* Improve local pairing behavior when two computers both try to start the ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2013-11-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pairing process separately. I was able to reproduce something very like this bug by starting pairing separately on both computers under poor network conditions (ie, weak wifi on my front porch). Neither computer showed an alert for the PairReq messages it was seeing (intermittently) from the other. So, I've made a new PairReq message that has not been seen before always make the alert pop up, even if the assistant thinks it is in the middle of its own pairing process (or even another pairing process with a different box on the LAN). (This shouldn't cause a rogue PairAck to disrupt a pairing process part way through.)
* better control character sanity checkGravatar Joey Hess2013-11-02
| | | | | | | | | The msg contains a haskell-escaped string, so control characters in it can also be escaped. So this didn't work before, really. Got rid of the \n check, because current pairing messages actually do contain a \n, after the ssh public key. Don't want to break back-compatability.

* webapp: remind user when using repositories that lack consistency checksGravatar Joey Hess2013-10-29
| | | | | | | | | | When starting up the assistant, it'll remind about the current repository, if it doesn't have checks. And when a removable drive is plugged in, it will remind if a repository on it lacks checks. Since that might be annoying, the reminders can be turned off.

* automatically launch git repository repairGravatar Joey Hess2013-10-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Added a RemoteChecker thread, that waits for problems to be reported with remotes, and checks if their git repository is in need of repair. Currently, only failures to sync with the remote cause a problem to be reported. This seems enough, but we'll see. Plugging in a removable drive with a repository on it that is corrupted does automatically repair the repository, as long as the corruption causes git push or git pull to fail. Some types of corruption do not, eg missing/corrupt objects for blobs that git push doesn't need to look at. So, this is not really a replacement for scheduled git repository fscking. But it does make the assistant more robust. This commit is sponsored by Fernando Jimenez.

* add remote fsck interfaceGravatar Joey Hess2013-10-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently only implemented for local git remotes. May try to add support to git-annex-shell for ssh remotes later. Could concevably also be supported by some special remote, although that seems unlikely. Cronner user this when available, and when not falls back to fsck --fast --from remote git annex fsck --from does not itself use this interface. To do so, I would need to pass --fast and all other options that influence fsck on to the git annex fsck that it runs inside the remote. And that seems like a lot of work for a result that would be no better than cd remote; git annex fsck This may need to be revisited if git-annex-shell gets support, since it may be the case that the user cannot ssh to the server to run git-annex fsck there, but can run git-annex-shell there.

| | | | | | | I probably need to improve handling of the PleaseTerminate exception to kill the fsck process. Also, if fsck finds bad files, something needs to requeue downloads of them. Otherwise, this should work, but is probably quite buggy since I have only tested the pure code over the past 2 days.

* assistant: Detect stale git lock files at startup time, and remove them.Gravatar Joey Hess2013-10-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Extends the index.lock handling to other git lock files. I surveyed all lock files used by git, and found more than I expected. All are handled the same in git; it leaves them open while doing the operation, possibly writing the new file content to the lock file, and then closes them when done. The gc.pid file is excluded because it won't affect the normal operation of the assistant, and waiting for a gc to finish on startup wouldn't be good. All threads except the webapp thread wait on the new startup sanity checker thread to complete, so they won't try to do things with git that fail due to stale lock files. The webapp thread mostly avoids doing that kind of thing itself. A few configurators might fail on lock files, but only if the user is explicitly trying to run them. The webapp needs to start immediately when the user has opened it, even if there are stale lock files. Arranging for the threads to wait on the startup sanity checker was a bit of a bear. Have to get all the NotificationHandles set up before the startup sanity checker runs, or they won't see its signal. Perhaps the NotificationBroadcaster is not the best interface to have used for this. Oh well, it works. This commit was sponsored by Michael Jakl

* 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.

