This doesn't quite work, because canceling a transfer sends a signal
to git-annex, but not to rsync (etc).
Looked at making git-annex run in its own process group, which could then
be killed, and would kill child processes. But, rsync checks if it's
process group is the foreground process group and doesn't show progress if
not, and when git has run git-annex, if git-annex makes a new process
group, that is not the case. Also, if git has run git-annex, ctrl-c
wouldn't be propigated to it if it made a new process group.
So this seems like a blind alley, but recording it here just in case.
Should work (untested) for transfers being run by other processes.
Not yet by transfers being run by the assistant. killThread does not
kill processes forked off by a thread. To fix this, will probably
need to make `git annex getkey` and `git annex sendkey` commands that
operate on keys, and write their own transfer info. Then the assistant
can run them, and kill them, as needed.
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.
git annex assistant --autostart will start separate daemons in each
listed autostart repo
running the webapp outside any git-annex repo will open it on the
first listed autostart repo
Unifying poll results, it's Annex in lowercase. :)
When cwd is HOME, use ~/Desktop/annex, unless there's no Desktop directory;
then use use ~/annex
If cwd is not $HOME, use cwd
