[Tilesathome] Linux-client in upload-loop-mode....looping alot and fast....

[Ove Pettersen]

Hi...

During the last days I had to manually modify tilesGen.pl to stop the 
upload-loop from looping like crazy  :-\    

* Last week a plain checkout ran fine....
* A new fresh checkout yesterday required the modification below.



I have a process (perl tilesGen.pl upload_loop) that loops without any 
wait-delay when there are no files to upload in the directory.

 From what I find (last version of tilesGen.pl is version 11132) the sub 
upload is returning 1 when directory is empty. The surrounding code 
seems to expect a return-value of 0 to trigger the wait-delay.


To make the upload_loop work I had to change things a bit.

====================CUT tilesGen.pl
sub upload
{
    #upload all existing zip files
    keepLog($PID,"upload","start","$progressJobs");

    my $upload = new Upload;
    *my $saveReturnValue=*$upload->uploadAllZips();      # <<<modified line

    keepLog($PID,"upload","stop",0);

    *return($saveReturnValue); *                                       # 
<<<new line
}
====================CUT tilesGen.pl


Strange thing is that these code-lines hasn't changed in a long time.......
Could be there has been changes to the keepLog return-value that mask 
out the return-value from the $upload->uploadAllZips()


I run OpenSuse11-64bit.
