Made a release yesterday, and caught up on most recent messages

earlier this week. Backlog stands at 128 messages.

Had to deal with an ugly problem with /usr/bin/glacier today. Seems that
|
||
|
|
there are multiple programs all using that name, some of them shipping in
|
||
|
|
some linux distributions, and the one from boto fails to fail when passed
|
||
|
|
parameters it doesn't understand. Yugh! I had to make git-annex probe to
|
||
|
|
make sure the right glacier program is installed.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
I'm planning to deprecate the glacier special remote at some point.
|
||
|
|
Instead, I'd like to make the S3 special remote support the S3-glacier
|
||
|
|
lifecycle, so objects can be uploaded to S3, set to transition to
|
||
|
|
glacier, and then if necessary pulled back from glacier to S3. That should
|
||
|
|
be much simpler and less prone to break.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
But not yet; [haskell-aws needs glacier support added](https://github.com/aristidb/aws/issues/81).
|
||
|
|
Or I could use the new amazonka library, but I'd rather stick with
|
||
|
|
haskell-aws.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Some other minor improvements today included adding `git annex
|
||
|
|
groupwanted`, which makes for easier examples than using vicfg, and
|
||
|
|
making `git annex import` support options like --include and --exclude.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Also I moved a many file matching options to only be accepted by
|
||
|
|
the commands that actually use them. Of the remaining common
|
||
|
|
options, most of them make sense for every command to accept (eg, --force
|
||
|
|
and --debug). It would make sense to move --backend, --notify-start/finish,
|
||
|
|
and perhaps --user-agent. Eventually.
