This adds a dep on haskell's async library, but since that's been
added to the recent haskell platform release, it should not be
much hardship to my poor long-suffering library chasing users.
Wrote a better git remote name sanitizer. Git blows up on lots of weird
stuff, especially if it starts the remote name, but I managed to get
some common punctuation working.
Adjust build deps to ensure that only a fixed version of the library will
be used.
Also, removed the bound thread stuff, which I now think was (probably)
a red herring.
MountWatcher can't do this, because it uses the session dbus,
and won't have access to the new DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS if a new session
is started.
Bumped dbus library version, FD leak in it is fixed.
For now, when dbus goes away, the assistant keeps running but does not fall
back or reconnect. To do so needs more changes to the DBus library; in
particular a connectSessionWith and connectSystemWith to let me specify
my own clientThreadRunner.
So, it might be called sha1sum, or on some other OS, it might be called
sha1. It might be hidden away off of PATH on that OS. That's just expected
insanity; UNIX has been this way since 1980's. And these days, nobody even
gives the flying flip about standards that we briefly did in the 90's
after the first round of unix wars.
But it's the 2010's now, and we've certainly learned something.
So, let's make it so sometimes sha1 is a crazy program that wants to run as
root so it can lock memory while prompting for a passphrase, and outputting
binary garbage. Yes, that'd be wise. Let's package that in major Linux
distros, too, so users can stumble over it.
bup 0.25 does not accept that; and bup split reads from stdin by
default if no file is given. I'm not sure what version of bup changed this.
This only affected bup special remotes that were encrypted.
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.
in= was problimatic in two ways. First, it referred to a remote by name,
but preferred content expressions can be evaluated elsewhere, where that
remote doesn't exist, or a different remote has the same name. This name
lookup code could error out at runtime. Secondly, in= seemed pretty useless.
in=here did not cause content to be gotten, but it did let present content
be dropped.
present is more useful, although "not present" is unstable and should be
avoided.
When in a subdir, both the normal filepath, and the filepath relative to
the top of the git repo are needed for matching. The former for key lookup,
and the latter for include/exclude to match against. Previously, key lookup
didn't work in this situation.
The old code was just wrong in taking fromPath of GIT_DIR -- that made an
localUnknown location with the GIT_DIR in it, which only worked by
accident, and failed in submodules.
Now that this is handled correctly, git-annex can be used in git submodules.
Also, fixed infelicity where Git.CurrentRepo and Git.Config.updateLocation
were both dealing with core.worktree. Now updateLocation handles it for
Local as well as for LocalUnknown repos.
Aka solve the github problem.
Note that it's possible the initial configlist will fail for some network
reason etc, and then the fetch succeeds. In this case, a usable remote gets
disabled. But it does print a message, and this only happens once per
remote, so that seems ok.
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.
