## separate daemon?
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
A `gathd` could contain all the telehash specific code, and git-annex
|
||||||
|
communicate with it via a local socket.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Advantages:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* `git annex sync` could also use the running daemon
|
||||||
|
* `git-remote-telehash` could use the running daemon
|
||||||
|
* c-telehash might end up linked to openssl, which has licence combination
|
||||||
|
problems with git-annex. A separate process not using git-annex's code
|
||||||
|
would avoid this.
|
||||||
|
* Allows the daemon to be written in some other language if necessary
|
||||||
|
(for example, if c-telehash development stalls and the nodejs version is
|
||||||
|
already usable)
|
||||||
|
* Potentially could be generalized to handle other similar protocols.
|
||||||
|
Or even the xmpp code moved into it.
|
||||||
|
* Security holes in telehash would not need to compromise the entire
|
||||||
|
git-annex. gathd could be sandboxed in one way or another.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Disadvantages:
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
* Adds a memcopy when large files are being transferred through telehash.
|
||||||
|
Unlikely to be a bottleneck.
|
||||||
|
* Adds some complexity.
|
||||||
|
* What IPC to use on Windows? Might have to make git-annex communicate
|
||||||
|
with it over its stdin/stdout there.
