The git-annex Windows port is not ready for prime time. But it does exist

now! --[[Joey]]

|
* Does not work with Cygwin's build of git (that git does not consistently
|
2013-05-14 19:14:11 +00:00
|
|
|
support use of DOS style paths, which git-annex uses on Windows).
|
2013-12-09 20:00:48 +00:00
|
|
|
Must use Msysgit.

|
|
|
* rsync special remotes are known buggy.
|
2013-05-11 21:17:38 +00:00
|
|
|
* Bad file locking, it's probably not safe to run more than one git-annex
|
|
|
|
|
process at the same time on Windows.
|
2013-07-07 17:57:56 +00:00
|
|
|
* Ssh connection caching does not work on Windows, so `git annex get`
|
|
|
|
|
has to connect twice to the remote system over ssh per file, which
|
|
|
|
|
is much slower than on systems supporting connection caching.
|
2013-12-04 21:39:58 +00:00
|
|
|
* `git annex watch` works, but does not detect when files are still open
|
2013-12-09 19:01:43 +00:00
|
|
|
for write as they're being added (no lsof). So watch/webapp/assistant
|
2013-12-10 05:45:21 +00:00
|
|
|
may be unsafe.
|
2013-12-10 18:34:35 +00:00
|
|
|
* `git annex assistant` has not been tested, is probably quite incomplete
|
|
|
|
|
and/or buggy.
|
2013-12-10 05:00:10 +00:00
|
|
|
* Doesn't daemonize. Maybe use
|
|
|
|
|
<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Win32-services>
|
|
|
|
|
or perhaps easier,
|
|

|
<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/Win32-services-wrapper>

* XMPP library not yet built.

This should work to install the deps, using libs from cygwin
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
cabal install libxml-sax --extra-lib-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\lib --extra-include-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\usr\\include\\libxml2
|
|
|
|
|
cabal install gnuidn --extra-lib-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\lib --extra-include-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\usr\\include\\
|
|
|
|
|
cabal install gnutls --extra-lib-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\lib --extra-include-dirs=C:\\cygwin\\usr\\include\\
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
While the 1st line works, the rest fail oddly. Looks like lack of
|
|
|
|
|
quoting when cabal runs c2hs and gcc, as "Haskell Platform" is
|
|
|
|
|
taken as 2 filenames. Needs investigation why this happens here
|
|
|
|
|
and not other times..
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Also needs gsasl, which is not in cygwin.
