Summary: Add ability to find binary cache tarballs via URI
Product: Sorcery
Version: Untargetted future release
Platform: Other
OS/Version: other
Status: NEW
Severity: normal
Priority: P2
Component: Feature Request
AssignedTo: sm-sorcery-bugs AT lists.ibiblio.org
ReportedBy: jblosser-smgl AT firinn.org


Apologies this is somewhat stream of consciousness, hopefully it makes
sense...

Currently it is possible to find a source tarball on a remote host via setting
LEAPFORWARD_URL, but you can't do the same thing to find a binary cache
tarball
to resurrect. You have to move them manually or NFS-share them around. It
would be nice if they had a leapforward feature as well.

This should be trivial to add, and I plan to work on it myself, but I'm not
sure
where you'll want it to go. The easiest would be to put something in
libresurrect that checks if a certain variable is set and if so try to pull
the
cache from there before can_resurrect() runs. But that means resurrect
talking
to remote hosts, which right now only summon does, so would you rather this be
added to summon, along with a command-line option to specify you want to pull
the binary instead of the source? That seems more generic but it also means
extending summon beyond getting sources.

Let me know what you think. Also what to call the variable. I guess
LEAPFORWARD is a pun against FALLBACK, but I'm not sure the same applies
here.
I guess we could do something like use LEAPFORWARD_URL if it is set, then add
separate SOURCE_LEAPFORWARD_URL and BINARY_LEAPFORWARD_URL vars that could be
checked first. Or we could use something completely different.
