The icon files will be installed when running make install or cabal
install. Did not try to run update-icon-caches, since I think it's debian
specific, and dh_icons will take care of that for the Debian package.
Using the favicon as a 16x16 icon. At 24x24 the svg displays pretty well,
although the dotted lines are rather faint. The svg is ok at all higher
resolutions.
The standalone linux build auto-installs the desktop and autostart files
when run. I have not made it auto-install the icon file too, because
a) that would take more work to include them in the tarball and find them
b) it would need to be an install to ~/.icons/, and I don't know if that
really works!
This is a compromise. I would like to nice every thread except for the
webapp thread, but it's not practical to do so. That would need every
thread to run as a bound thread, which could add significant overhead.
And any forkIO would escape the nice level.
Fuzz tests have shown that git cat-file --batch sometimes stops running.
It's not yet known why (no error message; repo seems ok). But this is
something we can deal with in the CoProcess framework, since all 3 types of
long-running git processes should be restartable if they fail.
Note that, as implemented, only IO errors are caught. So an error thrown
by the reveiver, when it sees something that is not valid output from
git cat-file (etc) will not cause a restart. I don't want it to retry
if git commands change their output or are just outputting garbage.
This does mean that if the command did a partial output and crashed in the
middle, it would still not be restarted.
There is currently no guard against restarting a command repeatedly, if,
for example, it crashes repeatedly on startup.
The current manual mode preferred content expression is:
"present and (((exclude=*/archive/* and exclude=archive/*) or (not (copies=archive:1 or copies=smallarchive:1))) or (not copies=semitrusted+:1))"
The old matcher misparsed this, to basically:
OR (present and (...)) (not copies=semitrusted+:1))
The paren handling and indeed the whole conversion from tokens to the
matcher was just wrong. The new way may not be the cleverest, but I think
it is correct, and you can see how it pattern matches structurally against
the expressions when parsing them.
That expression is now parsed to:
MAnd (MOp <function>)
(MOr (MOr (MAnd (MOp <function>) (MOp <function>)) (MNot (MOr (MOp <function>) (MOp <function>))))
(MNot (MOp <function>)))
Which appears correct, and behaves correct in testing.
Also threw in a simplifier, so the final generated Matcher has less
unnecessary clutter in it. Mostly so that I could more easily read &
confirm them.
Also, added a simple test of the Matcher to the test suite.
There is a small chance of badly formed preferred content expressions
behaving differently than before due to this rewrite.
I hope this will be easier to reason about, and less buggy. It was
certianly easier to write!
An immediate benefit is that with a traversable queue of push requests to
select from, the threads can be a lot fairer about choosing which client to
service next.
As seen in this bug report, the lifted exception handling using the StateT
monad throws away state changes when an action throws an exception.
http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/git_annex_fork_bombs_on_gpg_file/
.. Which can result in cached values being redundantly calculated, or other
possibly worse bugs when the annex state gets out of sync with reality.
This switches from a StateT AnnexState to a ReaderT (MVar AnnexState).
All changes to the state go via the MVar. So when an Annex action is
running inside an exception handler, and it makes some changes, they
immediately go into affect in the MVar. If it then throws an exception
(or even crashes its thread!), the state changes are still in effect.
The MonadCatchIO-transformers change is actually only incidental.
I could have kept on using lifted-base for the exception handling.
However, I'd have needed to write a new instance of MonadBaseControl
for the new monad.. and I didn't write the old instance.. I begged Bas
and he kindly sent it to me. Happily, MonadCatchIO-transformers is
able to derive a MonadCatchIO instance for my monad.
This is a deep level change. It passes the test suite! What could it break?
Well.. The most likely breakage would be to code that runs an Annex action
in an exception handler, and *wants* state changes to be thrown away.
Perhaps the state changes leaves the state inconsistent, or wrong. Since
there are relatively few places in git-annex that catch exceptions in the
Annex monad, and the AnnexState is generally just used to cache calculated
data, this is unlikely to be a problem.
Oh yeah, this change also makes Assistant.Types.ThreadedMonad a bit
redundant. It's now entirely possible to run concurrent Annex actions in
different threads, all sharing access to the same state! The ThreadedMonad
just adds some extra work on top of that, with its own MVar, and avoids
such actions possibly stepping on one-another's toes. I have not gotten
rid of it, but might try that later. Being able to run concurrent Annex
actions would simplify parts of the Assistant code.
That's needed in files used to build the configure program.
For the other files, I'm keeping my __WINDOWS__ define, as I find that much easier to type.
I may search and replace it to use the mingw32_HOST_OS thing later.
Run the same code git-annex used to get the sha, including its sanity
checking. Much better than old grep. Should detect FreeBSD systems with
sha commands that output in stange format.
For an unknown reason, getAddrInfo currently is segfaulting. Note that
in February, I had used warpDebug, which uses getAddrInfo, and it worked.
Don't know if my toolchain has changed and broke it, or it's due to having
a different Android device now. Anyway, work around it by hardcoding the
address to use.
