This patch contains migrations that require that there are no follow records.
If you have any, the migration will (hopefully) fail and you'll need to
manually delete any follow records you have. In the next patch I'll try to add
automatic following on the pseudo-client side by running both e.g. createNoteC
and followC in the same POST request handler.
Here's how it works:
- When Vervis starts, it writes a config file and it writes post-receive hooks
into all the repos it manages
- When a git push is accepted, git runs the post-receive hook, which is a
trivial shell script that executes the actual Haskell program implementing
the hook logic
- The Haskell hook program generates a Push JSON object and HTTP POSTs it to
Vervis running on localhost
- Vervis currently responds with an error, the next step is to implement the
actual publishing of ForgeFed Push activities
FedURIs, until now, have been requiring HTTPS, and no port number, and DNS
internet domain names. This works just fine on the forge fediverse, but it
makes local dev builds much less useful.
This patch introduces URI types that have a type tag specifying one of 2 modes:
- `Dev`: Works with URIs like `http://localhost:3000/s/fr33`
- `Fed`: Works with URIs like `https://dev.community/s/fr33`
This should allow even to run multiple federating instances for development,
without needing TLS or reverse proxies or editing the hosts files or anything
like that.
This patch also disables the ability to specify deps when creating a ticket,
because those deps won't be in the ticket object anymore. Instead of coding a
workaround and getting complications later, I just disabled that thing. It
wasn't really being used by anyone anyway.
The settings file is now used only during run time, and build-time settings are
set directly in source code. This patch removes those settings from the YAML
file, since they're unused, to avoid confusion.
CRITICAL: Due to the requirement that each new ticket points to its Offer
activity, ticket creation has been disabled! The next patches should implement
C2S submission of Offer Ticket, and then ticket creation will work again. Sorry
for that.
* Have a project team collection, content is the same as ticket team (but
potentially ticket team allows people to opt out of updates on specific
tickets, while project team isn't tied to any specific ticket or other child
object)
* Have a project followers collection, and address it in ticket comments in
addition to the already used recipients (project, ticket team, ticket
followers)
This allows the inbox system to be separate from Person, allowing other kinds
of objects to have inboxes too. Much like there's FollowerSet which works
separately from Tickets, and will allow to have follower sets for projects,
users, etc. too.
Inboxes are made independent from Person users because I'm going to give
Projects inboxes too.
There used to be project roles and repo roles, and they were separate. A while
ago I merged them, and there has been a single role system, used with both
repos and projects. However the table names were still "ProjectRole" and things
like that. This patch renames some tables to just refer to a "Role" because
there's only one kind of role system.
I added a migration that creates an ugly fake OutboxItem for messages that
don't have one. I'll try to turn it into a real one. And then very possibly
remove the whole ugly migration, replacing it with addFielfRefRequiredEmpty,
which should work for empty instances.
- Allow client to specify recipients that don't need to be delivered to
- When fetching recipient, recognize collections and don't try to deliver to
them
- Remember collections in DB, and use that to skip HTTP delivery
It runs checks against all the relevant tables, but ultimately just inserts the
activity into the recipient's inbox and nothing more, leaving the RemoteMessage
creation and inbox forwarding to the project inbox handler.
Inbox post is disabled but in the next patches I'll code and integrate a fixed
complete one, hopefully finally getting ticket comment federation ready for
testing.
I'm making this change because if an actor receives an activity due to being
addressed in bto, ot bcc, or being listed in some remote collection, the server
doesn't have a way to tell which actor(s) are the intended recipients, without
having an individual inbox URL for each actor. I could use a different hack for
this, but it wouldn't be compatible with other AP servers (unless the whole
fediverse agrees on a method).
I wasn't using sharedInbox anyway, and it's an optimization either way.
