This reverts commit e930237f61.
Unbelievably, that worked, somehow the preprocessed file had gotten
cached from the wrong version. Windows has found a new way to amaze me in
its horribleness.
build is failing on commit d409f92318
but the error message quotes a version of Utility/Process/Transcript.hs
before a fix yesterday. All I can think is stack may have cached the old
version, perhaps after cpp?
md5sum is part of busybox, so is probably available unless it were compiled
out. If md5sum (or cut for that matter) is not available, it will
still use the whole path to $base, otherwise hash it.
Of course it's possible for md5sum to be available sometimes and not others
on the same system; in such an event the locales would be built twice for
the same bundle. The cleanup code will delete both sets once that
version of the bundle is upgraded.
A warning message is unsatisfying. But erroring out is too hard a failure,
especially since it may well work fine if the user has enabled passwordless
ssh.
I did think about falling back to one ssh connection at a time in this
case, but it would have needed a rework of every ssh call, which
seems far overboard for such a niche problem. There's no single place where
git-annex runs ssh, so no one place that it could block a concurrent call
on a semaphore. And, even if it did fall back to one ssh connection at a
time, it seems to me that doing so without warning the user about the
problem just invites bug reports like "git-annex is ignoring my -J2 and
only doing one download at a time". So a warning is needed, and I suppose
is good enough.
This makes it be the same as in the linux runshell.
It may be that bundle/ used to have all the necessary binaries in it,
but that seems unlikely. I think that the breakage fixed by my previous
commit masked this other breakage, and anything git execs from git-core
(as opposed to being buitin) has never worked in the OSX dmg.
This allows the rpm to be built anywhere the necessary build deps are
available (including on debian) and the resulting package will work on as
broad a range of rpm distributions as the libc/kernel supports.
The DistributionUpdate changes to use the new script have not yet been
tested.
rsync is only needed for rsync special remotes and git-annex-shell from
Debian oldstable. Since the library situation on windows for rsync required
a particular 32 bit build of git for it to work, and may also somehow need
git-annex to be 32 bit build, it's better to not include it.

stack upgrade --git is failing on windows, the ghc version it downloaded to

~/.profile works for bash, but not all other login shells.
This setting PATH is a minor convenience for users, particuarly since
typing on android is so much harder. The usual linux standalone bundle
just expects the user to know how to add it to PATH. I don't want this
code to grow special cases for every possible login shell. So displaying a
message to the presumably minority who don't use bash seems like the best
choice.
Longer term, I'd hope termux gets some way to set an environment variable
for all login shells. Systems using PAM can, via ~/.pam_environment. Or
alternatively, add a git-annex package to termux, even if just an installer
package. I'd rather spend time on either of those than on making this minor
thing support more login shells.

This is to work around https://github.com/datalad/datalad/issues/2769
which I don't know how to reproduce outside that environment, nor do I
understand the root cause of. For some time, Neurodebian has been working
around it by building its standalone debs with a patch that disables use
of the locales bundled with the standalone build, letting the system
locales be used.
Using the system locales is asking for trouble if there's
significant version skew between the system and bundled glibc, and
possibly also if the architeciture is different, or whatever. That's why
git-annex bundles and uses its own locales, because numerous users
reported real problems with using the system locales.
... However, in the specific case of the Neurodebian standalone debs,
the deb is built on a system very like the one it's targeted to be
installed on. Or well, so they assure me, although doc/install/Ubuntu.mdwn
also promotes those for use across all versions of Ubuntu, and the deb
is built avoiding xz so it will work with old versions of dpkg, so I wonder
how true it is. It does seem that, at least currently, there is no bad
version skew in the locales of the systems the deb is used on, since
it's already been using the system locales for some time.
Anyway, since the Neurodebian build already is setting
GIT_ANNEX_PACKAGE_INSTALL=1 in runshell, I made runshell use system
locales when that's set. This is a small scope creep for
GIT_ANNEX_PACKAGE_INSTALL, but it's not documented and AFAIK only used
for the Neurodebian build, so that seems ok. This will let them stop
carrying their patch for this forward.

