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.
Monitors git-annex branch for changes, which are noticed by the Merger
thread whenever the branch ref is changed (either due to an incoming push,
or a local change), and refreshes cached config values for modified config
files.
Rate limited to run no more often than once per minute. This is important
because frequent git-annex branch changes happen when files are being
added, or transferred, etc.
A primary use case is that, when preferred content changes are made,
and get pushed to remotes, the remotes start honoring those settings.
Other use cases include propigating repository description and trust
changes to remotes, and learning when a remote has added a new special
remote, so the webapp can present the GUI to enable that special remote
locally.
Also added a uuid.log cache. All other config files already had caches.
This can result in the file being dropped, or being downloaded, or even
being dropped from some other repo.
It's even possible to create a file in a directory where content is not
wanted, which will make the assistant immediately send it elsewhere, and
then drop it.
