Currently, git-annex takes a very lazy approch to displaying
|
|
|
|
|
progress into. It just lets rsync or whatever display the progress
|
|
|
|
|
for it, in the terminal.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Something better is needed for the [[webapp]]. There needs to be a
|
|
|
|
|
way for the web app to know what the current progress is of all transfers.

This is one of those potentially hidden but time consuming problems.

* Watch temp file as it's coming in and use its size.
|
|
|
|
|
This is the only option for some special remotes (ie, non-rsync).
|
|
|
|
|
Can either poll every .5 seconds or so to check file size, or
|

could use inotify. **done**

Each individual remote type needs to implement its own support for calling
|
2012-09-21 23:25:06 -04:00
|
|
|
the MeterUpdate callback as the upload progresses.

too complicated. So skipping.

## communication
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
It may be worth using a better communication channel than files on disk for
|
|
|
|
|
the transfer progress. Shared memory could be used, or http posts to the
|
|
|
|
|
webapp.
