remove xmpp support
I've long considered the XMPP support in git-annex a wart. It's nice to remove it. (This also removes the NetMessager, which was only used for XMPP, and the daemonstatus's desynced list (likewise).) Existing XMPP remotes should be ignored by git-annex. This commit was sponsored by Brock Spratlen on Patreon.

Want to share all the files in your repository with a friend?
|
||||
|
||||
Let's suppose you use Google Mail, and so does your friend, and you
|
||||
sometimes also chat in Google Talk. The git-annex assistant will
|
||||
use your Google account to share with your friend. (This actually
|
||||
works with any Jabber account you use, not just Google Talk.)
|
||||
|
||||
Start by opening up your git annex dashboard.
|
||||
|
||||
[[!img local_pairing_walkthrough/addrepository.png alt="Add another repository button"]]
|
||||
|
||||
`*click*`
|
||||
|
||||
[[!img pairing.png alt="Share with a friend"]]
|
||||
|
||||
`*click*`
|
||||
|
||||
[[!img xmpp.png alt="Configuring Jabber account"]]
|
||||
|
||||
Fill that out, and git-annex will be able to show you a list of your
|
||||
friends.
|
||||
|
||||
[[!img buddylist.png alt="Buddy list"]]
|
||||
|
||||
This list will refresh as friends log on and off, so you can
|
||||
leave it open in a tab until a friend is available to start pairing.
|
||||
|
||||
(If your friend is not using git-annex yet, now's a great time to spread
|
||||
the word!)
|
||||
|
||||
Once you click on "Start Pairing", your friend will see this pop up
|
||||
on their git annex dashboard.
|
||||
|
||||
[[!img xmppalert.png alt="Pair request"]]
|
||||
|
||||
Once your friend clicks on that, your repositories will be paired.
|
||||
|
||||
### But, wait, there's one more step...
|
||||
|
||||
Despite the repositories being paired now, you and your friend can't yet
|
||||
quite share files. You'll start to see your friend's files show up in your
|
||||
git-annex folder, but you won't be able to open them yet.
|
||||
|
||||
What you need to do now is set up a repository out there in the cloud,
|
||||
that both you and your friend can access. This will be used to transfer
|
||||
files between the two of you.
|
||||
|
||||
At the end of the pairing process, a number of cloud providers are
|
||||
suggested, and the git-annex assistant makes it easy to configure one of
|
||||
them. Once you or your friend sets it up, it'll show up in the other
|
||||
one's list of repositories:
|
||||
|
||||
[[!img repolist.png alt="Repository list"]]
|
||||
|
||||
The final step is to share the login information for the cloud repository
|
||||
with your friend, so they can enable it too.
|
||||
|
||||
With that complete, you'll be able to open your friend's files!
