Worked on [[todo/extensible_addurl]] today. When `git annex addurl` is run,
|
||
|
|
remotes will be asked if they claim the url, and whichever remote does will
|
||
|
|
be used to download it, and location tracking will indicate that remote
|
||
|
|
contains the object. This is a masive 1000 line patch touching 30 files,
|
||
|
|
including follow-on changes in `rmurl` and `whereis` and even `rekey`.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It should now be possible to build an external special remote that handles
|
||
|
|
*.torrent and magnet: urls and passes them off to a bittorrent client for
|
||
|
|
download, for example.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Another use for this would be to make an external special remote that
|
||
|
|
uses youtube-dl or some other program than quvi for downloading web videos.
|
||
|
|
The builtin quvi support could probably be moved out of the web special
|
||
|
|
remote, to a separate remote. I haven't tried to do that yet.
