* finally really add back custom-setup stanzaGravatar Joey Hess2017-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | Fourth or fifth try at this and finally found a way to make it work. Absurd amount of busy-work forced on me by change in cabal's behavior. Split up Utility modules that need posix stuff out of ones used by Setup. Various other hacks around inability for Setup to use anything that ifdefs a use of unix. Probably lost a full day of my life to this. This is how build systems make their users hate them. Just saying.
* avoid the dashed ssh hostname class of security holesGravatar Joey Hess2017-08-17
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Security fix: Disallow hostname starting with a dash, which would get passed to ssh and be treated an option. This could be used by an attacker who provides a crafted ssh url (for eg a git remote) to execute arbitrary code via ssh -oProxyCommand. No CVE has yet been assigned for this hole. The same class of security hole recently affected git itself, CVE-2017-1000117. Method: Identified all places where ssh is run, by git grep '"ssh"' Converted them all to use a SshHost, if they did not already, for specifying the hostname. SshHost was made a data type with a smart constructor, which rejects hostnames starting with '-'. Note that git-annex already contains extensive use of Utility.SafeCommand, which fixes a similar class of problem where a filename starting with a dash gets passed to a program which treats it as an option.

* Some optimisations to string splitting code.Gravatar Joey Hess2017-01-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Turns out that Data.List.Utils.split is slow and makes a lot of allocations. Here's a much simpler single character splitter that behaves the same (even in wacky corner cases) while running in half the time and 75% the allocations. As well as being an optimisation, this helps move toward eliminating use of missingh. (Data.List.Split.splitOn is nearly as slow as Data.List.Utils.split and allocates even more.) I have not benchmarked the effect on git-annex, but would not be surprised to see some parsing of eg, large streams from git commands run twice as fast, and possibly in less memory.

* fix some mixed space+tab indentationGravatar Joey Hess2014-10-09
| | | | | | | | | This fixes all instances of " \t" in the code base. Most common case seems to be after a "where" line; probably vim copied the two space layout of that line. Done as a background task while listening to episode 2 of the Type Theory podcast.
* webapp: Include ssh port in mangled hostname.Gravatar Joey Hess2014-06-05
| | | | | | | | | This avoids a collision if different ssh ports are used on the same host for some reason. Note that it's ok to change the format of the mangled hostname; unmangling only extracts the hostname from it, and once ssh is configured for a mangled hostname, that config is not changed.

* UI for making encrypted ssh remotes with gcryptGravatar Joey Hess2013-09-29
| | | | | | | | | | | | Improved probing the remote server, so it gathers a list of the capabilities it has. From that list, we can determine which types of remotes are supported, and display an appropriate UI. The new buttons for making gcrypt repos don't work yet, but the old buttons for unencrypted git repo and encrypted rsync repo have been adapted to the new data types and are working.

* webapp: Improve handling of remotes whose setup has stalled.Gravatar Joey Hess2013-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This includes recovery from the ssh-agent problem that led to many reporting http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Internal_Server_Error:_Unknown_UUID/ (Including fixing up .ssh/config to set IdentitiesOnly.) Remotes that have no known uuid are now displayed in the webapp as "unfinished". There's a link to check their status, and if the remote has been set annex-ignore, a retry button can be used to unset that and try again to set up the remote. As this bug has shown, the process of adding a ssh remote has some failure modes that are not really ideal. It would certianly be better if, when setting up a ssh remote it would detect if it's failed to get the UUID, and handle that in the remote setup process, rather than waiting until later and handling it this way. However, that's hard to do, particularly for local pairing, since the PairListener runs as a background thread. The best it could do is pop up an alert if there's a problem. This solution is not much different. Also, this solution handles cases where the user has gotten their repo into a mess manually and let's the assistant help with cleaning it up.

* set IdentitiesOnlyGravatar Joey Hess2013-07-31
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When setting up a dedicated ssh key to access the annex on a host, set IdentitiesOnly to prevent the ssh-agent from forcing use of a different ssh key. That behavior could result in unncessary password prompts. I remember getting a message or two from people who got deluged with password prompts and I couldn't at the time see why. Also, it would prevent git-annex-shell from being run on the remote host, when git-annex was installed there by unpacking the standalone tarball, since the authorized_keys line for the dedicated ssh key, which sets up calling git-annex-shell when it's not in path, wouldn't be used. This fixes http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/Internal_Server_Error:_Unknown_UUID but I've not closed that bug yet since I should still: 1. Investigate why the ssh remote got set up despite being so broken. 2. Make the webapp not handle the NoUUID state in such an ugly way. 3. Possibly add code to fix up systems that encountered the problem. Although since it requires changes to .ssh/config this may be one for the release notes. Thanks to TJ for pointing me in the right direction to understand what was happening here.

* random ssh keys (╯°□°)╯︵ ┻━┻ gnome-keyringGravatar Joey Hess2013-04-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | assistant: Work around horrible, terrible, very bad behavior of gnome-keyring, by not storing special-purpose ssh keys in ~/.ssh/*.pub. Apparently gnome-keyring apparently will load and indiscriminately use such keys in some cases, even if they are not using any of the standard ssh key names. Instead store the keys in ~/.ssh/annex/, which gnome-keyring will not check. Note that neither I nor #debian-devel were able to quite reproduce this problem, but I believe it exists, and that this fixes it. And it certianly won't hurt anything..
