ssb blobs meta

Oops! It looks like this method is advertised over muxrpc but not actually
available on the server. Let a developer know about this problem and someone
will fix it immediately.

What is ssb blobs meta supposed to do anyway? It's listed as a command from ssb blobs --help

(my real question is how to add a blob... I assumed it was something likessb blobs push "test2.jpg" or cat test2.jpg | ssb blobs push but they both return,

Happens on both Oasis 2.15.0 and 2.16.0 after I upgraded to it.

EDIT:
ok found /usr/local/lib/node_modules/@fraction/oasis/node_modules/ssb-blobs/README.md
which doesn't quite explain it and links to https://github.com/ssbc/secret-stack/blob/master/plugins.md which doesn't exist. Sorry for the messy Issue! Just taking notes on what I'm finding....

thanks!!!

Hi!

I have no idea, I think that functionality comes from https://github.com/ssbc/ssb-blobs/ but I don't remember what it's for. Adding blobs is supposed to be ssb blobs add < file.jpeg I think, but it requires a 'sink' stream where we upload a file to the server. Turns out there's lots of additional programming complexity when you use streams for some things but not for others. Also, ssb blobs add doesn't actually even tell you the hash of the blob you just uploaded, so this is hacked into ssb-server but not implemented in SSB-CLI. :/

After burning a bunch of hours trying to remain build better compatibility layers for the current back-end APIs I'm starting to think that maybe I should just write a new back-end. Sorry this isn't working correctly right now.
