Both Git and Darcs are supported
- Darcs implementation applies right on the bare repo, I haven't tested to make
sure it works right (federated MR demo is going to be only for Git)
- Git implementation clones to temporary repo, runs `git am` on it to apply,
then pushes to the real bare repo (because `git am` doesn't work on bare
repos; I haven't tested yet to see how it handles conflicts; cloning and
pushing should be efficient since the refs are just hardlinked rather than
copied)
For now it's implemented only for Git:
If tracker is a local loom, and a (local or remote) origin repo is specified,
but no patches are provided, then generate them ourselves!
* Clone the (local) target repo
* Add the (local or remote) origin repo as a git remote
* Make sure target branch is an ancestor of the origin branch
* Generate patches for the commits that origin adds on top of target
* Insert them into our DB
In offerTicketC it can be used for fetching commits from the remote origin
repo, by knowing its clone URI
Only HTTP clone URIs are supported for now, because it's enough for finishing
the federated MR implementation. Apparently user@host:path isn't a valid URI
and I'll later add a parser for that
What's missing:
- Match patch VCS, origin repo VCS and target repo VCS
- Hook into postPersonInboxR
- If only origin is provided, generate patches / otherwise somehow remember the
commits proposed
RepoSourceR, for a repo that doesn't have a loom, lists looms that want to
serve that repo with buttons for bidirectionally linking the repo to a loom
Once linked, the repo navbar has a Patches/MRs link pointing to the LoomClothsR
of the linked Loom
Person inbox handler:
- Invite: Parse and insert to inbox
- Grant: Parse and insert to inbox
Repo/Deck/Loom inbox handler:
- Invite: Parse and remember as Collab record in DB for later
- Accept: Send a Grant (and remember it in DB)
Along with inviteC and acceptC, the Invite->Accept->Grant flow is now fully
federated, yay!
What's missing is UI for actually using it. Coming soon.
Giving access now starts with an Invite activity, followed by Accept from the
Invite's recipient. Finally, the resource sends a Grant, which is the actual
OCap.
I was going to link the matching Accept tables to them, but then switched to
the Invite-Accept-Grant model and going to implement it in the next patches. So
I'm committing these new tables just in case I decide to revert to the current
model.
Only Vervis.Hook (for the hook programs) and Vervis.Application (for the web
app program itself) are exposed now. I suppose more will be needed for tests.
But now there's a clear distinction what's used by other components and what
isn't.
The steps are:
- Parse activity ID and match with the authenticated sender
- For local activity (we got via forwarding), find in DB
- For remote activity, cache in DB
- Insert activity to recipient's inbox
What's not there yet is the actual logic of handling specific activities.
Previously there was just CollabTopicAccept, which worked only for local topics
but pretended to apply to both, due to directly pointing to Collab, thus
possible to insert rows even if there's a CollabTopicRemote.
The new situation is a new CollabTopicLocal table to which the local topic
things point, thus keeping the local and remote data separate and difficult to
confuse.