The bundled uname -o says Linux in termux; have runshell on Android
delete it so the termux one is used instead.
This fixes the webapp so it will enter Android mode.

Running git-annex linux builds in termux seems to work well enough that the
only reason to keep the Android app would be to support Android 4-5, which
the old Android app supported, and which I don't know if the termux method
works on (although I see no reason why it would not).
According to [1], Android 4-5 remains on around 29% of devices, down from
51% one year ago.

This is a rather large commit, but mostly very straightfoward removal of
android ifdefs and patches and associated cruft.
Also, removed support for building with very old ghc < 8.0.1, and with
yesod < 1.4.3, and without concurrent-output, which were only being used
by the cross build.
Some documentation specific to the Android app (screenshots etc) needs
to be updated still.

* Added arm64 Linux standalone build. (No autobuilder yet.)
* Improved termux installation process.
Added git-annex-install.sh script to avoid user needing to type as much in
termux. The scope of this script is limited; runshell handles the rest.
Runshell runs termux-fix-shebang on the shell scripts. The problem is
the bundled bin/sh script, deleting that script also works, but then the
others probably use the system Android /bin/sh, which could be old or
broken or not posix or whatever. Using termux sh to run the scripts is
better.

On android arm64, I saw the cp fail with "Bad system call", because proot
has not run yet. runshell only recently started using cp, and it's bundled
with git-annex, so this fixes a reversion.

It can be set to an empty string to use the system locales too. Of course
whether that will work depends on the amount of divergence.

linux standalone: Generate locale files in ~/.cache/git-annex/locales/ so
they're available even when the standalone tarball is installed in a
directory owned by root.
This avoids a full-on reference counting cleanup hell, by letting old
locale caches linger as long as the standalone bundle directory associated
with them is still around. Old ones get cleaned up.
In the case where the directory has a new bundle unpacked over top of it,
the old locale cache is invalidated and rebuilt. Of course, running
programs using that may get confused, but this was already the case, and
unpacking over top of a bundle is probably not a good idea anyhow.
To support that, added a buildid file, which only needs to be unique across
builds of git-annex with different libc versions. sha1sum of git-annex
seems good enough for that.
Removed debian/patches/standalone-no-LOCPATH as it's no longer
necessary.

This way, autobuilders can run it before building, in a tree where
git-annex was already built, and get the current git rev embedded in the
build.
Before, the version number only updated when the setup program was run,
which was up to cabal and not on every build.
runshell: Use proot when running on Android, to work around Android 8's
ill-advised seccomp filtering of system calls, including ones crucial for
reliable thread locking. (This will only work with termux's version of
proot.)

runshell followed by git annex webapp didn't install that stuff, because
GIT_ANNEX_APP_BASE is not set. Running git-annex.linux/git-annex-webapp did
install that stuff, since that script set the env var. I noticed this with
the termux port whose instructions currently go that way.
Seems the right thing to do is to move the env var setting to runshell.
Added some tweaks to make git-annex work in termux on Android. The regular
arm standalone tarball now works in termux.
I guess the test for "$base/bin/git" is not really necessary, since it
tests for git-annex. Since that gets deleted on android, removed that test.
These are pretty hackish hacks, especially adding it to PATH. The goal is
to make it work well enough out of the box on Android.

Preloaded libraries from the host system may not get along with the bundled
linker.
This was observed by users in termux:
ERROR: ld.so: object '/data/data/com.termux/files/usr/lib/libtermux-exec.so' from LD_PRELOAD cannot be preloaded (wrong ELF class:
ELFCLASS64): ignored.
Bad system call
But it could also affect more usual systems; the preloaded library might rely
on symbols from the host libc that are not available or have the wrong versions
in the bundled libc. Unsetting LD_PRELOAD entirely seems safest.
Removed a few things that are not in the bundle anymore.
Checked all the bundled C libraries and executables and added some
missing license information for new dependencies.
Did not check for new haskell libraries.
As it was getting too expensive to patch out use of the "new" syscalls
We could revisit this if someone has hardware with an older kernel
that's still being maintained, but I've verified that the Synology
NAS that had used a too old kernel version has been updated to 2.6.32.
