Botan license change (patch review plz)

Jack Lloyd — 2008-11-30T17:56:01

In April 2008 the license for botan changed slightly (details at http://lists.randombit.net/pipermail/botan-devel/2008-April/000527.html) This patch changes three files, AUTHORS and gzip.{cc,hh} For AUTHORS I just copied the (C) notice for botan to match the text in nvm's botan/license.txt (presumably AUTHORS just never got updated after the inital import of botan into nvm) For gzip, I changed the copyright to reflect the authors and actual in-the-legal-sense copyright holders of botan's zlib.{cpp,h} on which the gzip implementation is based. These are Peter J Jones (of Netxx fame) who wrote the bzip2 support for botan (actually the very first piece of contributed code for botan), which I later copied and modified for zlib. This does not AFAIK actually change anything, because (since 'The Botan Project' did not exist in any legal sense) the copyright was always actually owned by Peter and myself, so this just changes the files to more accurately reflect reality. I can check in if OK. -Jack # # old_revis

Filesystem normalisation

Peter Stirling — 2008-11-29T05:44:56

Hi, I've written a small module (it's one 'public' function and some support functions to make it clearer as to what it's doing) that solves the 'mtn add apple Apple' on Mac OS X. It uses Mac OS system calls to do its work so it will will need to only be compiled and linked for that. I've not worked with autoconf etc so I don't know how to do that conditional compilation (I've made a small driver program to work on it). Since I don't know how to do that I've not been able to build monotone with it, and consequently can't make a monotone style unit-test, or a patch that can be applied. The idea is to have a function void plaform_fs_normalisation_hook( std::string & const in, std::string & out ) that can be called from args_to_paths() (cmd.hh:146 on nvm 93e7e626c6ee8db33a21eabcfab00d97f1bed8c2). After the hook is complete the 'out' parameter contains either a version of the filename as the filesystem stores it on disk, or it will be the same as 'in' (if an error occurs) I chose to pu

Monotone Mini Summit: 2009-01-18 - 2009-01-19

Matthew A. Nicholson — 2008-11-25T18:00:36

Ok, No one strongly objected to the January 18 and 19, 2009 time frame, so let's go with that. We should generate a list of things to work on so that we have some direction once the mini-summit rolls around. I made a list on IRC recently, but I have since forgotten it. Either way, this is what I have so far. * Finish wiki migration and reorganization. I think we should spend some more time discussing how we will organize the new wiki. * Reorganize QuickieTasks and make it into a "Tasks" section of the wiki. The idea here is to give people with time and skills a direction to move towards. Ideally this new section would contain implementation ideas for all of the features we discuss on the mailing list. For an example, see: http://mtn-wiki.1erlei.de/wiki/PartialPull/ Please add your ideas to this list.

question about multiple syncs

Hugo Cornelis — 2008-11-22T00:33:53

I am working on the same project on 4 different PCs. This means a lot of sync operations between the repositories on the different PCs. So I have automated these frequent syncs using a perl script. The problem now, is that I am often loosing track about what was synchronized from where. What is the most easy way to add a cert to the repository to keep track of the original PCs where the commit was made ? What is the most easy way to add certs to the repository that flags a particular revision as being synchronized to a destination repository ? Is it possible to do this over Lua hooks ? Performance concerns ?

weird monotone behavior

Hugo Cornelis — 2008-11-16T02:22:14

Hi, I am using monotone 0.40 statically linked, downloaded from the monotone website on a redhat enterprise server 5. I encountered the following problem: I have a project that uses a database ~/neurospaces_project/MTN/installer.mtn I pulled an external database of the same project to ~/neurospaces_project/MTN/neurospaces-developer.mtn Changed the options files in a workspace, then did the things below. In a summary, after changing the option file, asking for a log overwrites the options file and makes it invalid. Changing back to the original database did not help. Not sure if I am doing something wrong, but monotone making the options file invalid makes me feel uncomfortable :( [19:46] (0,2) 0 $ cat _MTN/options database "/local_home/hugo/neurospaces_project/MTN/neurospaces-developer.mtn branch "0" [19:46] (0,2) 0 $ mtn log --debug mtn: searching for '_MTN' directory with root '/' mtn: working root is '/local_home/hugo/neurospaces_project/installer/source/snapshots/0' mtn: initial relative path i

heads up on nvm.stripped

Markus Wanner — 2008-11-12T18:19:06

Hi, I've upgraded and tested nvm.stripped with the recently announced botan 1.7.21 and SQLite 3.6.5. The code to switch sha1 engines within monotone caused problems with the newer botan release. As we do not use that code anywhere except for the benchmark_sha1 command, I've simply removed it. It rather looks like botan offers something similar to benchmark various sha1 engines. I didn't look into that, though, but don't think we need to duplicate that work. nvm.stripped now compiles fine and passes all tests again.

