I noticed that when my modem hung up and redialed, my xmpp client was left
sending messages into the void. This will also handle any idle
disconnection issues.
(Except for the actual streaming of receive-pack through XMPP, which
can only run once we've gotten an appropriate uuid in a push initiation
message.)
Pushes are now only initiated when the initiation message comes from a
known uuid. This allows multiple distinct repositories to use the same xmpp
address.
Note: This probably breaks initial push after xmpp pairing, because at that
point we may not know about the paired uuid, and so reject the push from
it. It won't break in simple cases, because the annex-uuid of the remote
is checked. However, when there are multiple clients behind a single xmpp
address, only uuid of the first is recorded in annex-uuid, and so any
pushes from the others will be rejected (unless the first remote pushes their
uuids to us beforehand.
Noticed that, At startup or network reconnect, git push messages were sent,
often before presence info has been gathered, so were not sent to any
buddies.
To fix this, keep track of which buddies have seen such messages,
and when new presence is received from a buddy that has not yet seen it,
resend.
This is done only for push initiation messages, so very little data needs
to be stored.
Make manualPull send push requests over XMPP.
When reconnecting with remotes, those that are XMPP remotes cannot
immediately be pulled from and scanned, so instead maintain a set of
(probably) desynced remotes, and put XMPP remotes on it. (This set could be
used in other ways later, if we can detect we're out of sync with other
types of remotes.)
The merger handles detecting when a XMPP push is received from a desynced
remote, and triggers a scan then, if they have in fact diverged.
This has one known bug: A single XMPP remote can have multiple clients
behind it. When this happens, only the UUID of one client is recorded
as the UUID of the XMPP remote. Pushes from the other XMPP clients will not
trigger a scan. If the client whose UUID is expected responds to the push
request, it'll work, but when that client is offline, we're SOL.
Noticed that when pairing, sometimes both sides start to push, and the other
side sends a PushRequest, and the two deadlock, neither doing anything.
(Timeout eventually breaks this.) So, let both run at the same time.
This should help prevent git-annex clients receiving messages that
were intended for normal clients they're sharing the account with.
Changed XMPP protocol use to always send chat messages directed at the
specific client, as the negative priority blocks less directed messages.
It might even work, although nothing yet triggers XMPP pushes.
Also added a set of deferred push messages. Only one push can run at a
time, and unrelated push messages get deferred. The set will never grow
very large, because it only puts two types of messages in there, that
can only vary in the client doing the push.
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.
Amusingly, I am not really using xmpp ping for pairing. I forgot to put in
the ping tag! And when I did, it stopped working, on Google Talk. Seems
it handles client to client pings, at least using the same JID, without
actually sending them to the end client. My mistake avoided this,
and seems to work, so I've left it as-is for now, with just the git-annex
tag in an IQ message. Also tested on prosody.
