Hi Rohit & Jonas,

Debian packages are generated for tahoe, but getting them into repositories
has not been automated yet, and I think there might be some missing
dependencies (as packages) for the recent versions of tahoe.

I personnaly volunteer a buildbot client for this project and it generates
the debian package (for lenny I think), but I'm not sure it gets copied to
the repository. See
http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/wiki/DownloadDebianPackages for
(out-of-date) instructions. At one point in time it was installable with the
squeeze repos, now I think it's broken. See tickets :

http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1088
http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1096
http://tahoe-lafs.org/trac/tahoe-lafs/ticket/1095

Ubuntu has 1.7 in it's official repositories.

Good luck, it would be nice indeed to get it working on debian (and by
extension on a freedombox).

It is pretty powerful but it still has some performance problems and
usability ones. Promising though.

Arthur
