There was one forkProcess lurking in test.hs, and that seems to be
responsible for recent buildd failures on amd64 and armhf. I was able to
reproduce it pretty easily on amd64, and even once on i386, and it was
clearly that same bad old threaded runtime hang. So removing this
forkProcess should fix it. Odd that it lurked for some months before
popping up.
Setting GIT_INDEX_FILE clobbers the rest of the environment, making git
not read ~/.gitconfig, and blow up if GECOS didn't have a name for the
user.
I'm not entirely happy with getEnvironment being run every time now,
that's somewhat expensive. It may make sense to just set GIT_COMMITTER_*
and GIT_AUTHOR_*, but I worry that clobbering the rest could break PATH,
or GIT_PATH, or something else that might be used by a command run in here.
And caching the environment is not a good idea either; it can change..
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.
Both when queueing downloads, and uploads, consults the preferred content
settings.
I didn't make it check yet when requeing failed transfers or queuing
deferred downloads; dealing with the preferred content settings (or indeed,
other settings) changing while the assistant is running still needs work.
Incomplete; I need to finish parsing and saving. This will also be used
for editing transfer control expresssions.
Removed the group display from the status output, I didn't really
like that format, and vicfg can be used to see as well as edit rempository
group membership.
Makes it safe to use git annex unlock with the watcher/assistant.
And also to mix use of the watcher/assistant with regular files stored in git.
Long ago, I had avoided doing this check, except during the startup scan,
because it would be slow to run ls-files repeatedly.
But then I added the lsof check, and to make that fast, got it to detect
batch file adds. So let's move the ls-files check to also occur when it'll
have a batch, and can check them all with one call.
This does slow down adding a single file by just a bit, but really only
a little bit. (The lsof check is probably more expensive.) It also
speeds up the startup scan, especially when there are lots of new files
found by the scan.
Also, fixed the sleep for annex.delayadd to not run while the threadstate
lock is held, so it doesn't unnecessarily freeze everything else.
Also, --force no longer makes it skip the lsof check, which was not
documented, and seems never a good idea.
At recommends it causes avahi-daemon to be pulled in on upgrade, which is
just too annoying to deal with avoiding on servers. MDNS is needed for
robust peering, but probably most desktop systems have it anyway; it's in
task-desktop.
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.
This fixes a problem I was seeing in the assistant where two remotes would
attempt to sync with one another at the same time, and both failed pushing
the diverged git-annex branch. Then when both tried to resolve the failed
push, they each modified their git-annex branch, which again each blocked
the other from pushing into it. The result was that the git-annex
branches were perpetually diverged (despite having the same content!) and
once the assistant fell into this trap, it couldn't get out and always
had to do the slow push/fail/pull/merge/push/fail cycle.
