I'm using transfer for most things, both removable drives and cloud
storage, because it's the safest choice. We'll see if it makes sense
to prompt for the group when setting this up, or let the user pick
something else after the fact.
I've designed these to work well together, I hope. If I get it wrong,
I can just change the code in one place, since these expressions
won't be stored in the git-annex branch.
Solves the issue with preferred content expressions and dropping that
I mentioned yesterday. My solution was to add a parameter to specify a set
of repositories where content should be assumed not to be present. When
deciding whether to drop, it can put the current repository in, and then
if the expression fails to match, the content can be dropped.
Using yesterday's example "(not copies=trusted:2) and (not in=usbdrive)",
when the local repo is one of the 2 trusted copies, the drop check will
see only 1 trusted copy, so the expression matches, and so the content will
not be dropped.
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.
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.
Fix resuming of downloads, which do not have a transfer info file to read.
When checking upload progress, use the MVar, rather than re-reading
the info file.
Catch exceptions in the transfer action. Required a tryAnnex.
The --copies flag now takes an argument of the form:
trustlevel:number or number
If a trust level is specified the command is limited to files
with at least 'number' copies of this 'trustlevel'.
When a transfer fails, the progress info can be used to intelligently
retry it. If the transfer managed to make some progress, but did not
fully complete, then there's a good chance that a retry will finish it
(or at least make more progress).
Transfer info files are updated when the callback is called, updating
the number of bytes transferred.
Left unused p variables at every place the callback should be used.
Which is rather a lot..
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 commit includes a paydown on technical debt incurred two years ago,
when I didn't know that it was bad to make custom Read and Show instances
for types. As the routes need Read and Show for Transfer, which includes a
Key, and deriving my own Read instance of key was not practical,
I had to finally clean that up.
So the compact Key read and show functions are now file2key and key2file,
and Read and Show are now derived instances.
Changed all code that used the old instances, compiler checked.
(There were a few places, particularly in Command.Unused, and the test
suite where the Show instance continue to be used for legitimate
comparisons; ie show key_x == show key_y (though really in a bloom filter))
Avoid crashing when "git annex get" fails to download from one location,
and falls back to downloading from a second location.
The problem is that git annex get calls download recursively from within
itself if the first download attempt fails. So the first time through, it
writes a transfer info file, which is then overwritten on the second,
recursive call. Then on cleanup, it tries to delete the file twice, which
of course doesn't work.
Fixed both by not crashing if the transfer file is removed, and by
changing Get to not run download recursively like that. It's the only
thing that did so, and it just seems like a bad idea.
This should fix OSX/BSD issues with not noticing transfer information
files with kqueue. Now that threads are used, the thread can manage the
transfer slot allocation and deallocation by itself; much cleaner.
Since the lock file has to be kept open, this prevented the TransferWatcher
from noticing when it appeared, since inotify (and more importantly kqueue)
events happen when a new file is closed. Writing a separate info file fixes
that problem.
There's still a bug; if the child updates its transfer info file,
then the data from it will superscede the TransferInfo, losing the
info that we should wait on this child.
Not yet tested and places git-annex-shell is run need to be modified to
pass the new field settings.
Note that rsyncServerSend was changed to fork, rather than directly exec
rsync, because it needs to keep the transfer lock held, and clean up the
transfer log when done.
In order to record a semi-useful filename associated with the key,
this required plumbing the filename all the way through to the remotes'
storeKey and retrieveKeyFile.
Note that there is potential for deadlock here, narrowly avoided.
Suppose the repos are A and B. A sends file foo to B, and at the same
time, B gets file foo from A. So, A locks its upload transfer info file,
and then locks B's download transfer info file. At the same time,
B is taking the two locks in the opposite order. This is only not a
deadlock because the lock code does not wait, and aborts. So one of A or
B's transfers will be aborted and the other transfer will continue.
Whew!
storing it in remotes/web/xx/yy/foo.log meant lots of extra directory
objects in git. Now I use xx/yy/foo.log.web, which is just as unique, but
more efficient since foo.log is there anyway.
Of course, it still looks in the old location too.
This overrides the trust.log, and is overridden by the command-line trust
parameters.
It would have been nicer to have Logs.Trust.trustMap just look up the
configuration for all remotes, but a dependency loop prevented that
(Remotes depends on Logs.Trust in several ways). So instead, look up
the configuration when building remotes, storing it in the same forcetrust
field used for the command-line trust parameters.
This needs to run git log on the location log files to get at all past
versions of the file, which tends to be a bit slow.
It would be possible to make a version optimised for showing the location
logs for every key. That would only need to run git log once, so would be
faster, but it would need to process an enormous amount of data, so
would not speed up the individual file case.
In the future it would be nice to support log --format. log --json also
doesn't work right yet.
semitrusted uuids rarely are listed in trust.log, so a special case
is needed to get a list of them. Take the difference of all known uuids
with non-semitrusted uuids.
Avoid ever using read to parse a non-haskell formatted input string.
show :: Key is arguably still show abuse, but displaying Keys as filenames
is just too useful to give up.
Checks location log information, and file contents.
Does not check that numcopies is satisfied, as .gitattributes information
about numcopies is not available in a bare repository. In practice, that
should not be a problem, since fsck is also run in a checkout and will
check numcopies there.
