This way, once it switches to the new repo, the user can switch back to the
old one, and its menu will allow switching to the new again.
However, if there are multiple repos, the others don't yet learn about the
new repo.
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.
For no apparent reason, this version removes all useful instances of
ToJavaScript, leavind behind only an instance for Aeson.Value. Argh. Pissed
off at this arbitrary breaking change, and seriously considering dropping
this library.
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.
Currently have three old versions of functions that more reworking is
needed to remove: getDaemonStatusOld, modifyDaemonStatusOld_, and
modifyDaemonStatusOld
Converted several threads to run in the monad.
Added a lot of useful combinators for working with the monad.
Now the monad includes the name of the thread.
Some debugging messages are disabled pending converting other threads.
I now have this topology working:
assistant ---> {bare repo, special remote} <--- assistant
And, I think, also this one:
+----------- bare repo --------+
v v
assistant ---> special remote <--- assistant
While before with assistant <---> assistant connections, both sides got
location info updated after a transfer, in this topology, the bare repo
*might* get its location info updated, but the other assistant has no way to
know that it did. And a special remote doesn't record location info,
so transfers to it won't propigate out location log changes at all.
So, for these to work, after a transfer succeeds, the git-annex branch
needs to be pushed. This is done by recording a synthetic commit has
occurred, which lets the pusher handle pushing out the change (which will
include actually committing any still journalled changes to the git-annex
branch).
Of course, this means rather a lot more syncing action than happened
before. At least the pusher bundles together very close together pushes,
somewhat. Currently it just waits 2 seconds between each push.
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.
None-bare removable drive repos don't have the assistant running in them,
so don't get their master branch updated as syncs come in. This will
probably change later, but for now, set up something that works.
Also, set the description of a newly added drive's repo locally. This
ensures that the repo edit form has the description in it.
Although I observe that these toggles don't always prevent syncing.
When a transfer scan is active, it will still queue items from the disabled
remote.
Also, transfers from a disabled remote show up as from "unknown", which is
not ideal.
