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

|
* 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).
|
2013-05-14 19:04:45 +00:00
|
|
|
Must use the upstream build of git for Windows.

|
|
|
* 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.

|
|
|
* 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.

|
|
* Webapp doesn't build yet.
|
|
|
|
|
* `git annex watch` builds, but does not quite work.
|
|
|
|
|
* `git annex assistant` builds, but has not been tested, and is known
|
|
|
|
|
to not download any files. (transferrer doesn't built yet)
|
|
|
|
|
* watch and assistant cannot be built with cabal. Possibly due to too many
|
|
|
|
|
files overflowing command line length limit at link stage.
|
|
|
|
|
To build a binary with them:
|
|
|
|
|
`ghc --make git-annex.hs -threaded -XPackageImports -DWITH_ASSISTANT=1 -DWITH_WIN32NOTIFY=1`
|
|
|
|
|
(should add all the other flags cabal uses)
