I hope that today's git-annex release will be landing in Debian unstable
|
|
|
|
|
toward the end of the month. And I'm looking forward to some changes that
|
|
|
|
|
have been blocked by wanting to keep git-annex buildable on Debian 7.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Yesterday I got rid of the [SHA](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/SHA/)
|
|
|
|
|
dependency, switching git-annex to use a newer version of cryptohash for
|
|
|
|
|
HMAC generation (which its author Vincent Hanquez kindly added to it when I
|
|
|
|
|
requested it, waay back in 2013). I'm considering using the LambdaCase
|
|
|
|
|
extension to clean up a lot of the code next, and there are 500+ lines of
|
|
|
|
|
old yesod compatability code I can eventually remove.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These changes and others will prevent backporting to the soon to be Debian
|
|
|
|
|
oldstable, but the standalone tarball will still work there. And, the
|
|
|
|
|
git-annex-standalone.deb that can be installed on any version of Debian is
|
|
|
|
|
[now available from the NeuroDebian repository](http://neuro.debian.net/install_pkg.html?p=git-annex-standalone),
|
|
|
|
|
and its build support has been merged into the source tree.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
In the run up to the release today, I also dealt with getting the
|
|
|
|
|
Windows build tested and working, now that it's been updated to newer
|
|
|
|
|
versions of rsync, ssh, etc from Cygwin. Had to add several more dlls to
|
|
|
|
|
the installer. That testing also turned up a case where `git-annex init`
|
|
|
|
|
could fail, which got a last-minute fix.
