`git-annex addurl --fast/--relaxed --verifiable` now uses VURL keys,
|
||
|
|
which is an improvement over the old, un-verifiable URL keys. But users
|
||
|
|
have to know to use it, and can have URL keys in their repository.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Note that old git-annex, when in a repo with VURL keys, is still able to
|
||
|
|
operate on them fine, even though it doesn't know what they are.
|
||
|
|
Only fsck warns about them. So --verifiable could become the default
|
||
|
|
reasonably soon. It's not necessary to wait for everyone to have the new
|
||
|
|
version of git-annex.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
It might be good to nudge users to migrate their existing files to VURL
|
||
|
|
eventually. Could be a fsck warning about URL keys, at some point after
|
||
|
|
--verifiable becomes the default for addurl. Or could be a warning when
|
||
|
|
transferring the content between repositories that it's not possible to
|
||
|
|
verify it.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Of course if users want to continue to use URL keys, that's fine. Users can
|
||
|
|
also choose to use WORM keys if they really want to. --[[Joey]]
