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.
|
2014-02-04 01:24:23 +00:00
|
|
|
* rsync special remotes with a rsyncurl of a local directory are known
|
|
|
|
|
buggy. (git-annex tells rsync C:foo and it thinks it means a remote host
|
|
|
|
|
named C...)
|
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.
|
2013-12-10 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.

|
* Switching between local repos in webapp hangs.
|
|
|
|
|
* After adding a local repo and trying to switch to it, and rebooting,
|
|
|
|
|
starting git-annex from the menu failed with `file://C:\Documents does
|
|
|
|
|
not exist`. The local repo was `C:\Documents and Settings\...\...`
|
|
|
|
|
* View debug log is empty in windows -- all log must goes to console.
|
|
|
|
|
* Adding removable drive repo failed setting core.fsyncobjectfiles
|
|
|
|
|
Error: `could not lock config file /annex/.git/config: No such file or
|
|
|
|
|
directory` -- seems to be a drive path problem?
|
|
|
|
|
* Local pairing seems to fail, after acking on Linux box, it stalls.
|
|
|
|
|
* rsync.net setup failed. Seems to have generated a hostname including
|
|
|
|
|
the directory somehow.
|
|
|
|
|
* gcrypt is not ported to windows (and as a shell script, may need
|
|
|
|
|
to be rewritten)
|
2014-02-11 20:12:22 +00:00
|
|
|
* webapp lets user choose to encrypt repo, and generate gpg key,
|
|
|
|
|
before checking that gcrypt is not installed
|
2014-02-10 22:24:36 +00:00
|
|
|
* glacier-cli is not easily available (probably)
|
|
|
|
|
* When clicking on the Files at the top of the webapp, a file
|
|
|
|
|
browser *is* opened, but it has a Z-order underneath the web browser.

## stuff needing testing
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* test S3 and box.com setup in webapp now that they should work..
|
|
|
|
|
* test that adding a repo on a removable drive works; that git is synced to
|
|
|
|
|
it and files can be transferred to it and back
|
|
|
|
|
|
