Got git-annex downloading versioned files from S3, without needing S3
|
||
|
|
credentials. This makes a S3 special remote be equally capable as a
|
||
|
|
git-annex repository exported over http, other than of course not including
|
||
|
|
the git objects.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
An example of this new feature:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
AWS_SECRET_ACCESS_KEY=... AWS_ACCESS_KEY_ID=...
|
||
|
|
git annex initremote s3 type=S3 public=yes exporttree=yes versioning=yes
|
||
|
|
git annex export --tracking master --to s3
|
||
|
|
git tag 1.0
|
||
|
|
# modify some files here
|
||
|
|
git annex sync --content s3
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
And then in a clone without the credentials:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
git annex enableremote s3
|
||
|
|
git checkout 1.0
|
||
|
|
git annex get somefile
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
This is nice; I only wish it were supported by other special remotes.
|
||
|
|
It seems that any special remote could be made to support it, but ones not
|
||
|
|
supporting some kind of versioning would need to store each file twice,
|
||
|
|
and many would also need each file to be uploaded to them twice. But
|
||
|
|
perhaps there are others that do have a form of versioning.
|
||
|
|
WebDAV for one has a versioning extension in RFC 3253.
|
||

Also did a final review of a patch Antoine Beaupré is working on to
|
||
|
|
backport the recent git-annex security fixes to debian oldstable,
|
||
|
|
git-annex 5.20141125. He described the backport [in his blog](https://anarc.at/blog/2018-08-31-report/):
