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.
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.
At recommends it causes avahi-daemon to be pulled in on upgrade, which is
just too annoying to deal with avoiding on servers. MDNS is needed for
robust peering, but probably most desktop systems have it anyway; it's in
task-desktop.
Note that here I don't need blaze-markup for cabal to succeed, but Jimmy
reports he does. Seems like Text.Blaze.Renderer.String moved from blaze to
blaze-markup in some version.
The commit thread now has access to a channel containing the times of
all uncommitted changes. This lets it be smart about detecting busy times
when a batch job is running (such as rm -rf, or untarring something, etc),
and avoid committing until it's done. While at the same time, instantly
committing one-off changes that the user is going to expect to see
immediately.
I had to use STM to implement the channel, because of
http://hackage.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/4154
While this adds a dependency, I always wanted to use STM, so this actually
makes me happy. ;)
Also happy that shouldCommit is a pure function, so other commit smartness
strategies can easily be played with. Although the current one seems pretty
good.
There is one bug, for some reason it does double commits, every time.
git-annex (but not git-annex-shell) supports the git help.autocorrect
configuration setting, doing fuzzy matching using the restricted
Damerau-Levenshtein edit distance, just as git does. This adds a build
dependency on the haskell edit-distance library.
Add tuning, docs, etc.
Not sure if status is the right place to remote size.. perhaps unused
should report the size and also warn if it sees more keys than the bloom
filter allows?
This drops the >>! and >>? with the nice low fixity. IfElse does have
undocumented >>=>>! and >>=>>? operators, but I deem that too fishy.
Anyway, using whenM and unlessM is easier; I sometimes mixed the operators
up.
* This version of git-annex only works with git 1.7.7 and newer.
The breakage with old versions is subtle, and affects
annex.numcopies .gitattributes settings, so be sure to upgrade git
to 1.7.7. (Debian package now depends on that version.)
* Don't pass absolute paths to git show-attr, as it started following
symlinks when that's done in 1.7.7. Instead, use relative paths,
which show-attr only handles 100% correctly in 1.7.7. Closes: #645046
Unfortunatly I can find no way to work with the old and new gits, as
the old had bugs that require absolute paths, while the new doesn't like
them at all. And the behavior of git show-attr in 1.7.7. is the same as
eg, git add of an absolute path to a symlink, so seems entirely
intentional and not likely to change.
This includes a generic JSONStream library built on top of Text.JSON
(somewhat hackishly).
It would be possible to stream out a single json document describing
all actions, but it's probably better for consumers if they can expect
one json document per line, so I did it that way instead.
Output from external programs used for transferring files is not
currently hidden when outputting json, which probably makes it not very
useful there. This may be dealt with if there is demand for json
output for --get or --move to be parsable.
The version, status, and find subcommands have hand-crafted output and
don't do json. The whereis subcommand needs to be modified to produce
useful json.
The test suite will not be run if it cannot be compiled.
It may be possible later to split off the quickcheck using tests into
a separate program and keep most of the tests using just hunit.
* Update Debian build dependencies for ghc 7.
* Debian package is now built with S3 support. Thanks Joachim Breitner for
making this possible, also thanks Greg Heartsfield for working to improve
the hS3 library for git-annex.
Also hid a conflicting new symbol from Control.Monad.State
