Spent about 5 hours the other night in XMPP hell. At every turn Google Talk
|
|
exhibited behavior that may meet the letter of the XMPP spec (or not), but
|
|
varies between highly annoying and insane.
|
|
|
|
By "insane", I mean this: If a presence message is directed from one client
|
|
to another client belonging to that same user, randomly leaking that message
|
|
out to other users who are subscribed is just a security hole waiting to
|
|
happen.
|
|
|
|
Anyway, I came out of that with a collection of hacks that worked, but I
|
|
didn't like. I was using directed presence for buddy-to-buddy pairing, and
|
|
an IQ message hack for client-to-client pairing.
|
|
|
|
Today I got chat messages working instead, for both sorts of pairing. These
|
|
chat messages have an empty body, which *should* prevent clients from
|
|
displaying them, but they're sent directed to only git-annex clients
|
|
anyway.
|
|

And XMPP pairing 100% works now! Of course, it doesn't know how to git pull
|
|
over XMPP yet, but everything else works.
|
|
|
|
Here's a real `.git/config` generated by the assistant after XMPP pairing.
|
|
|
|
[remote "joey"]

|
url =
|
|
fetch = +refs/heads/*:refs/remotes/joey/*
|

annex-uuid = 14f5e93e-1ed0-11e2-aa1c-f7a45e662d39
|

annex-xmppaddress = joey@kitenet.net

Fixed a typo that led to an infinite loop when adding a ssh git repo with the
|
|
assistant. Only occurred when an absolute directory was specified, which
|
|
is why I didn't notice it before.
|
|
|
|
----
|
|
|
|
Security fix: Added a `GIT_ANNEX_SHELL_DIRECTORY` environment variable that
|
|
locks down git-annex-shell to operating in only a single directory. The
|
|
assistant sets that in ssh `authorized_keys` lines it creates. This
|
|
prevents someone you pair with from being able to access any other git or
|
|
git-annex repositories you may have.

Next up, more craziness. But tomorrow is Nov 6th, so you in the US already
|
|
knew that..
