The [[external_special_remote|special_remotes/external]] interface is now
|
||
|
|
done, and tested working great! Now we just need all the old hook special
|
||
|
|
remotes to be converted to use it..
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I punted on per-special-remote, per-key state storage in the git-annex
|
||
|
|
branch for now. If I find an example of a remote that needs it (Tahoe-LAFS
|
||
|
|
may, but still TBD), I'll add it. Added suppport for using the same
|
||
|
|
credential storage that git-annex uses for S3 and WebDAV credentials.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
The main improvement I'd like to make is to add an interface for transferring
|
||
|
|
files where the file is streamed to/from the external special remote,
|
||
|
|
rather than using temp files as it does now. This would be more efficient
|
||
|
|
(sometimes) and make the progress bars better. But it needs to either use a
|
||
|
|
named pipe, which is complicated and non-portable, or serialize the file's
|
||
|
|
contents over a currently line-based protocol, which would be a pain.
|
||
|
|
Anyway, this can be added later, the protocol is extensible.
