For SL6/CentOS6 install the EPEL repo and yum install git-annex.

I was waiting for my backups to be done hence this article, as I was using
|
|
|
|
|
_git-annex_ to manage my files and I decided I needed to have
|
|
|
|
|
git-annex on a SL5 based machine. SL5 is just an opensource
|
|
|
|
|
clone/recompile of RHEL5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I haven't tried to install the newer versions of Haskell Platform and
|
|
|
|
|
GHC in a while on SL5 to install git-annex. But the last time I checked
|
|
|
|
|
when GHC7 was out, it was a pain to install GHC on SL5.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
However I have discovered that someone has gone through the trouble of
|
|
|
|
|
packaging up GHC and Haskell Platform for RHEL based distros.

* <http://justhub.org/download> - Packaged GHC and Haskell Platform
|
|
|
|
|
RPM's for RHEL based systems.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
I'm primarily interested in installing _git-annex_ on SL5 based
|
|
|
|
|
systems. The installation process goes as such...
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
First install GHC and Haskell Platform (you need root for these
|
|
|
|
|
following steps)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ wget http://sherkin.justhub.org/el5/RPMS/x86_64/justhub-release-2.0-4.0.el5.x86_64.rpm
|
|
|
|
|
$ rpm -ivh justhub-release-2.0-4.0.el5.x86_64.rpm
|
|
|
|
|
$ yum install haskell
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The RPM's don't place the files in /usr/bin, so you must add the
|
|
|
|
|
following to your .bashrc (from here on you don't need root if you
|
|
|
|
|
don't want things to be system wide)
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
$ export PATH=/usr/hs/bin:$PATH
|
|
|
|

|
|
Once the GHC packages are installed and are in your execution path, using
|
|
|
|
|
cabal to build git-annex just makes life easier, it
|
|
|
|
|
should install all the needed dependancies. See "minimal build with cabal
|
|
|
|
|
and stackage" in [[fromsource]] for instructions.
