I should've dropped "PENDING" notes before the 1.6 release;
they're dropped now, and a note is added to remind my future
self to drop them before 1.7.

Our code doesn't support multi-values for these, and having
unexpected arrays leads to unexpected results (e.g. showing
stuff like "ARRAY(0xDEADBEEFADD12E55)" in user interfaces). So
warn and only use the last value (matching git-config(1)
behavior without `--get-all').

It seems easiest to have a singleton Gcf2Client client object
per daemon worker for all inboxes to use. This reduces overall
FD usage from pipes.
The `public-inbox-gcf2' command + manpage are gone and a `$^X'
one-liner is used, instead. This saves inodes for internal
commands and hopefully makes it easier to avoid mismatched
PERL5LIB include paths (as noticed during development :x).
We'll also make the existing cat-file process management
infrastructure more resilient to BOFHs on process killing
sprees (or in case our libgit2-based code fails on us).
(Rare) PublicInbox::WWW PSGI users NOT using public-inbox-httpd
won't automatically benefit from this change, and extra
configuration will be required (to be documented later).
|
|
This amortizes the cost of recreating PublicInbox::Gcf2 objects
when alternates change in v2 all.git.
|
|
Hopefully this allows others to more quickly figure out what's
going on.
|
|
Since we only get OIDs from trusted local data sources
(over.sqlite3), we can safely retry within the -gcf2 process
without worry about clients spamming us with requests for
invalid OIDs and triggering reopens.
|
|
This should be able to replace multiple `git cat-file' for blob
retrieval, but adjustments may be needed.
|
|
Calling ->add_alternate won't pick up new additions to
$OBJDIR/info/alternates, unfornately. Thus v2 inboxes will
need to do something to invalidate Gcf2 objects.
|
|
Having tens of thousands of inboxes and associated git processes
won't work well, so we'll use libgit2 to access the object DB
directly. We only care about OID lookups and won't need to rely
on per-repo revision names or paths.
The Git::Raw XS package won't be used since its manpages don't
promise a stable API. Since we already use Inline::C and have
experience with I::C when it comes to compatibility, this only
introduces libgit2 itself as a source of new incompatibilities.
This also provides an excuse for me to writev(2) to reduce
syscalls, but liburing is on the horizon for next year.
|
|
$git->cat_async already calls $git->batch_prepare iff needed, so
we can reduce subroutine calls and inline a one-off subroutine
to save some memory, here.
|
|
We host our own -imapd manpage, and we started using a few more
git commands (fast-import for ages). We'll also need to link to
manpages.debian.org and live with long URLs for a few
non-standard manpages in software we reference.
|
|
It's another read-only daemon, and it may see more usage than
-nntpd as more users have IMAP support than NNTP.
|
|
Oops :x
|
|
|
|
We replaced Danga::Socket with PublicInbox::DS roughly a year
before GitAsyncCat was introduced into our git history.
|
|
Since we're advertising our address at meta@public-inbox.org,
we should advertise the archives, too.
|
|
Hopefully this reduces the ambiguity between code for the
project(s) using public-inbox and the code for public-inbox
itself.
|
|
This will help with eventual git SHA-256 transitions.
|
|
It's only used for HTML anchors which we will need indefinitely.
|
|
This was triggered by blindly trying to FETCH an MSN (not
"UID FETCH") on an empty dummy inbox. It's harmless, and
probably triggered by a wayward client or misbehaving bot.
|
|
More of our Plack tests exercise public-inbox-httpd, nowadays;
and ExternalServer lets us test it easily alongside generic PSGI
stuff.
|
|
We don't want to cascade failures/warnings when something else
breaks. There's likely more of these to be fixed as we
encounter them.
|
|
Some more things have happened...
And drop some items which are too expensive to support,
such as automatic mirroring.
|
|
We may need to test against development versions of Xapian,
which may rely on setting `XAPIAN_COMPACT=xapian-compact-1.5'.
Ensure it's possible to do that.
And add a missing check in t/xcpdb-reshard.t, too.
|
|
Unfortunately, I'm not sure how easy catching these at
compile-time, is. Prototypes do not seem to check these
at compile time when crossing packages (not even with
exported subroutines).
|
|
|
|
This prepares us for future changes to improve scalability to
many inboxes.
|
|
It's only in RFC 2980 (not 977 or 3977), but Net::NNTP has
supported it since 2001, at least. We'll be making changes
to avoid pathological behavior, so test it, first.
|
|
While Perl implements tail recursion via `goto' which allows
avoiding warnings on deep recursion. It doesn't (as of 5.28)
optimize the speed of such dispatches, though it may reduce
