mtboswell / syncer Goto Github PK

Create wizard similar to "Add Share" wizard, except that it will allow to add a share from github, bitbucket, or google code.

Proposed layout:

1. Get site username and share name from user
2. Create and display local public key and ask user to add to site
3. Once public key has been added, clone and add to syncer

Currently syncer can interfere with the actions available through the utils, particularly shred. Need to pause syncer when these utils open and resume when they close (i.e. on QProcess::finished()).

When syncer-gui has cloned an empty repository from the server, then files are added to the local folder, the files do not get synced back to the server until the master branch has been defined. This could be the pull interfering with the pushes.

Need a code review by someone besides Micah.

Shred currently leaves objects in the object store, that can be cleaned by the recreate-and-pull trick. Implement this hack, making sure to pause syncer first.

When starting syncer-gui from a shell when syncer was not the last app to update a git repo, syncer enters the stopped job mode and must be foregrounded to work. This happens after the tray icon is in place, i.e. after the SyncerLauncher constructor.

Figure out how to run on Mac OS X.

Syncer-gui should show some sort of notification (most likely a popup balloon) when folders are synced (incoming/outgoing?).

When syncer-gui is running and the network connection is lost, various errors pop up to indicate that the remote server could not be reached.

Create a wizard such as:

1. Take user account info
2. List shares on server, build list to add
3. Create shares on server

Attempt to authenticate with public key before asking for password from user.

Create wizard that uses the server admin account to create a user on the server. Wizard layout should be like:

1. Take admin acct username/password
2. Take desired new user username/passwordx2
3. Create new user on server
4. Launch server share setup wizard

When adding large files to a synced folder, they get 'git add'ed, but not commited or pushed. Re-starting syncer seems to commit them, then re-starting again occassionally seems to get them to push.

Integrate RemoteShellRunner with the Add Share Wizard (init).

After doing a fresh install on a Windows 7 system, the tray icon does not show up. Instead, a blank space shows in the tray.

Implement tagging, both in a simple "tag and push", or "mark milestone" util, as well as a modification of the Restore util with checkout tag. Could possibly add "restore to milestone" util instead.

Bug: when adding a folder to a watched folder, files in the folder do not get watched.

Modify syncer so that it changes its own working directory to its executable directory before it launches ShellRunner.

On Windows 7, something causes explorer.exe to use 100% of the cpu sometimes. Not sure what is causing this.

It would be nice to have backend commands that could be specified in a config file or from the GUI. This would be pretty easy to implement using QSettings and a UI.

Create a Wizard for adding a share, that finds all of the git repos on the server and lets you select which ones you would like to sync.

Possible bug: Runner enters 0-time loop while waiting for git to finish with a timeout of -1.

Putting the cygwin dir in the system PATH env variable causes the public-key auth to fail, because it uses the wrong ssh info. Unfortunately, placing the cygwin dir in the path is required for running a syncer server on windows. At the moment you can't run a server and syncer-gui on the same machine.
