[Duplicity-tracker] [bug #25512] [Patch] Retry on Imap failure

[anonymous]

Follow-up Comment #1, bug #25512 (project duplicity):

Hi, 

I've attached a new patch adding retry during reconnection too.
The only possible case of failure now is when login fails which is usually
detected on first connection.

I've tested this patch with a gmail IMAPS connection and the uploading went
fine during 2 days and 3.5GB and then Gmail stopped accepting more data (login
failed with message "Account exceeded bandwidth limits"). 

I could have fixed that too by catching IMAP4.error instead of IMAP4.abort,
but I guess it's not fair-use of Google's service, so I've kept the current
behaviour to only retry on socket, ssl and imap error, and not being a leech.


Without that patch, I couldn't upload more than 400MB before I got a sslerror
or an imap failure.
