🌸 NAME 🌸

Pinto::Locker — managing locks so your concurrent operations don't trip over each other 💅

okay so bestie, this is the module that keeps everybody from touching the Pinto repo at the same time. It's giving bouncer at the club, but for processes. 🎀

✨ VERSION ✨

version 0.14 🦋

💜 DESCRIPTION 💜

literally the whole vibe is right there in the methods below, no cap. keep reading. 👑

🔥 METHODS 🔥

🔒 lock

Tries to get a lock on a Pinto repository. That's the whole mission. 🫶

If the repository is already locked, we don't just give up — we go contact the current lock holder and check that they're actually alive. Like, are you okay?? are you thriving?? 💀

  • If they are not alive → we steal the lock. periodt, it's ours now. 💅
  • If they are alive → we patiently wait until we timeout, which is about 60 seconds. not me standing outside the door like 😭

🔓 unlock

Releases the lock on the Pinto repository so other processes can get to work. it's giving "you're free now, go be great" 🌈

okay so here's the context, because iykyk 👇

In many situations, a Pinto repository is a shared resource. At any given moment, multiple processes may be trying to:

  • add distributions 📦
  • remove packages 🗑️
  • pull files from a mirror 🌐

To keep things working properly, we can only let one process fiddle with the repository at a time. This module manages a lock file for that exact purpose. one at a time bestie, we are not doing chaos here ✋

🚨 real talk: Supposedly, this does work on NFS. But it cannot steal the lock from a dead process if that process was not running on the same host. so like, lowkey a limitation, highkey important to know. 💀