ephemeral memory usage.
Make the code less alien to hackers coming from other languages
by using normal subroutine dispatch. It's actually slightly
faster in micro benchmarks due to the complexity of `goto &NAME'.
|
|
This should've always been there. I'm not sure how widely
spread 1.0 and earlier releases were, but we'll keep documenting
the version requirement.
|
|
Like the rest of the WWW code, public-inbox-httpd now uses
git_async_cat to retrieve blobs without blocking the event loop.
This improves fairness when git blobs are on slow storage and
allows us to take better advantage of SMP systems.
|
|
To avoid hogging the event loop in public-inbox-httpd when
many candidate messages match, we'll separate the steps to
ensure fairness on slow storage.
|
|
With public-inbox-httpd, this mitigates the effect of slow git
blob storage with multiple coderepos configured for an inbox.
It's still synchronous for now (and may need to remain that way
for ->last_check_err), but no longer monopolizes the event loop
when checking multiple coderepos.
We don't yet support multi-inbox scanning, yet; but this also
prepares us for a future where we do.
We'll also support >=40 char blob OIDs in preparation for future
git SHA-256 support, too.
|
|
By using the just-introduced ConfigIter class.
And make ManifestJsGz a subclass of it to reduce duplication.
|
|
With many inboxes, checking multiple SQLite repos will be slow
and time-consuming, so ensure we can schedule it fairly between
multiple inboxes.
|
|
This helped me diagnose an error I would've introduced
in the next commit.
|
|
We will need to allow simultaneous iterators on the same
config object, since we'll need this for ExtMsg, NNTPD,
WwwListing, NewsWWW, and other places.
|
|
In Perl, we can simplify callers by passing a single array
all the way down the stack instead of a single array ref which
needs to be expanded every call.
|
|
It's still as slow as before with hundreds/thousands of inboxes,
but at least it's fair. Future changes will allow it to be
cached and memoized with persistent HTTP servers.
|
|
"*foo" is ambiguous in that it may refer to a bareword file handle;
so we'll use it where we can without triggering warnings.
PublicInbox::TestCommon::run_script_exit required dropping the
prototype, however. We'll also future-proof by dropping "use
warnings" in Cgit.pm and use the less-ambiguous "//=" in Inbox.pm
while we're in the area.
|
|
With Perl upstream preparing to deprecate things, we'll move
towards only enabling warnings during development via shebang
and stop enabling them via "use".
We'll also favor "use v5.10.1" over the Perl 5.6-compatible "use
5.010_001", since our code base never worked on 5.6.
Finally, were also importing SEEK_SET without using it, just use it
for readability since we can't avoid loading Fcntl in other
places and it'll get constant-folded, anyways.
|
|
We'll be making changes to solver to make it even fairer
to slow clients on slow storage. Ensure we test with
public-inbox-httpd-specific codepaths, since the generic
PSGI code paths are rare in production use.
|
|
Use the full URL of the inbox being mirrored to reduce ambiguity
(instead of just the inbox name).
Using asymmetric quotes (e.g `foo') improves readability for me
in that it's more obvious when a quote begins and ends. It also
lights up fewer pixels and reduces visual noise compared to
double-quotes.
We'll also reflow the `mainrepo' vs `inboxdir' comment slightly
to emphasize the word `instead'.
|
|
Save screen space and light up fewer pixels to reduce visual noise.
|
|
The `solver' feature is not very obvious, give potential
users a hint about it.
|
|
We cannot blindly use the selected newsgroup for
HEAD/ARTICLE/BODY requests using Message-ID, since
those commands look across all newsgroups; not just
the selected one (if any).
So stuff a reference to the Inbox object into $smsg.
We can reduce args passed into set_nntp_headers() and
msg_hdr_write(), too.
Fixes: 0e6ceff37fc38f28 ("nntp: support slow blob retrievals")

Oops, I wanted to stop escaping double-quotes with `qq()' but
used `q()' instead :x
Fixes: 2f61828fcb727e51 ("www: make mirror instructions more prominent")
|
|
We don't want <a> tags without href= attributes to be colored,
since the `<a id=mirror>' tag in the HTML footer is intended
as an anchor destination for `<a href=#mirror>' link at the
top.
|
|
In order to fight the misconception that public-inboxes are
centralized, anchor "#mirror" to the clone instructions and
place an emphasis on "mirror", not just cloning.
While we're at it, better describe multi-epoch -V2 inboxes,
since some users do not seem to realize epochs consist of
different data.
|
|
We'll also fix the read-only code to ensure we notice missing
Xapian shards, since gaps would throw off our expectation that
Xapian document IDs and NNTP article numbers are interchangeable.
