The benefit of using a compatable directory structure does not outweigh the
cost in complexity of handling the multiple locations content can be stored
in directory special remotes. And this also allows doing away with the parent
directories, which can't be made unwritable in DAV, so have no benefit
there. This will save 2 http calls per file store.
But, kept the directory hashing, just in case.
bup 0.25 does not accept that; and bup split reads from stdin by
default if no file is given. I'm not sure what version of bup changed this.
This only affected bup special remotes that were encrypted.
Aka solve the github problem.
Note that it's possible the initial configlist will fail for some network
reason etc, and then the fetch succeeds. In this case, a usable remote gets
disabled. But it does print a message, and this only happens once per
remote, so that seems ok.
Rather than store decrypted creds in the environment, store them in the
creds cache file.
This way, a single git-annex can have multiple S3 remotes using different
creds.
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).
Easy!
Note that with an encrypted remote, rsync will be sending a little more
data than the key size, so displayed progress may get to 100% slightly
quicker than it should. I doubt this is a big enough effect to worry about.
cp is used here, but we can just watch the size of the destination file
This commit made from within the ruins of an old mill, overlooking a
beautiful waterfall.
Current implementation parses rsync's output a character a time, which
is hardly efficient. It could be sped up a lot by using hGetBufSome,
but that would require going really lowlevel, down to raw C style buffers
(good example of that here: http://users.aber.ac.uk/afc/stricthaskell.html)
But rsync doesn't output very much, so currently it seems ok.
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..
Turns out that recvkey already does this same check. This avoids a transfer
file being created for the download that never happened, which in turn
will avoid the assistant seeing that the download has finished, when no
transfer actually took place.
Currently only the web special remote is readonly, but it'd be possible to
also have readonly drives, or other remotes. These are handled in the
assistant by only downloading from them, and never trying to upload to
them.
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))
Make Utility.Process wrap the parts of System.Process that I use,
and add debug logging to them.
Also wrote some higher-level code that allows running an action
with handles to a processes stdin or stdout (or both), and checking
its exit status, all in a single function call.
As a bonus, the debug logging now indicates whether the process
is being run to read from it, feed it data, chat with it (writing and
reading), or just call it for its side effect.
Test suite now passes with -threaded!
I traced back all the hangs with -threaded to System.Cmd.Utils. It seems
it's just crappy/unsafe/outdated, and should not be used. System.Process
seems to be the cool new thing, so converted all the code to use it
instead.
In the process, --debug stopped printing commands it runs. I may try to
bring that back later.
Note that even SafeSystem was switched to use System.Process. Since that
was a modified version of code from System.Cmd.Utils, it needed to be
converted too. I also got rid of nearly all calls to forkProcess,
and all calls to executeFile, which I'm also doubtful about working
well with -threaded.
This *almost* works.
Along the way, I noticed that the --uuid parameter was being accidentially
passed after the --, so that has never been actually used by
git-annex-shell to verify it's running in the expected repository. Oops. Fixed.
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!
Not including such remotes turned out to have other consequences,
including annex-truselevel git config being ignored. Instead, add guards
before each operation that might try to operate on such a repo.
Prelude.undefined error message was introduced by
bb4f31a0ee.
It seems best to filter out local repositories that cannot be accessed
from the list of remotes, rather than keeping them in and making every
thing that uses the list have to deal with remotes that may have an unknown
location.
Besides fixing the error message, this also makes unavailable local
remotes' names not be shown in various messages, including in git annex
status output.
Also, move --to an unavailable local repository now avoids some ugly
errors like "changeWorkingDirectory: does not exist".
