* Removed the webapp-secure build flag, rolling it into the webapp build
flag.
* Removed the quvi and tahoe build flags, which only adds aeson to
the core dependencies.
* Removed the feed build flag, which only adds feed to the core
dependencies.
Build flags have cost in both code complexity and also make Setup configure
have to work harder to find a usable set of build flags when some
dependencies are missing.
When Config.setConfig runs, it throws away the old Repo and loads a new
one. So, add an action to adjust the Repo so that -c settings will persist
across that.
The homomorphs are back, just encoded such that it doesn't crash in LANG=C
However, I noticed a bug in the old escaping; [pseudoSlash] was escaped the
same as ['/','/']. Fixed by using '%' to escape pseudoSlash. Which requires
doubling '%' to escape it, but that's already done in the escaping of
worktree filenames in a view, so is probably ok.
So, we need to look at both the file on disk to see if it's a annex link,
and the file in the index too. lookupFile doesn't look in the index if the file
is not present on disk.
Now available on mips, mipsel, but temporarily removed armel since build is
failing there.
If armel would just get caught up, I could remove the per-arch specs
entirely.
Maybe time to turn maint of this over to richih?
Decided it's too scary to make v6 unlocked files have 1 copy by default,
but that should be available to those who need it. This is consistent with
git-annex not dropping unused content without --force, etc.
* Added annex.thin setting, which makes unlocked files in v6 repositories
be hard linked to their content, instead of a copy. This saves disk
space but means any modification of an unlocked file will lose the local
(and possibly only) copy of the old version.
* Enable annex.thin by default on upgrade from direct mode to v6, since
direct mode made the same tradeoff.
* fix: Adjusts unlocked files as configured by annex.thin.
http://bugs.debian.org/807341
* Fix insecure temporary permissions when git-annex repair is used in
in a corrupted git repository.
Other calls to withTmpDir didn't leak any potentially private data,
but repair clones the git repository to a temp directory which is made
using the user's umask. Thus, it might expose a git repo that is
otherwise locked down.
* Fix potential denial of service attack when creating temp dirs.
Since withTmpDir used easily predictable temporary directory names,
an attacker could create foo.0, foo.1, etc and as long as it managed to
keep ahead of it, could prevent it from ever returning.
I'd rate this as a low utility DOS attack. Most attackers in a position
to do this could just fill up the disk /tmp is on to prevent anything
from writing temp files. And few parts of git-annex use withTmpDir
anyway, so DOS potential is quite low.
Examined all callers of withTmpDir and satisfied myself that
switching to mkdtmp and so getting a mode 700 temp dir wouldn't break any
of them.
Note that withTmpDirIn continues to not force temp dir to 700.
But it's only used for temp directories inside .git/annex/wherever/
so that is not a problem.
Also re-audited all other uses of temp files and dirs in git-annex.
Note that the implementation uses replaceFile, so that the actual
replacement of the work tree file is atomic. This seems a good property to
have!
It would be possible for unlock in v6 mode to be run on files that do not
have their content present. However, that would be a behavior change from
before, and I don't see any immediate need to support it, so I didn't
implement it.
Was not putting it inside the temp dir, but next to it!
This was just wrong, and it led to a longer filename that desired being
used, leading to some bug reports.
Note that this changes the default behavior of git add in a newly
initialized repository; it will add files to the annex.
Don't like that this could break workflows, but it's necessary in order for
any pointer files in the repo to be handled by git-annex.
Since all places where a repo is used in direct mode need to have git-annex
upgraded before the repo can safely be converted to v6, the upgrade needs
to be manual for now.
I suppose that at some point I'll want to drop all the direct mode support
code. At that point, will stop supporting v5, and will need to auto-upgrade
any remaining v5 repos. If possible, I'd like to carry the direct mode
support for say, a year or so, to give people plenty of time to upgrade and
avoid disruption.
importfeed just calls addurl functions, so inherits this from it.
Note that addurl still generates a temp file, and uses that key to download
the file. It just adds it to the work tree at the end when the file is small.
When core.sharedRepository is set, annex object files are not made mode
444, since that prevents a user other than the file owner from locking
them. Instead, a mode such as 664 is used in this case.
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..
This was in the cabal file earlier, and was removed because it broke the
android cross build. Moving to the git-annex target of the Makefile
will make it be used for Debian packages etc but not android cross builds
or make fast or when users build with cabal.
replaceFile created a temp file, which was guaranteed to not overlap with
another temp file. However, makeAnnexLink then deleted that file, in
preparation for making the symlink in its place. This caused a race, since
some other replaceFile could create a temp file, using the same name!
I was able to reproduce the race easily running git-annex add -J10 in a
directory with 100 files (all with different contents). Some files would
get ingested into the annex, but their annex links would fail to be added.
There could be other situations where this same problem could occur.
Perhaps when the assistant is adding a file, if the user manually also ran
git-annex add. Perhaps in cases not involving adding a file.
