They work fine. But I had to go to a lot of trouble to get Yesod to render
routes in a pure function. It may instead make more sense to have each
alert have an assocated IO action, and a single route that runs the IO
action of a given alert id. I just wish I'd realized that before the past
several hours of struggling with something Yesod really doesn't want to
allow.
The remote computer may not support mDNS. Instead, pass over the uname -a
hostname, and the IP address, and leave best hostname calculation to the
remote side.
Pair requests are sent on all network interfaces, and contain the best
available hostname to use to contact the host on that interface.
Added a pairing in progress page.
Revert "reduce some boilerplate using ghc extensions", because it caused
overlapping instances for Text.
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.
I think this makes sense.. Unless the assistant is running on the server,
the repo won't be updated, so it might as well be bare.
Non-bare repos will be handled by the pairing configurator, later.
When multiple downloads of a key are queued, it starts the first, but leaves the
other downloads in the queue. This ensures that we don't lose a queued
download if the one that got started failed.
Run code that pops off the next queued transfer and adds it to the active
transfer map within an allocated transfer slot, rather than before
allocating a slot. Fixes the transfers display, which had been displaying
the next transfer as a running transfer, while the previous transfer was
still running.
Currently only the web special remote is readonly, but it'd be possible to
also have readonly drives, or other remotes. These are handled in the
assistant by only downloading from them, and never trying to upload to
them.
A paused transfer's thread keeps running, keeping the slot in use.
This is intentional; pausing a transfer should not let other
queued transfers to run in its place.
This seems to work pretty well.
Handled the process groups like this:
- git-annex processes started by the assistant for transfers are run in their
own process groups.
- otherwise, rely on the shell to allocate a process group for git-annex
There is potentially a problem if some other program runs git-annex
directly (not using sh -c) The program and git-annex would then be in
the same process group. If that git-annex starts a transfer and it's
canceled, the program would also get killed. May or may not be a desired
result.
Also, the new updateTransferInfo probably closes a race where it was
possible for the thread id to not be recorded in the transfer info, if
the transfer info file from the transfer process is read first.
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.
