Would like to also have restart UI, but that's rather harder to do,
seems it'd need to start another copy of the webapp, and redirect the
browser to its new url, but running two assistants in the same repo at
the same time isn't good.
Now there's a Config type, that's extracted from the git config at startup.
Note that laziness means that individual config values are only looked up
and parsed on demand, and so we get implicit memoization for all of them.
So this is not only prettier and more type safe, it optimises several
places that didn't have explicit memoization before. As well as getting rid
of the ugly explicit memoization code.
Not yet done for annex.<remote>.* configuration settings.
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.
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.
Pair requests are sent on all network interfaces, and contain the best
available hostname to use to contact the host on that interface.
Added a pairing in progress page.
Revert "reduce some boilerplate using ghc extensions", because it caused
overlapping instances for Text.
This commit includes a paydown on technical debt incurred two years ago,
when I didn't know that it was bad to make custom Read and Show instances
for types. As the routes need Read and Show for Transfer, which includes a
Key, and deriving my own Read instance of key was not practical,
I had to finally clean that up.
So the compact Key read and show functions are now file2key and key2file,
and Read and Show are now derived instances.
Changed all code that used the old instances, compiler checked.
(There were a few places, particularly in Command.Unused, and the test
suite where the Show instance continue to be used for legitimate
comparisons; ie show key_x == show key_y (though really in a bloom filter))
This should work on linux (xdg-open) and OSX (open). If the program
is not in $PATH, it falls back to opening a browser window/tab with file:///
The only tricky bit is the javascript code, that handles clicking on the
link. This is to avoid unnecessary page refreshes. Until I added the
return false at the end, the <a>'s normal click event also fired, so two
file browsers opened. I have not checked portability extensively.
