [Twisted-Python] Twisted 10.1.0pre1 released -- please test!

I'd like to strongly encourage everyone subscribed to this list to respond to 
this request.

In particular, you should note that if Twisted 10.1.0 pre1 horribly breaks your 
software, you can pipe up and say "hey!  don't release it yet!", and we may 
listen to you.  Even if maybe you were calling some private APIs or doing 
something gross and weird, there will be time to talk about it.  If you 
discover a legitimate regression, where we've broken something that really 
should have been considered public, we will fix it before the final release.

On the other hand, if you don't test any prereleases, and you discover that 
your application is broken by Twisted 10.1 the day after the *final* release, 
you will be screwed.  We won't roll it back and we might not prioritize your 
regression particularly highly (unless you decide to become a particularly 
generous sponsor, of course ;-)).

If you have software that depends on Twisted, it is definitely in your best 
interest to test the pre-releases and let us know how it worked out.

For my part, I have some things which are broken by the prerelease, but the 
breakage is entirely the fault of other software, so I need to go fix that 
before I can offer any proper feedback.

If you have tried the pre-release and it works well, drop us a line and say so! 
 Positive results are useful too.

Thanks,

-glyph

That's funny. Could you please run:

python -c "import pkg_resources;print pkg_resources.require('Twisted')"

Do you have a ticket # for that bug?

Heh, right. Forgot this wasn't a google group. Anyway happy that this is now 
resolved.