making I(), E(),N() throw bad_decode for network data

Timothy Brownawell — 2008-11-10T04:26:59

It's possible to I() a server by sending invalid data, this actually happened here when merge_into_dir came out and not-up-to-the-minute versions thought the resulting revisions were bogus. I've just pushed a revision that makes the sanity macros look at a 'made_from' value, and throw bad_decode instead of their normal behavior if that value is set to made_from_network. ATOMIC and ENCODING types and revision_t have a member like this, and revision_t rev; rev.made_from = made_from_network; read_revision(garbage_data, rev); does actually throw bad_decode now for at least some kinds of garbage. I don't particularly like having the macros take a "hidden" argument like this, but I'm not sure what would be better. Having them call some function that you can declare in your class seems slightly cleaner, but that wouldn't allow things like made_from_t made_from(rev.made_from); I(rev.new_manifest == roster_manifest_id); (database::put_roster_for_revision) and keeping the function call inside the condition chec

Error on monotone server

Mando Rodriguez — 2008-11-04T20:33:02

Hello, I have a monotone repository being hosted on a server. When doing a pull it will hang on the revisions count and sometimes require the user to terminate the process and attempt the pull 2 or 3 times before it complete successfully.

mtn buildbots

Markus Wanner — 2008-11-03T10:25:45

Hi again, besides the wiki, what's up with the buildbots? Most of those seem to be more redish than green, but mostly because the bots are down. Maybe that's a complaint towards buildbot itself, but I find it troublesome to distinguish between monotone failures and buildbot ones. Additionally, I'd like to start thinking about testing of nvm.stripped. For that, the bots would need to have the required libraries installed. Preferably with some comments about which versions of the libraries are installed. I'd like to add some bots with different library versions. Virtual ones and most probably all Debian, but none the less... Regards Markus Wanner

mtn wiki

Markus Wanner — 2008-11-03T10:18:45

Hi, the wiki has partly been migrated to another wiki system on the last summit. That's great, but the efforts somehow stalled. We are now left with a wiki marked as "do not edit" for already more than half a year. I only had a quick glance at the newish wiki branch, so I'd like to know from those in the know: * what's missing on the new ikiwiki? * what does it take to switch to the new one? * what does it give us, that the former one didn't? Regards Markus Wanner

nvm.resolve_conflicts ready to land on mainline

Stephen Leake — 2008-11-01T16:26:21

I believe nvm.resolve_conflicts is ready to land on mainline. The main feature on this branch is the new set of commands 'mtn conflicts *', that provide asynchronous conflict resolution, and an automated resolution for duplicate name conflicts. More on this below. In addition, there are some other small changes in behavior: paths.cc normalize_external_path no longer rejects "" as a path. This simplifies parsing the conflict resolution file, and makes other path handling more consistent. This was discussed here briefly, with no solid conclusion. Several file_path functions now take an argument "to_workspace_root" indicating that the path is relative to the workspace root, not the current directory. The --message or --message-file argument to merge and propagate specify the user part of the commit message; the current 'merge rev rev' or 'propagate from to' message is automatically prefixed. The prefix can be suppressed by --no-prefix. To understand the 'mnt conflicts' commands, I suggest you start by re

changing behavior of --message and --message-filefor propagate

Stephen Leake — 2008-10-26T13:58:46

As part of implementing the resolve_conflicts commands, I'd like to change the behavior of --message and --message-file for propagate and merge. I'd like mtn to insert the current message: propagate from branch 'testbranch2' (head c606ed519e48f526bb130fd64fef712f795f0625) to branch 'testbranch1' (head 04fe9ed6642b2e258162f948934726a3085e473f) and then append the user-specified message. This allows a file-by-file description of changes for files modified by the conflict resolution process, similar to what we normally do for regular commits. However, this breaks the schema_migration_with_rosterify test, although not seriously. Part of that test compares the certs in two databases. One of the certs is the changelog for a propagate. Normally the two certs would be different because of different revids, but the test uses --message-file to specify one of the changelog certs to be the same as the other. My change above makes the certs no longer the same. One way to fix the schema_migration_with_r

Lua loading dynamic libraries not possible inmonotone?

Markus Hanauska — 2008-10-24T12:43:03

Hello! Can someone comment on this bug https://savannah.nongnu.org/bugs/?24639 ? What is causing it? Is it a bug or is it by intention? I'd like to create hooks in monotone that need to run native code. The only way to do so is to create a dynamically loadable library, load it from within my Lua script and execute code of it. However, when doing so, monotone Lua says that the support for this feature is missing. Any ideas why? The platform itself supports this. When downloading and building Lua command line interpreter, I can run the code and it works just fine. Kindest regards, Markus
