+Hello, I have a question about my tipical use case.
+
+I have a laptop with limited ssd space, 3 USB disks and I want to keep them in sync without using my laptop space.
+
+I specify:
+I want
+/media/disk1/Backup
+/media/disk2/Backup
+/media/disk3/Backup
+to be identical and synced, I can connect all the 3 drives to my laptop when I want to sync.
+Usually I add a batch of photos from the pc to one of the disk and git annex sync the files for me.
+
+BUT...
+
+In my future-proof environment I really prefer to have my files stored in "direct" mode in all of the 3 repositories, is this possible?
+So if something bad will happen I can just plug the disk in a brand new laptop and access my backup.
+
+How can I achieve this result?
+Thank you for your help

+I've been maintaining the recipe for installing git-annex with the  [conda-forge](https://conda-forge.org/) package manager.  I'm having trouble making the recipe work with the current conda-forge version, and would much appreciate any help, especially from people who understand Haskell/ghc/stack/cabal .  The recipe is here: https://github.com/conda-forge/git-annex-feedstock .  I keep getting error related to not finding libgmp, even though it is installed as a dependency:
+https://circleci.com/gh/conda-forge/git-annex-feedstock/157?utm_campaign=vcs-integration-link&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=github-build-link
+
+The benefit of having a working conda-forge recipe is that it enables git-annex installation without root privileges, and enables building other conda-installable tools that depend on git-annex.
+
+Thanks,
+