This caused the code to fail on Android, which doesn't know that flag.
It seems best to let the OS default flags be used. Tested working ok on
Linux. The only difference on Linux is it might return a v4mapped ipv6
address sometimes.
This better handles error messages formatted for console display, by
adding a <br> after each line.
Hmm, I wonder if it'd be worth pulling in a markdown formatter, and running
the messages through it?
I have a report that this is necessary for freebsd.
It seemed not necessary for OSX, but even there the kqueue
man page says to include this header (along with sys/time.h
which it already does).
This looks at the string one char at a time, which is hardly efficient..
but more than good enough for expanding variables in
relatively short command lines.
Unless highRandomQuality=false (or --fast) is set, use Libgcypt's
'GCRY_VERY_STRONG_RANDOM' level by default for cipher generation, like
it's done for OpenPGP key generation.
On the assistant side, the random quality is left to the old (lower)
level, in order not to scare the user with an enless page load due to
the blocking PRNG waiting for IO actions.
There was confusion in different parts of the progress bar code about
whether an update contained the total number of bytes transferred, or the
number of bytes transferred since the last update. One way this bug
showed up was progress bars that seemed to stick at zero for a long time.
In order to fix it comprehensively, I add a new BytesProcessed data type,
that is explicitly a total quantity of bytes, not a delta.
Note that this doesn't necessarily fix every problem with progress bars.
Particularly, buffering can now cause progress bars to seem to run ahead
of transfers, reaching 100% when data is still being uploaded.
When a page is loaded, the javascript requests an notification url, and
does long polling on the url to be informed of changes. But if a change
occured before the notification url was requested, it would not be notified
of that change, and so the page display would not update.
I fixed this by *always* updating the page display after it gets
the notification url. This is extra work, but the overhead is not noticable
in the other overhead of loading a page.
(A nicer way would be to somehow record the version of a page initially
loaded, and then compare it with the current version when getting the
notification url, and only force an update if it's changed. But getting
the "version" of the different parts of the page that use long polling
is difficult.)
There are two types of equality here, and which one is right varies,
so this forces me to consider and choose between them.
Based on this, I learned that the commit in git anex sync was
always doing a strong comparison, even when in a repository where
the inodes had changed. Fixed that.
* addurl: Escape invalid characters in urls, rather than failing to
use an invalid url.
* addurl: Properly handle url-escaped characters in file:// urls.
This fixes the issue mentioned in the last commit.
Turns out just collecting UUID of clients behind a XMPP remote is
insufficient (although I should probably still do it for other reasons),
because a single remote repo might be connected via both XMPP and local
pairing. So a way is needed to know when a push was received from any
client using a given XMPP remote over XMPP, as opposed to via ssh.
This cannot completely guard against a runaway log event, and only runs
every hour anyway, but it should avoid most problems with very
long-running, active assistants using up too much space.
The only thing lost is ./ghci
Speed: make fast used to take 20 seconds here, when rebuilding from
touching Command/Unused.hs. With cabal, it's 29 seconds.
In general, git-annex does not try to preserve file permissions. For
example, they don't round trip through special remotes. So it's ok to not
preserve them for git remotes either.
On crippled filesystems, rsync has been observed failing after the file
was transferred because it couldn't set some permission or other.
This is so gratutious and pointless. It's a shame that everything we
learned about Unix portability and the importance of standards has been
thrown out the window by these guys.
Various things that don't work on Android are just ifdefed out.
* the webapp (needs template haskell for arm)
* --include and --exclude globbing (needs libpcre, which is not ported;
probably I'll make it use the pure haskell glob library instead)
* annex.diskreserve checking (missing sys/statvfs.h)
* timestamp preservation support (yawn)
* S3
* WebDAV
* XMPP
The resulting 17mb binary has been tested on Android, and it is able to,
at least, print its usage message.
It used to not log to daemon.log when a repository was first created, and
when starting the webapp. Now both do. Redirecting stdout and stderr to the
log is tricky when starting the webapp, because the web browser may want to
communicate with the user. (Either a console web browser, or web.browser = echo)
This is handled by restoring the original fds when running the browser.
since some systems may have configuration problems or other issues that
prevent web browsers from connecting to the right localhost IP for the
webapp.
Tested on both ipv4 and ipv6 localhost. Url for the latter looks like:
http://[::1]:50676
This allows it to use Build.SysConfig to always install the programs
configure detected. Amoung other fixes, this ensures the right uuid
generator and checksum programs are installed.
I also cleaned up the handling of lsof's path; configure now checks for
it in PATH, but falls back to looking for it in sbin directories.
* get/copy --auto: Transfer data even if it would exceed numcopies,
when preferred content settings want it.
* drop --auto: Fix dropping content when there are no preferred content
settings.
Both the directory and webdav special remotes used to have to buffer
the whole file contents before it could be decrypted, as they read
from chunks. Now the chunks are streamed through gpg with no buffering.