* assistant: Clear the list of failed transfers when doing a full transfer ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2013-09-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | scan. This prevents repeated retries to download files that are not available, or are not referenced by the current git tree. This is motivated by a user report that the assistant was repeatedly retrying transfers of files that had been deleted (in direct mode, so removing the only copy). Note that the glacier code retries failed transfers after a while to retry downloads that have aged long enough to be available. This is ok; if we're doing a full transfer scan we'll retry on every file that is still in the git tree. Also note that this makes the assistant less likely to get every file referenced by old revs of the git tree. Not something the assistant tries to ensure anyway, so I feel this is acceptable.
* webapp: support adding existing gcrypt special remotes from removable drivesGravatar Joey Hess2013-09-18
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When adding a removable drive, it's now detected if the drive contains a gcrypt special remote, and that's all handled nicely. This includes fetching the git-annex branch from the gcrypt repo in order to find out how to set up the special remote. Note that gcrypt repos that are not git-annex special remotes are not supported. It will attempt to detect such a gcrypt repo and refuse to use it. (But this is hard to do any may fail; see https://github.com/blake2-ppc/git-remote-gcrypt/issues/6) The problem with supporting regular gcrypt repos is that we don't know what the gcrypt.participants setting is intended to be for the repo. So even if we can decrypt it, if we push changes to it they might not be visible to other participants. Anyway, encrypted sneakernet (or mailnet) is now fully possible with the git-annex assistant! Assuming that the gpg key distribution is handled somehow, which the assistant doesn't yet help with. This commit was sponsored by Navishkar Rao.
* Support hot-swapping of removable drives containing gcrypt repositories.Gravatar Joey Hess2013-09-12
| | | | | | | | | | | To support this, a core.gcrypt-id is stored by git-annex inside the git config of a local gcrypt repository, when setting it up. That is compared with the remote's cached gcrypt-id. When different, a drive has been changed. git-annex then looks up the remote config for the uuid mapped from the core.gcrypt-id, and tweaks the configuration appropriately. When there is no known config for the uuid, it will refuse to use the remote.

* partially complete gcrypt remote (local send done; rest not)Gravatar Joey Hess2013-09-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is a git-remote-gcrypt encrypted special remote. Only sending files in to the remote works, and only for local repositories. Most of the work so far has involved making initremote work. A particular problem is that remote setup in this case needs to generate its own uuid, derivied from the gcrypt-id. That required some larger changes in the code to support. For ssh remotes, this will probably just reuse Remote.Rsync's code, so should be easy enough. And for downloading from a web remote, I will need to factor out the part of Remote.Git that does that. One particular thing that will need work is supporting hot-swapping a local gcrypt remote. I think it needs to store the gcrypt-id in the git config of the local remote, so that it can check it every time, and compare with the cached annex-uuid for the remote. If there is a mismatch, it can change both the cached annex-uuid and the gcrypt-id. That should work, and I laid some groundwork for it by already reading the remote's config when it's local. (Also needed for other reasons.) This commit was sponsored by Daniel Callahan.

* gitignore support for the assistant and watcherGravatar Joey Hess2013-08-02
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Requires git 1.8.4 or newer. When it's installed, a background git check-ignore process is run, and used to efficiently check ignores whenever a new file is added. Thanks to Adam Spiers, for getting the necessary support into git for this. A complication is what to do about files that are gitignored but have been checked into git anyway. git commands assume the ignore has been overridden in this case, and not need any more overriding to commit a changed version. However, for the assistant to do the same, it would have to run git ls-files to check if the ignored file is in git. This is somewhat expensive. Or it could use the running git-cat-file process to query the file that way, but that requires transferring the whole file content over a pipe, so it can be quite expensive too, for files that are not git-annex symlinks. Now imagine if the user knows that a file or directory tree will be getting frequent changes, and doesn't want the assistant to sync it, so gitignores it. The assistant could overload the system with repeated ls-files checks! So, I've decided that the assistant will not automatically commit changes to files that are gitignored. This is a tradeoff. Hopefully it won't be a problem to adjust .gitignore settings to not ignore files you want the assistant to autocommit, or to manually git annex add files that are listed in .gitignore. (This could be revisited if git-annex gets access to an interface to check the content of the index w/o forking a git command. This could be libgit2, or perhaps a separate git cat-file --batch-check process, so it wouldn't need to ship over the whole file content.) This commit was sponsored by Francois Marier. Thanks!

* 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.
* assistant: Fix bug that caused it to stall when adding a very large number ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2013-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | of files at once (around 5 thousand). This bug was introduced in 74c30fc1a6e88d926d07e12f4e7ffc7d897bf9f6, which improved handling of adding very large numbers of files by ensuring that a minimum number of max size commits (5000 files each) were done. I accidentially made it wait for another change to appear after such a max size commit, even if a lot of queued changes were already accumulated. That resulted in a stall when it got to the end. Now fixed to not wait any longer than necessary to ensure the watcher has had time to wake back up after the max size commit. This commit was sponsored by Michael Linksvayer. Thanks!
