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

now! --[[Joey]]

* 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).

|
|
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. Well, it all builds, but link fails:
|
|
|
|
|
"Unable to start C:\Program Files\Haskell
|
|
|
|
|
Platform\2013.2.0.0\mingw\bin/realgcc.exe (error code: 87)"
|
|
|
|
|
This is the same problem that occurs when trying to link it
|
|
|
|
|
with WebDAV or XMPP enabled.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Filed a ghc bug: <https://ghc.haskell.org/trac/ghc/ticket/8596>
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Tried to do a minimal build with only the assistant and webapp, but that
|
|
|
|
|
also failed to link (was around 40k gcc command line).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
May need to separate out Common and Git into standalone libraries to
|
|
|
|
|
work around this? Ugh.

|
|
|
* `git annex watch` works, but does not detect when files are still open
|
|
|
|
|
for write as they're being added (no lsof)
|
|
|
|
|
* `git annex assistant` has not been tested, is probably quite incomplete.
|
|
|
|
|
Is known to not download any files. (transferrer doesn't built yet)
