git-annex.cabal: Loosen bounds on persistent to allow 2.5, which on Debian
has been patched to work with esqueleto. This may break cabal's resolver on
non-Debian systems; if so, either use stack to build, or run cabal with
--constraint='persistent ==2.2.4.1' Hopefully this mess with esqueleto will
be resolved soon.

This gets rid of quite a lot of ugly hacks around json generation.
I doubt that any real-world json parsers can parse incomplete objects, so
while it's not as nice to need to wait for the complete object, especially
for commands like `git annex info` that take a while, it doesn't seem worth
the added complexity.
This also causes the order of fields within the json objects to be
reordered. Since any real json parser shouldn't care, the only possible
problem would be with ad-hoc parsers of the old json output.
This makes -Jn work with --json and --quiet, where before
setting -Jn disabled those options.
Concurrent json output is currently a mess though since threads output
chunks over top of one-another.
Simplify Solver's task by requesting version 2.2.4.1 of the persistent
package instead of just providing the persistent < 2.5 constraint.
With only the persistent < 2.5 constraint, and with --flags=s3\ webapp
and --max-backjumps=10000, CI timed out after two hours with Solver
still trying to find a solution.
This is a follow-up to 18e458db, since there's been a regression in the
situation between 6.20160619 and 6.20160808, probably simply because
Hackage is a moving target.
Use nextRandom to generate the random UUID, rather than using randomIO.
This gets fixes for the following two bugs in the uuid library.
However, this did not impact git-annex much, so a hard depedency has
not been added on uuid-1.3.12.
https://github.com/aslatter/uuid/issues/15
"v4 UUIDs are not that random"
This doesn't greatly affect git-annex, because even with only
2^64 possible UUIDs, the chance that two git-annex repositories
that are clones of the same git repo get the same UUID is miniscule.
And, git-annex generates only one UUID per run, so preducting
subsequent UUIDs is not a problem.
https://github.com/aslatter/uuid/issues/16
"Remove Random instance for UUID, or mark it as deprecated"
git-annex was using that instance; let's stop before it gets
deprecated or removed.
metadata --json output format has changed, adding a inner json object
named "fields" which contains only the fields and their values.
This should be easier to parse than the old format, which mixed up
metadata fields with other keys in the json object.
Any consumers of the old format will need to be updated.
This adds a dependency on unordered-containers for parsing MetaData
from JSON, but it's a free dependency; aeson pulls in that library.
This actually runs faster than building the man pages from the makefile
did. But the main purpose is to let Setup.hs import Build.Mans and so not
need the makefile.
The tarball on hackage will include only the files needed for cabal install;
it is NOT the full git-annex source tree. While it's totally obnoxious that
cabal files need every file listed out when basic wildcard support could
avoid hundreds of lines, and have to be maintained when files are added,
this does get the tarball size back down to 1 mb.
This also stops stack from complaining that it found modules not listed in
the cabal file.
debian/changelog, debian/NEWS, debian/copyright: Converted to symlinks
to CHANGELOG, NEWS, and COPYRIGHT, which used to symlink to these instead.
This avoids needing to include debian/ in the hackage tarball.
Setup.hs: Build man pages at install time using make and mdwn2man.
If it fails, which it probably will on windows, just skip installing
them.
According to https://github.com/redneb/disk-free-space/issues/3 ,
disk-free-space should be at least as portable as my homegrown code was.
One change I noticed is, getDiskSize was not implemented for windows
in the old code, and should work now.
