@ -33,7 +33,30 @@ won't be updated, as discussed above.
The haskell aws library does not seem to support enabling versioning when
creating a bucket, so it would need to be done from the web console.
## final plan
## other considerations
If the user enables versioning in git-annex but forgets to enable it
in the bucket (or later suspends versioning in the bucket), it's no
big problem; old files will not be retained and git-annex will notice
this in the usual way (drop locking, fsck). So, it seems that initremote
does not need to check if the versioning=yes setting matches the bucket
configuration. For same reasons, it's ok to enable versioning for an
existing remote.
S3 does allow DELETE of a version of an object from a bucket. So it would
be possible to support `git annex drop` of old versions of a file from an
export remote. Dropping the current version though, would make the export
database inconsistent; it would not know that a file in the exported tree
was no longer present. I don't think that inconsitency can easily be
resolved -- bear in ming that multiple repositories can have an export db,
so it would need to look at location tracking for all objects in the export
to find ones that some other repository dropped. And dropping of only
keys that are not used in the current export doesn't help because another
repository may have changed the exported tree and be relying on the dropped
key being present in the export. Unless... Could export conflict resultion
somehow detect that?
## final plan (all done now)
Add an "appendOnly" field to Remote, indicating it retains all content stored
in it. done
@ -57,28 +80,9 @@ configured. done
Use version IDs when retrieving keys and for checkpresent. done
## remaining TODO
When bucket is public, use version ID to generate public url.
And, support git-annex operations on public url to versioned content.
