+# Tahoe-LAFS actually does work at least as well as any package works when
+# zipped, but zipping eggs causes various problems
+# (http://bugs.python.org/setuptools/issue33 ), and generally makes it harder
+# for people to get at the source code, and doesn't actually provide any
+# benefits that I am aware of.

+
+# Tahoe-LAFS depends upon several libraries (foolscap, twisted, pycryptopp,
+# zfec, and others). Left to its own devices, setuptools will look on PyPI for
+# these and will download them at build time. The 'find_links=' entry in
+# setup.cfg causes setuptools to look for these dependent tarballs in
+# tahoe-deps/ and ../tahoe-deps/ before it resorts to downloading them from
+# PyPI.
+
+# https://tahoe-lafs.org/source/tahoe-lafs/deps/tahoe-deps.tar.gz contains a
+# bundle of these dependencies (as Python source distributions or "sdists").
+# So it you want to avoid the build-time download (say, if you're on an
+# airplane, or a desert island), just grab a copy and unpack it in your tahoe
+# source tree.
+
+# Alternatively, if you're building from a release/nightly tarball instead of
+# a git tree, the 'sumo' tarball variant will include all of these
+# dependencies in the tahoe-deps/ directory.
