* run resumed transfers immediately, do not wait for free transfer slotGravatar Joey Hess2012-08-12
| | | | | The resumed transfer still uses a slot, so will delay other, queued transfers from starting.
* implement pausing of transfersGravatar Joey Hess2012-08-10
| | | | | | 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.
* fork off git-annex copy for transfersGravatar Joey Hess2012-08-10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
* transfer cancelingGravatar Joey Hess2012-08-08
| | | | | | | | | | 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.
* avoid spawning new transfer thread until a slot becomes availableGravatar Joey Hess2012-07-25

* run file transfers in threads, not processesGravatar Joey Hess2012-07-18
| | | | | | 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.
* fix transfer slots blocking and refilling when transfers are stoppedGravatar Joey Hess2012-07-06
| | | | | There's a bug, if a transfer process notices it needs to do nothing, it never starts the transfer, so the slot is never freed.
* it builds againGravatar Joey Hess2012-07-06
Currently nothing waits on transfer processes. (Second drive of the day fried. Not concentrating very well.)