The new replaceFile makes a temprary directory, which is guaranteed to be
unique, and doesn't make a temp file in there. makeAnnexLink can thus
create the symlink without problem and the race is avoided.
Audited all calls to replaceFile to make sure that the old behavior of
providing an empty temp file was not relied on.
The general problem of asking for a temp file and deleting it as part of
the process of using it could reach beyond replaceFile. Did some quick
audits and didn't find other cases of it. Probably only symlink creation
stuff would tend to make that mistake, mostly.
* 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.
Fixes a recent-ish build warning on about 64 bit vs non.
This is the method used by the disk-free-space library, and I tested it to
yield the same results on even 10 tb drives on OSX -- so it's getting 64
bit values.
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.
sync, merge, assistant: When git merge failed for a reason other than a
conflicted merge, such as a crippled filesystem not allowing particular
characters in filenames, git-annex would make a merge commit that could
omit such files or otherwise be bad. Fixed by aborting the whole merge
process when git merge fails for any reason other than a merge conflict.
Implemented with no additional overhead of compares etc.
This is safe to do for presence logs because of their locality of change;
a given repo's presence logs are only ever changed in that repo, or in a
repo that has just been actively changing the content of that repo.
So, we don't need to worry about a split-brain situation where there'd
be disagreement about the location of a key in a repo. And so, it's ok to
not update the timestamp when that's the only change that would be made
due to logging presence info.
/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.
On Solaris, using f_bsize provided a value that is apparently much larger
than the real block size. The solaris docs for statvfs say
f_bsize is the "preferred" file system block size, and I guess the
filesystem prefers larger blocks, but uses smaller ones or something.
The docs also say that f_frsize is the "fundamental" block size.
Switched to using f_frsize on Linux and kFreeBSD too, since I guess
f_bsize could in theory vary the same way there too. Assuming that Solaris
is not violating the posix spec, I guess the linux man page for statvfs
is not as well written and I misunderstood it.
* 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.
Update install instructions.
Note that xmpp is disabled in the stack.yaml, because that needs C
libraries that would take extra work for the user to install.
xmpp is moving toward deprecation anyway.
Seems easy, but git ls-files can't list the right subset of files.
So, I wrote a whole new parser for git status output, and converted the
status command to use that.
There are a few other small behavior changes. The order changed. Unlocked
files show as T. In indirect mode, deleted files were not shown before, and
that's fixed. Regular files checked directly into git and modified
were not shown before, and are now.
I couldn't find a good way to make an *empty* index file (zero byte file
won't do), so I punted and just don't make index.lock when there's no index
yet. This means some other git process could race and write an index file
at the same time as the merge is ongoing, in theory. Only happens in new
repos though.
It's confusing, easy to select by accident and get into a situation the
webapp offers no easy recovery from, and pausing syncing works just as well
in most situations.
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
This is pretty complicated, but I have both "git-annex" and "git annex"
working both in the git bash shell even with git not added to path.
And, when git's added to path, both work from MS-DOS prompt window too.
I think that the webapp startup does still need git in path, so
instructions will keep saying to do that. But, users often disregard them,
and hopefully this will reduce support traffic.
Also, switched the wget from the cygwin one to the msys2 one, avoiding the
complication of needing to bundle any cygwin dlls.
Using msysgit with git-annex is no longer supported.
At the same time, I'm updating the rsync.exe in my downloads repository
with the one from msys2.
Note that rsync is currently still being ldded and installed in Git/cmd/
like the other cygwin programs. The ldd fails and this failure is ignored.
It would be better to special case it to go in Git/usr/bin/, so that the
user can't run rsync in a dos prompt window, which doesn't work, as it needs
additional libs. However, as far as git-annex running rsync running ssh,
it works ok in this location.
Removed the ssh.cmd and ssh-keygen.cmd; these are not needed with git for
windows. Keeping them would let ssh be run manually from a dos prompt
window, but that's not really a goal.
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.
It was failing at link time, some problem with terminatePID.
Re-implemented that to not use a C wrapper function, which cleared up the
problem. Removed old EvilLinker hack with must have been related to the
same problem.
Note that I have not tested this with older ghc's. In
f11f7520b5 I mention having tried this
approach before, and getting segfaults.. So, who knows. It seems to work
fine with ghc 7.10 at least.
Ben Boeckel had a patch, but..
Actually, that was not the only place that used ScheduleIncremental when
built w/o database. Since the data type doesn't need database stuff,
I've instead fixed this build problem by exposing the
ScheduleIncremental constructor to database-less builds.
As a result of the Makefile changes, the Debian package is built
with various hardening options. Although their benefit to a largely
haskell program is unknown.
Oh boy, not again. So, another place that the filesystem encoding needs to
be applied. Yay.
In passing, I changed decodeBS so if a NUL is embedded in the input, the
resulting FilePath doesn't get truncated at that NUL. This was needed to
make prop_b64_roundtrips pass, and on reviewing the callers of decodeBS, I
didn't see any where this wouldn't make sense. When a FilePath is used to
operate on the filesystem, it'll get truncated at a NUL anyway, whereas if
a String is being used for something else, it might conceivably have a NUL
in it, and we wouldn't want it to get truncated when going through
decodeBS.
