Still wait 1 minute after a change before waiting on the next change, but don't
wait at the start, when we might get a pull that contains config changes
right away.
Currently have three old versions of functions that more reworking is
needed to remove: getDaemonStatusOld, modifyDaemonStatusOld_, and
modifyDaemonStatusOld
This is a nice win; much less code runs in Annex, so other threads have
more chances to run concurrently.
I do notice that renaming a file has gone from 1 to 2 commits. I think this
is due to the above improvement letting the committer run more frequently,
so it commits the rm first.
Converted several threads to run in the monad.
Added a lot of useful combinators for working with the monad.
Now the monad includes the name of the thread.
Some debugging messages are disabled pending converting other threads.
I now have this topology working:
assistant ---> {bare repo, special remote} <--- assistant
And, I think, also this one:
+----------- bare repo --------+
v v
assistant ---> special remote <--- assistant
While before with assistant <---> assistant connections, both sides got
location info updated after a transfer, in this topology, the bare repo
*might* get its location info updated, but the other assistant has no way to
know that it did. And a special remote doesn't record location info,
so transfers to it won't propigate out location log changes at all.
So, for these to work, after a transfer succeeds, the git-annex branch
needs to be pushed. This is done by recording a synthetic commit has
occurred, which lets the pusher handle pushing out the change (which will
include actually committing any still journalled changes to the git-annex
branch).
Of course, this means rather a lot more syncing action than happened
before. At least the pusher bundles together very close together pushes,
somewhat. Currently it just waits 2 seconds between each push.
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.
Currently relies on SRV being set, or the JID's hostname being the server
hostname and the port being default. Future work: Allow manual
configuration of user name, hostname, and port.
Now when the dbus connection is dropped, it'll fall back to polling.
I could make it try to reconnect, but there's a FD leak in the dbus
library, so not yet.
This *may* solve the segfault I was seeing when the XMPP library called
startTLS. My hypothesis is as follows:
* TLS is documented
(http://www.gnu.org/software/gnutls/manual/gnutls.html#Thread-safety)
thread safe, but only when a single thread accesses it.
* forkIO threads are not bound to an OS thread, so it was possible for
the threaded runtime to run part of the XMPP code on one thread, and
then switch to another thread later.
So, forkOS, with its bound threads, should be used for the XMPP thread.
Since the crash doesn't happen reliably, I am not yet sure about this fix.
Note that I kept all the other threads in the assistant unbound, because
bound threads have significantly higher overhead.
Seems presence notifications are not sent to clients that have marked
themselves unavailable. (Testing with google talk.)
This is the death knell for the presence hack, because it has to stay
available, and even the toggle to unavailable and back could cause it to
miss a notification. Still, flipped it so it basically works, for now.
