* relay external special remote stderr through progress suppression machinery ↵Gravatar Joey Hess2015-04-04
| | | | | | | | | | (eep!) It sounds worse than it is. ;) Some external special remotes may run commands that display progress on stderr. If git-annex is run with --quiet, this should filter out such displays while letting the errors through.
* Added SETURIPRESENT and SETURIMISSING to external special remote protocolGravatar Joey Hess2015-03-05
| | | | | | | | | Useful for things like ipfs that don't use regular urls. An external special remote can add a regular url to a key, and then git-annex get will download it from the web. But for ipfs, we want to instead tell git-annex that the uri uses OtherDownloader. Before this change, the external special remote protocol lacked a way to do that.

| | | | | | This reverts commit bc0bf97b20c48e1d1a35d25e2e76a311c102438c. Putting filename in the claim was a bad idea.

* unify exception handling into Utility.ExceptionGravatar Joey Hess2014-08-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Removed old extensible-exceptions, only needed for very old ghc. Made webdav use Utility.Exception, to work after some changes in DAV's exception handling. Removed Annex.Exception. Mostly this was trivial, but note that tryAnnex is replaced with tryNonAsync and catchAnnex replaced with catchNonAsync. In theory that could be a behavior change, since the former caught all exceptions, and the latter don't catch async exceptions. However, in practice, nothing in the Annex monad uses async exceptions. Grepping for throwTo and killThread only find stuff in the assistant, which does not seem related. Command.Add.undo is changed to accept a SomeException, and things that use it for rollback now catch non-async exceptions, rather than only IOExceptions.

* add remote state logsGravatar Joey Hess2014-01-03
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This allows a remote to store a piece of arbitrary state associated with a key. This is needed to support Tahoe, where the file-cap is calculated from the data stored in it, and used to retrieve a key later. Glacier also would be much improved by using this. GETSTATE and SETSTATE are added to the external special remote protocol. Note that the state is left as-is even when a key is removed from a remote. It's up to the remote to decide when it wants to clear the state. The remote state log, $KEY.log.rmt, is a UUID-based log. However, rather than using the old UUID-based log format, I created a new variant of that format. The new varient is more space efficient (since it lacks the "timestamp=" hack, and easier to parse (and the parser doesn't mess with whitespace in the value), and avoids compatability cruft in the old one. This seemed worth cleaning up for these new files, since there could be a lot of them, while before UUID-based logs were only used for a few log files at the top of the git-annex branch. The transition code has also been updated to handle these new UUID-based logs. This commit was sponsored by Daniel Hofer.
* added GETWANTED, SETWANTED for Tobias's flickr remoteGravatar Joey Hess2014-01-01
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This was unexpectedly difficult because of a depdenency cycle. To parse a preferred content expression involves several things that need to operate on the list of remotes. Which needs Remote.External. The only way to avoid this cycle (I tried breaking it at several points) was to skip parsing the expression in SETWANTED. That's sorta ok, because git-annex already has to deal with unparsable preferred content expressions being stored, in order to handle eg, upgrades. But I'm still not very happy that I cannot check it. I feel this is a strong indication that I need to beware of further bloating the special remote protocol interface.

| | | | | TAHOE-LAFS may use these eventually, but that's TBD and none of git-annex's own special remotes need that, except for the web special remote's urls.
* implement GETCONFIG and SETCONFIGGravatar Joey Hess2013-12-27
| | | | | | | | | | | Changed protocol spec to make SETCONFIG only store it persistently when run during INITREMOTE. I see no reason to support storing it persistently at other times, and doing so would unnecessarily complicate the code. Also, letting that be done would probably result in use for storing data that doesn't really belong there, and special remote authors who don't understand how the union merging works would probably be surprised the results.
* don't send PREPARE before INITREMOTEGravatar Joey Hess2013-12-27
| | | | | | | | That complicated special remote programs, because they had to avoid making PREPARE fail if some configuration is missing, because the remote might not be initialized yet. Instead, complicate git-annex slightly by only sending PREPARE immediately before some other request other than INITREMOTE (or PREPARE of course).

* external special remotes mostly implemented (untested)Gravatar Joey Hess2013-12-26
This has not been tested at all. It compiles! The only known missing things are support for encryption, and for get/set of special remote configuration, and of key state. (The latter needs separate work to add a new per-key log file to store that state.) Only thing I don't much like is that initremote needs to be passed both type=external and externaltype=foo. It would be better to have just type=foo Most of this is quite straightforward code, that largely wrote itself given the types. The only tricky parts were: * Need to lock the remote when using it to eg make a request, because in theory git-annex could have multiple threads that each try to use a remote at the same time. I don't think that git-annex ever does that currently, but better safe than sorry. * Rather than starting up every external special remote program when git-annex starts, they are started only on demand, when first used. This will avoid slowdown, especially when running fast git-annex query commands. Once started, they keep running until git-annex stops, currently, which may not be ideal, but it's hard to know a better time to stop them. * Bit of a chicken and egg problem with caching the cost of the remote, because setting annex-cost in the git config needs the remote to already be set up. Managed to finesse that. This commit was sponsored by Lukas Anzinger.