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.
Inject the required git-remote-xmpp into PATH when running xmpp git push.
Rest of the time it will not be in PATH, and git won't be able to talk to
xmpp remotes.
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.
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 when the dbus connection is dropped, it'll fall back to polling.
I could make it try to reconnect, but there's a FD leak in the dbus
library, so not yet.
I had been using -ignore-package monads-tf to deal with this, but
the XMPP library uses monads-tf, so that also ignores it. Instead,
use PackageImports to force use of mtl in my own code.
When rsyncProgress pipes rsync's stdout, this turns out to cause a ssh
process started by rsync to be left behind as a zombie. I don't know why,
but my recent zombie reaping cleanup was correct, it's just that this other
zombie, that's not directly started by git-annex, was no longer reaped
due to changes in the cleanup. Make rsyncProgress reap the zombie started
by rsync, as a workaround.
FWIW, the process tree looks like this. It seems like the rsync child
is for some reason starting but not waiting on this extra ssh process.
Ssh connection caching may be involved -- disabling it seemed to change
the shape of the tree, but did not eliminate the zombie.
9378 pts/14 S+ 0:00 | \_ rsync -p --progress --inplace -4 -e 'ssh' '-S' ...
9379 pts/14 S+ 0:00 | | \_ ssh ...
9380 pts/14 S+ 0:00 | | \_ rsync -p --progress --inplace -4 -e 'ssh' '-S' ...
9381 pts/14 Z+ 0:00 | \_ [ssh] <defunct>
Nearly everything that's reading from git is operating on a small
amount of output and has been switched to use that. Only pipeNullSplit
stuff continues using the lazy version that yields zombies.
This includes a full parser for the boolean expressions in the log,
that compiles them into Matchers. Those matchers are not used yet.
A complication is that matching against an expression should never
crash git-annex with an error. Instead, vicfg checks that the expressions
parse. If a bad expression (or an expression understood by some future
git-annex version) gets into the log, it'll be ignored.
Most of the code in Limit couldn't fail anyway, but I did have to make
limitCopies check its parameter first, and return an error if it's bad,
rather than erroring at runtime.
This seems to fix a problem I've recently seen where ctrl-c during rsync
leads to `git annex get` moving on to the next thing rather than exiting.
Seems likely that started happening with the switch to System.Process
(d1da9cf221), as the old code took care
to install a default SIGINT handler.
Note that since the bug was only occurring sometimes, I am not 100% sure
I've squashed it, although I seem to have.
This is a workaround for bind failing with EINVAL sometimes on OSX.
I don't know why; EVINAL should mean the socket is already bound to an
address, but this is with a new socket.
Simplified it using existing functions.
I doubt setSticky needs to return the FileMode; if it does for some
reason, it can be changed to use modifyFileMode'
Converted isSticky to a pure function for consistency with isSymlink.
Note that the sticky bit of a file can be tested thus:
isSticky . fileMode <$> getFileStatus file
This is handled differently for inotify, which can track modifications of
existing files, and kqueue, which cannot (TTBOMK). On the inotify side,
the TransferWatcher just waits for the file to be updated and reads the new
bytesComplete. On the kqueue side, the TransferPoller has to re-read the
file every update (currently 0.5 seconds, might need to increase that).
I did think about working around kqueue's limitations by somehow creating
a new file each time the size changed. But cleaning up all the files that
would result seemed difficult. And really, this is not a lot worse than
the TransferWatcher's behavior for downloads, which stats a file every 0.5
seconds. As long as the OS has decent file caching behavior..
Current implementation parses rsync's output a character a time, which
is hardly efficient. It could be sped up a lot by using hGetBufSome,
but that would require going really lowlevel, down to raw C style buffers
(good example of that here: http://users.aber.ac.uk/afc/stricthaskell.html)
But rsync doesn't output very much, so currently it seems ok.
The webapp can only run on one of ipv4 and ipv6, no both. Some web browsers
may not support ipv6, so ipv4 is the safe choice.
The actual problem I ran into with it only listening to ipv6 was that
Utility.Url.exists was failing to connect to it. I doubt that haskell's
HTTP library is ipv4 only. More likely, it was only trying one address,
and tried ipv4 first.
Actually 3 forms in one, this handles the initial passphrase entry, and the
confirmation, and also varys wording if the same user or a different user
is confirming.
To avoid conflict with different liftIO from MonadIO (in some version of
yesod not the one I have here), and because it's generally clearer, since
this module has both Wai and Yesod stuff, to qualify them both.
This deals with interruptions in network connectevity, by listening
for a new network interface coming up (using dbus to see when
network-manager or wicd do it), and forcing a rescan of
Old 1.0.1 version is still supported as well. Cabal autodetects
which version is available, but in the Makefile, WITH_OLD_YESOD
has to be configured appropriately.
I have not squashed all the $newline warnings with the new Yesod.
They should go away eventually anyway as Yesod moves past that transition.
