Previously, we would process any valid inventory or refs announcement.
This could cause problems for keeping sync statuses, as we could get
a refs announcement from a node that isn't in our database.
In practice, there is no good reason why we should receive a refs or
inventory announcement before the announcer's node announcement, unless
nodes are not following the protocol.
Implementing this change meant that many of the tests needed updating,
as it wasn't assumed that a node announcement was needed before
receiving inventories etc. from a peer.
We also had to implement a basic form of node address banning to make
the tests pass after this change.
We add the necessary database table to keep track of which node has
synced which of our repos. This will be useful for giving the user
information on the sync status of every local repository.
Instead of storing received gossip messages in an in-memory `BTreeMap`,
we persist them to the database (`addresses.db`). There are two reasons
for this:
1. Node restarts do not wipe the state, meaning that it is much less
likely that some gossip message will get lost before reaching all
nodes.
2. This will allow us in the next commit to know how far behind we are
after a restart, to be able to request the correct time range of
gossip messages that we missed while offline.
Note that we now share the addresses.db file between two connections and
stores, which we don't do anywhere else. Having multiple connections to
the same database is fine, but the way we're having to do it is a bit
awkward. In a future patch, we could pull out the database schema from the
`address` module and rename the database to make things clearer.
Add `deny.toml` with a few exceptions, and update certain dependencies
to get rid of duplicates.
Running `cargo deny check` will yield some warnings still, but no
errors.
As a starting point, we populate the address book (if empty) with some
bootstrap nodes which are trusted.
To prevent these nodes being connected to during tests (including e2e
tests), we create a new constructor for `Config` that is used in tests.
Note that a `cfg(test)` check is not enough given that e2e tests don't
have that set.
This is a fairly substantial change, which adds a new configuration file
to the user's `$RAD_HOME` that includes node configuration, including
the alias, and also makes node aliases required.
When running `rad auth`, the user is now prompted for an alias, which
defaults to `$USER`.
When running `rad self`, the alias is now shown.
If the user runs radicle without a config file, the defaults are loaded,
and `$USER` is used as the alias.
* Return the correct alias from a node announcement, stripping '\0'
bytes.
* Accept `AliasStore` types as references and as owned.
* Store a `null` in the database if the alias received is empty.
Previously, we only sent the announcement when there were external
addresses. But it contains other information like the node alias,
therefore we always send it.
Since the proof-of-work can be expensive to compute everytime, we add
the ability to load the local node announcement from the file system.
We also change the proof-of-work parameters so that they are relaxed
when running in debug mode, instead of when running tests.
Finally, we remove the boolean validation of the PoW. Instead, we store
the work per-node, in the database, to be used in the future in case of
DoS attacks or network congestion.
