I was getting errors mirroring and updating:
failed to connect to github.com: Connection timed out; class=Os (2)
and
remote 'origin' already exists; class=Config (7); code=Exists(-4)
It turns out that the `git_url` field, which I had been using previously
to mirror and clone repositories, was changed from an "https://" URL to
a "git://" URL. Since Reflectub is not authorised to clone any GitHub
"git://" URLs, the connection timed out.
The URL change seems to have happened around March 2022, or at least
between December 2021 and April 2022.
The second error was caused by a previously-created repository existing
in the filesystem, but not being in the database as it hadn't been
correctly mirrored. For now, I've decided not to fix that problem and am
only fixing the URL issue.
The GitHub API also includes a `clone_url` field, which contains the
HTTPS clone URL. This fixes the timeout problem.

Add full definitions for our new error variant ideas.
Use a distinct variant and message in each error case in order to trace
errors to the line of code where they occur.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These variants should make it easier to trace where in the code that a
particular error occurred, and include a context-descriptive error
message.
|
|
And add a change log.
|
|
We don't need to set the `agefile` config value because
"info/web/last-modified" is already CGit's default value for the
setting.
|
|
Reflectub is designed to work specifically with CGit, but could work
with other Git web frontends. Make this more explicit in the
description.
|
|
In order for CGit to know that the repository uses a default branch that
isn't "master", we need to set the `defbranch` setting in 'cgitrc'.
The mtime is read from either the "master" ref or the ref specified with
`defbranch`:
https://git.zx2c4.com/cgit/tree/ui-repolist.c?id=5258c297ba6fb604ae1415fbc19a3fe42457e49e#n56
|
|
I need to add another line to the repo-local cgitrc file to set the
default branch. Move this code to a function so we can reuse it.
|
|
|
|
If the default branch on GitHub changed, change the local mirror's HEAD
to match the new default.
Need to store the default branch in the database now so we can find out
whether it changed.
|
|
The default branch after mirroring was typically 'master'. On GitHub,
the default branch may not necessarily be 'master'. Change the default
branch by changing the HEAD to GitHub's default branch so that the
mirrored repository better matches GitHub.
We'll also need to make a change to the update function in case the
default branch changes after mirroring.
|
|
|
|
Now that we're done working out empty repository handling for setting
the mtime, revert this hard-coded test repository change.
|
|
|
|
Use `pushed_at` instead of `updated_at`. This mtime is used to sort
repositories on CGit's repository index page. Prevent things like GitHub
stars from changing the sort order. The sort should instead be
influenced by repository changes.
|
|
The `update_mtime()` function is getting pretty long. Extract this into
a new function since it's more of a self-contained unit.
|
|
Decided to keep the `match` expressions. Still working out how to clean
up the code in this function, though.
|
|
Adjust the match arms to remove a bit of indentation.
Add some 'anyhow' context to errors for better error reporting.
When "repo/refs/heads/[default-branch]" or "repo/packed-refs" files
don't exist, create a "repo/info/web/last-modified" file and set this
file as the CGit agefile in the repo's local 'cgitrc' file.
It's possible for a repo to not have either of the first two files when
the repo is empty and has no commits.
|
|
An idea to chain the error handling here instead of using `match`
expressions.
|
|
Add a couple of test repositories that we can use to test empty
repository handling.