(NB: There may be a speed impact from this change.)
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.
This was potentially a hole in the readonly mode armor even before my last
commit. If the user could push a git-annex branch to a repo, they could get
git-annex-shell to initialize the repo. After my last commit, the user
didn't even need to be allowed to push a branch to init the repo, so
this hole certianly needs to be closed now.
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.
I think that the problem was caused by windows not having a concept of an
env var that is set, but to the empty string. So, GIT_ANNEX_SSHOPTION
got set to "" and was not seen as set at all.
Easy fix, which also makes git-annex sync a little faster is to not set
GIT_SSH, when GIT_ANNEX_SSHOPTION has no options. Might as well let git use
ssh per usual in this case, no need to run git-annex as the proxy ssh
command..
This fixes a reversion introduced by relative path changes back last winter.
The root cause is simplifyPath "../foo" was incorrectly yielding "foo".
absPathFrom seems quite horrible. Probably most things that use it should
use </> instead.
Git.Ref.headSha doesn't really work in direct mode as there's not a head,
so it was actually diffing against the empty tree and so not removing any
deleted files. Get the sha of the current branch instead, which is the same
thing Command.Sync does.
* proxy: Fix proxy git commit of non-annexed files in direct mode.
* proxy: If a non-proxied git command, such as git revert
would normally fail because of unstaged files in the work tree,
make the proxied command fail the same way.
* Perform a clean shutdown when --time-limit is reached.
This includes running queued git commands, and cleanup actions normally
run when a command is finished.
* fsck: Commit incremental fsck database when --time-limit is reached.
Previously, some of the last files fscked did not make it into the
database when using --time-limit.
Note that this changes Annex.addCleanup hooks, to run after --time-limit
expires. Fsck was using such a hook to clean up after a
--incremental-schedule, and that shouldn't run when --time-limit exipires
it. So, instead, moved that cleanup code to be run by cleanupIncremental.
Resulted in some data type juggling.
I've seen rss feeds that have no permalinks, only guids (which are
sometimes in the form of permalinks, argh/sigh).
I had previously avoided trusting guids to be globally unique, because my
survey of rss feeds that I subscribe to shows a lot of pretty bad
"guids" like "2 at http://serialpodcast.org" or even worse "oth20150401-hq".
Worry was that two podcasts that are generating guids so badly, that
there's no guarantee they're actually globally unique.
But, I'm seeing too many url changes that result in redundant files, so
let's try this. If feeds are so broken that guids overlap, they could just
as well incorrectly call them permalinks too.
"checkPresent baser" was wrong; the baser has a dummy checkPresent action
not the real one. So, to fix this, we need to call preparecheckpresent to
get a checkpresent action that can be used to check if chunks are present.
Note that, for remotes like S3, this means that the preparer is run,
which opens a S3 handle, that will be used for each checkpresent of a
chunk. That's a good thing; if we're resuming an upload that's already many
chunks in, it'll reuse that same http connection for each chunk it checks.
Still, it's not a perfectly ideal thing, since this is a different http
connection that the one that will be used to upload chunks. It would be
nice to improve the API so that both use the same http connection.
The branch needs to be created when merging from the remote in sync,
since we diff between it and the remote's sync branch. But git annex merge
should not be creating sync branches.
This was a reversion caused by the relative path changes in 5.20150113.
Other uses of addAuthorizedKeys seem to be ok. If the user enters a
directory like ~/annex, it writes GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_DIRECTORY=annex, and
git-annex-shell assumes that's relative to HOME.
This makes git annex unused use around 48 mb more memory than it did before,
but the massive increase in accuracy makes this worthwhile for all but the
smallest systems.
Also, I want to use the bloom filter for sync --all --content, to avoid
dropping files that the preferred content doesn't want, and 1/1000
false positives would be far too many in that use case, even if it were
acceptable for unused.
Actual memory use numbers:
1000: 21.06user 3.42system 0:26.40elapsed 92%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 501552maxresident)k
1000000: 21.41user 3.55system 0:26.84elapsed 93%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 549496maxresident)k
10000000: 21.84user 3.52system 0:27.89elapsed 90%CPU (0avgtext+0avgdata 549920maxresident)k
Based on these numbers, 10 million seemed a better pick than 1 million.
backup: Use new "anything" terminal. This means that content that
is not unused, but has no associated file will be wanted by backup repos.
unwanted: "not anything" will result in any and all content moving
off of these repos.
incremental backup: Remove the "(include=* or unused)",
so it matches content that has no associated files
but is not unused.
client: Add a include=* to the expression. This limits it to matching
only files in the work tree. Without this change, sync --all --content
would match a key against the expression, and since it matches
exclude=archive/*, the client repo would have wanted the file content.
The "and not unused" would have kept unused objects out, but not
objects that were not known to be unused, or objects that another branch
referred to. In practice, everything would have flooded into client repos
without this change.
