In copyFromRemote, it used to check isDirect, but that was not needed;
the remote is sending the file, so it doesn't matter if the local,
receiving repository is in direct mode or not. And, since the content is not
present, yet, it's certianly not unlocked. Note that, the remote may indeed
be sending an unlocked file, but sendkey uses sendAnnex, which will detect
if the file is modified before or during transfer, and will exit nonzero,
aborting the upload. So, the receiver doesn't need any checks.
In copyToRemote, it forces recvkey to verify content whenever it's being
sent from a v6 repository. recvkey is almost always going to verify content
anyway, unless annex.verify is not set. So, this doesn't make it any more
expensive, except for in that unusual configuration. The alternative would
be to change the recvkey interface, so that the sender checks afterwards if
what it was sending changed, and the receiver then throws out the bad
transfer. That would be less expensive for the reciever, as it would not
need to do a checksum verification. But, it would mean another network
round trip, and since rsync closes the connection, it would need to open
another ssh connection to do this. Even with connction caching, that would
add latency to uploads. It would also complicate the interface, especially
because an older git-annex-shell would not have the new interface
available. For these reasons, I prefer punting on that at this time, and
instead someone might set annex.verify=false and be unhappy that it still
verifies..
(One other gotcha not dealt with is that a v5 repo could be upgraded to v6
while an upload is in progress, and a file unlocked and modified.)
(Also, I double-checked Remote.GCrypt's calls to rsyncParamsRemote, and
they're fine. When a file is being uploaded to gcrypt, or any other special
repository, it is mediated by sendAnnex, so changes will be detected at
that level and the special remote implementation doesn't need to worry
about them.)
The direct flag is also set when sending unlocked content, to support old
versions of git-annex-shell. At some point, the direct flag will be
removed, and only the unlocked flag will be used.
Had everything available, just didn't combine the progress meter with the
other places progress is sent to update it. (And to a remote repo already
did show progress.)
Most special remotes should already display progress meters with -J,
same as without it. One exception to this is the web, since it relies on
wget/curl progress display without -J. Still todo..
* Fix failure to build with aws-0.13.0.
* When built with aws-0.13.0, the S3 special remote can be used to create
google nearline buckets, by setting storageclass=NEARLINE.
Instead, only display transport error if the configlist output doesn't
include an annex.uuid line, even an empty one.
A recent change made git-annex init try to get all the remote uuids, and so
the transport error would be displayed by it. It was also displayed when
eg, copying files to a remote that had no uuid yet.
sideAction is for things not generally related to the current action being
performed. And, it adds a newline after the side action. This was not the
right thing to use for stuff like "checksum", where doing a checksum is
part of the git annex get process, and indeed we want it to display
"(checksum...) ok"
/dev/null stderr; ssh is still able to display a password prompt
despite this
Show some messages so the user knows it's locking a remote, and
knows if that locking failed.
Also, rename lockContent to lockContentExclusive
inAnnexSafe should perhaps be eliminated, and instead use
`lockContentShared inAnnex`. However, I'm waiting on that, as there are
only 2 call sites for inAnnexSafe and it's fiddly.
In c6632ee5c8, it actually only handled
uploading objects to a shared repository. To avoid verification when
downloading objects from a shared repository, was a lot harder.
On the plus side, if the process of downloading a file from a remote
is able to verify its content on the side, the remote can indicate this
now, and avoid the extra post-download verification.
As of yet, I don't have any remotes (except Git) using this ability.
Some more work would be needed to support it in special remotes.
It would make sense for tahoe to implicitly verify things downloaded from it;
as long as you trust your tahoe server (which typically runs locally),
there's cryptographic integrity. OTOH, despite bup being based on shas,
a bup repo under an attacker's control could have the git ref used for an
object changed, and so a bup repo shouldn't implicitly verify. Indeed,
tahoe seems unique in being trustworthy enough to implicitly verify.
* When annex objects are received into git repositories, their checksums are
verified then too.
* To get the old, faster, behavior of not verifying checksums, set
annex.verify=false, or remote.<name>.annex-verify=false.
* setkey, rekey: These commands also now verify that the provided file
matches the key, unless annex.verify=false.
* reinject: Already verified content; this can now be disabled by
setting annex.verify=false.
recvkey and reinject already did verification, so removed now duplicate
code from them. fsck still does its own verification, which is ok since it
does not use getViaTmp, so verification doesn't happen twice when using fsck
--from.
Since I want git-annex to keep building on debian stable, I need to still
support the old http-client, which required explicit calls to
closeManager, or use of withManager to get Managers to close at appropriate
times. This is not needed in the new version, and so they added a
deprecation warning. IMHO much too early, because look at the mess I had to
go through to avoid that deprecation warning while supporting both
versions..
Added support for storageclass=STANDARD_IA to use Amazon's
new Infrequently Accessed storage.
Also allows using storageclass=NEARLINE to use Google's NearLine storage.
The necessary changes to aws to support this are in
https://github.com/aristidb/aws/pull/176
When gpg.program is configured, it's used to get the command to run for
gpg. Useful on systems that have only a gpg2 command or want to use it
instead of the gpg command.
This only makes sense for public repos, that are not chunked, so
that there's a 1:1 from Key in the git-annex repo to file on the remote.
Rather than making every remote implementation deal with that, just disable
whereisKey when it doesn't make sense.
Note that, if an url is added to the web log for such a remote, it's not
distinguishable from another url that might be added for the web remote.
(Because the web log doesn't distinguish which remote owns a plain url.
Urls with a downloader set are distinguishable, but we're not using them
here.)
This seems ok-ish.. In such a case, both remotes will try to use both
urls, and both remotes should be able to.
The only issue I see is that dropping a file from the web remote will
remove both urls in this case. This is not often done, and could even
be considered a feature, I suppose.
Note that I had one in Annex.Action.startup too, but it resulted in a weird
message printed by ssh, "channel 2: bad ext data". I don't know why, but
it only happened when transferinfo was run, so I wonder
if 983a95f021 introduced a fragility somehow.
While cryptohash has SHA3 support, it has not been updated for the final
version of the spec. Note that cryptonite has not been ported to all arches
that cryptohash builds on yet.
Now it suffices to run git remote add, followed by git-annex sync. Now the
remote is automatically initialized for use by git-annex, where before the
git-annex branch had to manually be pushed before using git-annex sync.
Note that this involved changes to git-annex-shell, so if the remote is
using an old version, the manual push is still needed.
Implementation required git-annex-shell be changed, so configlist can
autoinit a repository even when no git-annex branch has been pushed yet.
Unfortunate because we'll have to wait for it to get deployed to servers
before being able to rely on this change in the documentation.
Did consider making git-annex sync push the git-annex branch to repos that
didn't have a uuid, but this seemed difficult to do without complicating it
in messy ways.
It would be cleaner to split a command out from configlist to handle
the initialization. But this is difficult without sacrificing backwards
compatability, for users of old git-annex versions which would not use the
new command.