After a bunch of investigation, first with a small 'git2' project, then
a 'libgit2-sys' project, then a 'libgit2' C project, I finally
discovered why setting the description worked on Mac OS but not on
Linux. Turning on the `GIT_REPOSITORY_INIT_EXTERNAL_TEMPLATE` repository
init flag caused the default description to be used instead of the
custom description passed in the init. Turn off the flag to allow us to
set the description on Linux.
Here is the source of the test builds I made:
git2 test:
use git2;
fn main() {
let path = "/tmp/test-repo";
let description = "the description";
let repo = git2::Repository::init_opts(
path,
&git2::RepositoryInitOptions::new()
.bare(true)
.external_template(false)
.description(description),
).unwrap();
}
libgit2-sys test:
use libgit2_sys;
use std::ffi::CString;
use std::ptr;
fn main() {
let _ = unsafe { libgit2_sys::git_libgit2_init() };
let mut repo = ptr::null_mut();
let path = CString::new("/tmp/test-repo").unwrap();
let description = CString::new("Test").unwrap();
let mut opts = libgit2_sys::git_repository_init_options {
version: libgit2_sys::GIT_REPOSITORY_INIT_OPTIONS_VERSION,
flags: libgit2_sys::GIT_REPOSITORY_INIT_MKDIR as u32
| libgit2_sys::GIT_REPOSITORY_INIT_MKPATH as u32
| libgit2_sys::GIT_REPOSITORY_INIT_EXTERNAL_TEMPLATE as u32,
mode: 0,
workdir_path: ptr::null(),
description: description.as_ptr(),
template_path: ptr::null(),
initial_head: ptr::null(),
origin_url: ptr::null(),
};
let error = unsafe {
libgit2_sys::git_repository_init_ext(
&mut repo,
path.as_ptr(),
&mut opts,
)
};
dbg!(&error);
}
libgit2 test:
#include <stdio.h>
#include "git2.h"
int main() {
int error;
const git_error *lg2err;
error = git_libgit2_init();
if (error <= 0) {
printf("git_libgit2_init error: %d\n", error);
}
git_repository *repo = NULL;
git_repository_init_options opts = GIT_REPOSITORY_INIT_OPTIONS_INIT;
/* Customize options */
opts.flags |= GIT_REPOSITORY_INIT_MKPATH; /* mkdir as needed to create repo */
opts.flags |= GIT_REPOSITORY_INIT_MKDIR;
/* opts.flags |= GIT_REPOSITORY_INIT_EXTERNAL_TEMPLATE; */
opts.description = "Custom test description";
error = git_repository_init_ext(&repo, "/tmp/test-repo", &opts);
printf("git_repository_init_ext error: %d\n", error);
lg2err = git_error_last();
if (lg2err != NULL) {
printf("%s\n", lg2err->message);
}
}

The previous README was just a quick usage note for others when I needed
to ask a question on IRC.
|
|
|
|
This avoids cloning names of repos that are processed successfully.
|
|
We know this runs on multiple threads now, so this debug line can be
removed.
|
|
|
|
I artificially limited the number of repositories processed to two for
testing so that I wouldn't download an mirror all of my repositories
while testing the program. Now that things seem to be working, remove
this artificial limit.
|
|
|
|
Rejigger some types and signatures to allow us to get references to the
`base_cgitrc` path instead of copying it for each repository.
|
|
Remove the `Iterator` test implementations that didn't work out.
|
|
Prefix each error line with the text "error: " to make it clear that's
what it is, and that it's separate from errors printed on other lines.
Worked out how to set up an `Iterator` for `MultiError` based on a
comment by 'chris-morgan' (https://old.reddit.com/user/chris-morgan) on
Reddit /r/rust:
> 1. Implement your own iterator type which wraps existing iterator
> types (std::slice::Iter, and std::vec::IntoIter if you want a
> consuming iterator).
> Advantages: most flexible, ensures API stability if you

Decided to use 'anyhow' errors instead of a generic boxed error.
|
|
So you know what the error referred to.
|
|
|
|
Make all chained methods indented.
|
|
Return all errors from repo processing. This allows us to provide
information on all errors that happened while processing, but continue
processing all the repos even if there's an error in one of them.
A new `MultiError` type wraps a list of errors to do this.
|
|
Not sure when or why I added this.
|
|
Remove my old tests now that we have a multi-threading setup that
actually works.
|
|
Use 'rayon' to parallelise the repository processing. Each repository is
processed in a thread in the default 'rayon' pool.
In order to get thread-safe access to the database, I followed some
advice from a Stack Overflow answer by VasiliNovikov
(https://stackoverflow.com/users/1091436/vasilinovikov):
https://stackoverflow.com/questions/62560396/how-to-use-sqlite-via-rusqlite-from-multiple-threads/62560397#62560397
VasiliNovikov recommended creating a database connection pool using
'r2d2_sqlite'. This way we don't have to share a database connection
between threads, but each thread can have its own connection.
This also means we can remove mutable requirements in a bunch of places
involving our `database::Db` type since we're no longer managing the
database connections directly.
|
|
Remove all async from the project by switching from 'reqwest' to 'ureq'.
This should make the code simpler, and hopefully enable us to try out
multithreading.
|
|
Turns out I need to specify all the flag I want in the open call,
including the one to open the database for reading and writing. This
fixes the "Error code 21: Library used incorrectly" error I was getting
earlier.
|
|
To allow us to work out where the error is coming from.
