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.
This deals with interruptions in network connectevity, by listening
for a new network interface coming up (using dbus to see when
network-manager or wicd do it), and forcing a rescan of
This prevents multiple runs of the assistant in the foreground, and lets
--stop stop foregrounded runs too.
The webapp firstrun case also now writes a pid file, once it's made the git
repo to put it in.
The fun part was making it move things from TransferQueue to currentTransfers
entirely atomically. Which will avoid inconsistent display if the WebApp
renders the current status at just the wrong time. STM to the rescue!
I've convinced myself that nothing in DaemonStatus can deadlock,
as it always keepts the TMVar full. That was the only reason it was in the
Annex monad.
This avoids forking another process, avoids polling, fixes a race,
and avoids a rare forkProcess thread hang that I saw once time
when starting the webapp.
This should fix OSX/BSD issues with not noticing transfer information
files with kqueue. Now that threads are used, the thread can manage the
transfer slot allocation and deallocation by itself; much cleaner.
Added knownRemotes to DaemonStatus. This list is not entirely trivial to
calculate, and having it here should make it easier to add/remove remotes
on the fly later on. It did require plumbing the daemonstatus through to
some more threads.
The reason the DirWatcher had to wait for program termination was because
it used withINotify, so when it finished, its watcher threads were killed.
But since I have two DirWatcher threads now, that was not good, and could
perhaps explain the MVar problem I saw yesterday. In any case, fixed this
part of the code by making the DirWatcher return a handle that can be used
to stop it, and now the main Assistant thread is the only one calling
waitForTermination.
SampleMVar won't work; between getting the current value and changing
it, another thread could made a change, which would get lost.
TMVar works well; this update situation is handled by atomic transactions.
Rethought how to keep track of pending adds that need to be retried later.
The commit thread already run up every second when there are changes,
so let's keep pending adds queued as changes until they're safe to add.
Also, the committer is now smarter about avoiding empty commits when
all the adds are currently unsafe, or in the rare case that an add event
for a symlink is not received in time. It may avoid them entirely.
This seems to work as before for inotify, and is untested for kqueue.
(Actually commit batching seems to be improved for inotify, although I'm
not sure why. I'm seeing only two commits made during large batch
operations, and the first of those is the non-batch mode commit.)
Kqueue needs to remember which files failed to be added due to being open,
and retry them. This commit gets the data in place for such a retry thread.
Broke KeySource out into its own file, and added Eq and Ord instances
so it can be stored in a Set.
