* 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.
* webapp: Progess bar fixes for many types of special remotes.Gravatar Joey Hess2013-03-28
There was confusion in different parts of the progress bar code about whether an update contained the total number of bytes transferred, or the number of bytes transferred since the last update. One way this bug showed up was progress bars that seemed to stick at zero for a long time. In order to fix it comprehensively, I add a new BytesProcessed data type, that is explicitly a total quantity of bytes, not a delta. Note that this doesn't necessarily fix every problem with progress bars. Particularly, buffering can now cause progress bars to seem to run ahead of transfers, reaching 100% when data is still being uploaded.
