Thanks, Jared. Not a problem. Since this is simple testing, I can work with 0.14.0. My production server (EC2/Ubuntu) is built from 0.14.2 source, so I have no serious concern here. That said, I'd advise fixing the link on that web page, to avoid future questions. Cheers, -g On Mon, Sep 5, 2011

Riak 0.14.2 was not built for OSX unfortunately. Before now, the OSX builds were simply done by hand by doing a 'make rel' and packaging the results of the 'rel/riak' directory. This manual step was not done for 0.14.1 or 0.14.2. OSX packaging has been added to riak mainline now though, so al

Well... I'm looking at some work on transports/http.py and that host/port is passed around *as if* there is a possibility/reason to vary the values. But when you get down to it, .http_request can just use ._host and ._port, and we can eliminate these spurious parameters from thought. In particular
