Indeed, just two more repository configurators remain to be filled in: +phone and NAS. + +By default, Glacier repositories are put in a new "small archive" group. +This makes only files placed in "archive" directories be sent to Glacier +(as well as being dropped from clients), unlike the full archive group +which archives all files. Of course you can change this setting, but +avoiding syncing all data to Glacier seemed like a good default, especially +since some are still worried about Glacier's pricing model. + +Fixed several bugs in the handling of archive directories, and +the webapp makes a toplevel archive directory when an archive remote is +created, so the user can get on with using it. + +Made the assistant able to drop local files immediately after transferring +them to glacier, despite not being able to trust glacier's inventory. +This was accomplished by making the transferrer, after a successful upload, +indicate that it trusts the remote it just uploaded to has the file, +when it checks if the file should be dropped. + +Only thing left to do for glacier is to make the assistant retry failed +downloads from it after 4 hours, or better, as soon as they become +available. |
