For no apparent reason, this version removes all useful instances of
ToJavaScript, leavind behind only an instance for Aeson.Value. Argh. Pissed
off at this arbitrary breaking change, and seriously considering dropping
this library.
Maybe the spec allows it, but broadcasting self-directed presence info to
all buddies is just insane.
I had to bring back the IQ messages for self-pairing, while still using
directed presence for other pairing. Ugly.
Testing between Google Talk and prosody, the directed IQ messages
were not received. Google Talk probably only relays them between
clients using the same account.
I first tried even more directed presence, with each client JID being sent
a separate presence, but that didn't work on Google Talk, particularly
it was ignored when one client sent it to another client using the same
account.
So, presence directed at the user@host of the client to pair with. Tested
working between Google Talk and prosody (in both directions), as well
as between two clients with the same account on Google Talk, and
two clients with the same account on prosody.
Only problem with this form of directed presence is that if I also use it
for git pushes, more clients than are interested in a push's data will
receive it. So I may need some better approach, or a hybrid between
directed IQ and directed presence.
Currently have three old versions of functions that more reworking is
needed to remove: getDaemonStatusOld, modifyDaemonStatusOld_, and
modifyDaemonStatusOld
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.
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.
None-bare removable drive repos don't have the assistant running in them,
so don't get their master branch updated as syncs come in. This will
probably change later, but for now, set up something that works.
Also, set the description of a newly added drive's repo locally. This
ensures that the repo edit form has the description in it.
Although I observe that these toggles don't always prevent syncing.
When a transfer scan is active, it will still queue items from the disabled
remote.
Also, transfers from a disabled remote show up as from "unknown", which is
not ideal.
This reserves annex.ignore for repos that should not be visible at all;
repos with syncing disabled are now skipped by the assistant, but are
displayed in the list and can be configured.
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.
webapp: Adds newly created repositories to one of these groups:
clients, drives, servers
This is heuristic, but it's a pretty good heuristic, and can always be
configured.
This was needed for the OSX self-contained app, but is a generally good
idea. It avoids needing perl; is probably faster; and could eventually
be replaced by something faster yet.
This means that anyone serving up the webapp to users as a service
(ie, without providing any git-annex binary at all to the user) still needs
to provide a link to the source code for it, including any modifications
they may make.
This may make git-annex be covered by the AGPL as a whole when it is built
with the webapp. If in doubt, you should ask a lawyer.
When git-annex is built with the webapp disabled, no AGPLed code is used.
Even building in the assistant does not pull in AGPLed code.
Now other repositories can configure special remotes, and when their
configuration has propigated out, they'll appear in the webapp's list of
repositories, with a link to enable them.
Added support for enabling rsync special remotes, and directory special
remotes that are on removable drives. However, encrypted directory special
remotes are not supported yet. The removable drive configuator doesn't
support them yet anyway.
Finally.
Last bug fixes here: Send PairResp with same UUID in the PairReq.
Fix off-by-one in code that filters out our own pairing messages.
Also reworked the pairing alerts, which are still slightly buggy.
Pair requests the the same UUID are part of the same pairing session,
which allows us to detect attempts to brute force the shared secret,
as that will result in pair requests with the same UUID that are
not verified with the right secret.
They work fine. But I had to go to a lot of trouble to get Yesod to render
routes in a pure function. It may instead make more sense to have each
alert have an assocated IO action, and a single route that runs the IO
action of a given alert id. I just wish I'd realized that before the past
several hours of struggling with something Yesod really doesn't want to
allow.
The remote computer may not support mDNS. Instead, pass over the uname -a
hostname, and the IP address, and leave best hostname calculation to the
remote side.
Pair requests are sent on all network interfaces, and contain the best
available hostname to use to contact the host on that interface.
Added a pairing in progress page.
Revert "reduce some boilerplate using ghc extensions", because it caused
overlapping instances for Text.
Actually 3 forms in one, this handles the initial passphrase entry, and the
confirmation, and also varys wording if the same user or a different user
is confirming.
I think this makes sense.. Unless the assistant is running on the server,
the repo won't be updated, so it might as well be bare.
Non-bare repos will be handled by the pairing configurator, later.
When multiple downloads of a key are queued, it starts the first, but leaves the
other downloads in the queue. This ensures that we don't lose a queued
download if the one that got started failed.
Run code that pops off the next queued transfer and adds it to the active
transfer map within an allocated transfer slot, rather than before
allocating a slot. Fixes the transfers display, which had been displaying
the next transfer as a running transfer, while the previous transfer was
still running.
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.
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 seems to work pretty well.
Handled the process groups like this:
- git-annex processes started by the assistant for transfers are run in their
own process groups.
- otherwise, rely on the shell to allocate a process group for git-annex
There is potentially a problem if some other program runs git-annex
directly (not using sh -c) The program and git-annex would then be in
the same process group. If that git-annex starts a transfer and it's
canceled, the program would also get killed. May or may not be a desired
result.
Also, the new updateTransferInfo probably closes a race where it was
possible for the thread id to not be recorded in the transfer info, if
the transfer info file from the transfer process is read first.
This doesn't quite work, because canceling a transfer sends a signal
to git-annex, but not to rsync (etc).
Looked at making git-annex run in its own process group, which could then
be killed, and would kill child processes. But, rsync checks if it's
process group is the foreground process group and doesn't show progress if
not, and when git has run git-annex, if git-annex makes a new process
group, that is not the case. Also, if git has run git-annex, ctrl-c
wouldn't be propigated to it if it made a new process group.
So this seems like a blind alley, but recording it here just in case.
Should work (untested) for transfers being run by other processes.
Not yet by transfers being run by the assistant. killThread does not
kill processes forked off by a thread. To fix this, will probably
need to make `git annex getkey` and `git annex sendkey` commands that
operate on keys, and write their own transfer info. Then the assistant
can run them, and kill them, as needed.
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))
This should work on linux (xdg-open) and OSX (open). If the program
is not in $PATH, it falls back to opening a browser window/tab with file:///
The only tricky bit is the javascript code, that handles clicking on the
link. This is to avoid unnecessary page refreshes. Until I added the
return false at the end, the <a>'s normal click event also fired, so two
file browsers opened. I have not checked portability extensively.
git annex assistant --autostart will start separate daemons in each
listed autostart repo
running the webapp outside any git-annex repo will open it on the
first listed autostart repo
Unifying poll results, it's Annex in lowercase. :)
When cwd is HOME, use ~/Desktop/annex, unless there's no Desktop directory;
then use use ~/annex
If cwd is not $HOME, use cwd
