If I just add a remote drive via the web app, it syncs the repository to `/mnt/usb/annex`, and it looks like it just creates a bare repository in that folder. I need the repository to be synced to something like `/mnt/usb/subfolder/myspecifiedfoldername` and I need that remote to be a full repository.

My use case is that I use the USB drive to keep annexes in sync between two computers. I have multiple annexes that need to be synced between the two computers, and none of them are in a directory called `annex`. I also need to be able to plug the drive into other computers and access the files directly, without doing a `git clone` or anything like that. I have all of this setup and working fine with just plain old git annex, but the web app does not seem to support creating new repositories with this workflow.

I think it makes a lot of sense to allow the web application to add a new remote that is simply a directory. People like me could specify the path of the directory to be on the mounted USB drive. Others may want to add a remote that is a mounted network share or something like that.

I'm not sure whether this is a bug or not. I just ran into problems because I did not expect the cabal build process to create my desktop file but instead thought that git-annex will create it by it-self taking its own path. Perhaps it would make sense to produce an error if the bindir is invalid. An automatic expansion of '~' in the build script would be even better.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
|
||||
|
||||
Using the assistant, create an SSH remote. Try to use an alias as the name
|
||||
of the remote (e.g. I have a server which I have aliased to "homeworld" in
|
||||
my .ssh/config. When I'm at home, that is an alias for 192.168.1.253.
|
||||
When I'm not at home, I edit .ssh/config so that "homeworld" becomes an
|
||||
alias for a hostname at no-ip.com.) Despite the fact that "homeworld" is a
|
||||
viable ssh target because of the alias, the assistant doesn't recognize it
|
||||
as a valid host to ssh to.
|
||||
|
||||
I had trouble with an ip address the first time I tried it but just tried it again and it worked fine, so please disregard that part of the title of this bug report.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
|
||||
|
||||
expected output = move to the "create a repository -- rsync or regular" page.
|
||||
observed output = "cannot resolve host name"

I realize this is kind of a power user whine. Using an ssh alias which
|
||||
does not correspond to an actual resolvable hostname (and cannot, because
|
||||
it's supposed to be a layer of indirection over the hostname) is not an
|
||||
everyday problem for an average user.

When maintaining several replica of the same git-annex repo "git annex sync" is quite handy.
|
||||
But it would be even handier if "git annex sync" would also perform automatic "git merge synced/*" actions on all remotes.
|
||||
|
||||
Clearly, this is beneficial when the user wants to keep all working copies synchronized.
|
||||
This is likely the case in git annex assistant like scenarios. And it's always the case in my day to day scenarios :-)
|
||||
I'm not sure about other use cases that I've hard time imagining...
|
||||
|
||||
As just discussed on IRC (#vcs-home/OFTC), this could be implemented in various ways:
|
||||
|
||||
1) By doing ssh on each remote and running the appropriate "git merge ..." commands there.
|
||||
The drawback of this is that quite often it won't be permitted to ssh on the remote and run arbitrary commands there.
|
||||
|
||||
2) Having a default post-receive hook, created at the time of "git annex init" that automatically does the merges when contacted by other remotes as a consequence of "git annex sync".

||||

||||
|
||||
Thanks for git-annex!

I have a git-annex repository on a NSLU 2, and transfers are much slower over ssh compared to unencrypted transfers (no wonder at that CPU speed). For the files that I am transferring, no encryption would be necessary. Unfortunately, ssh in Debian does not support "-c none" to disable encryption.
|
||||
|
||||
It would be nice if git-annex would have a way of conveniently transferring files in another way than SSH. I’m not sure what a good way would be – maybe launching a one-shot HTTP-server on the sending end? Haskell libraries for that would be available... Of course it is not always the case that the host reachable with "ssh foo" is also reachable via TCP at "foo:1234"... And there are surely more problem. But still, it would be nice :-)
