Maybe the spec allows it, but broadcasting self-directed presence info to
all buddies is just insane.
I had to bring back the IQ messages for self-pairing, while still using
directed presence for other pairing. Ugly.
Testing between Google Talk and prosody, the directed IQ messages
were not received. Google Talk probably only relays them between
clients using the same account.
I first tried even more directed presence, with each client JID being sent
a separate presence, but that didn't work on Google Talk, particularly
it was ignored when one client sent it to another client using the same
account.
So, presence directed at the user@host of the client to pair with. Tested
working between Google Talk and prosody (in both directions), as well
as between two clients with the same account on Google Talk, and
two clients with the same account on prosody.
Only problem with this form of directed presence is that if I also use it
for git pushes, more clients than are interested in a push's data will
receive it. So I may need some better approach, or a hybrid between
directed IQ and directed presence.
Currently have three old versions of functions that more reworking is
needed to remove: getDaemonStatusOld, modifyDaemonStatusOld_, and
modifyDaemonStatusOld
Converted several threads to run in the monad.
Added a lot of useful combinators for working with the monad.
Now the monad includes the name of the thread.
Some debugging messages are disabled pending converting other threads.
I now have this topology working:
assistant ---> {bare repo, special remote} <--- assistant
And, I think, also this one:
+----------- bare repo --------+
v v
assistant ---> special remote <--- assistant
While before with assistant <---> assistant connections, both sides got
location info updated after a transfer, in this topology, the bare repo
*might* get its location info updated, but the other assistant has no way to
know that it did. And a special remote doesn't record location info,
so transfers to it won't propigate out location log changes at all.
So, for these to work, after a transfer succeeds, the git-annex branch
needs to be pushed. This is done by recording a synthetic commit has
occurred, which lets the pusher handle pushing out the change (which will
include actually committing any still journalled changes to the git-annex
branch).
Of course, this means rather a lot more syncing action than happened
before. At least the pusher bundles together very close together pushes,
somewhat. Currently it just waits 2 seconds between each push.
Currently relies on SRV being set, or the JID's hostname being the server
hostname and the port being default. Future work: Allow manual
configuration of user name, hostname, and port.
None-bare removable drive repos don't have the assistant running in them,
so don't get their master branch updated as syncs come in. This will
probably change later, but for now, set up something that works.
Also, set the description of a newly added drive's repo locally. This
ensures that the repo edit form has the description in it.
Although I observe that these toggles don't always prevent syncing.
When a transfer scan is active, it will still queue items from the disabled
remote.
Also, transfers from a disabled remote show up as from "unknown", which is
not ideal.
This reserves annex.ignore for repos that should not be visible at all;
repos with syncing disabled are now skipped by the assistant, but are
displayed in the list and can be configured.
I'm using transfer for most things, both removable drives and cloud
storage, because it's the safest choice. We'll see if it makes sense
to prompt for the group when setting this up, or let the user pick
something else after the fact.
webapp: Adds newly created repositories to one of these groups:
clients, drives, servers
This is heuristic, but it's a pretty good heuristic, and can always be
configured.
This was needed for the OSX self-contained app, but is a generally good
idea. It avoids needing perl; is probably faster; and could eventually
be replaced by something faster yet.
This means that anyone serving up the webapp to users as a service
(ie, without providing any git-annex binary at all to the user) still needs
to provide a link to the source code for it, including any modifications
they may make.
This may make git-annex be covered by the AGPL as a whole when it is built
with the webapp. If in doubt, you should ask a lawyer.
When git-annex is built with the webapp disabled, no AGPLed code is used.
Even building in the assistant does not pull in AGPLed code.
Now other repositories can configure special remotes, and when their
configuration has propigated out, they'll appear in the webapp's list of
repositories, with a link to enable them.
Added support for enabling rsync special remotes, and directory special
remotes that are on removable drives. However, encrypted directory special
remotes are not supported yet. The removable drive configuator doesn't
support them yet anyway.
Finally.
Last bug fixes here: Send PairResp with same UUID in the PairReq.
Fix off-by-one in code that filters out our own pairing messages.
Also reworked the pairing alerts, which are still slightly buggy.
Pair requests the the same UUID are part of the same pairing session,
which allows us to detect attempts to brute force the shared secret,
as that will result in pair requests with the same UUID that are
not verified with the right secret.
They work fine. But I had to go to a lot of trouble to get Yesod to render
routes in a pure function. It may instead make more sense to have each
alert have an assocated IO action, and a single route that runs the IO
action of a given alert id. I just wish I'd realized that before the past
several hours of struggling with something Yesod really doesn't want to
allow.
