### Please describe the problem. 1. Building minimal variant of git-annex failed. 1. Seems, that instructions about [minimal building from source](https://git-annex.branchable.com/install/fromsource/) are out-of-date, at least because options 'xmpp' and 'dns' don't exist in git-annex.cabal. 1. Also seems, that file Utility/SRV.hs unused, may be remove it? In git-annex.cabal 'Assistant' flag doesn't influence on list of modules, only on compile flags and dependencies. 'Assistant/\*' modules includes into base variant of building (and some 'Assistant/\*' modules turn on with WebApp flag). ### What steps will reproduce the problem? Try to build as in [archlinux package](https://git.archlinux.org/svntogit/community.git/tree/repos/community-x86_64/PKGBUILD?h=packages/git-annex), but turn off assistant: `runhaskell Setup configure -O --prefix=/usr --enable-executable-dynamic --disable-library-vanilla --docdir="/usr/share/doc/git-annex" -fconcurrentoutput -ftorrentparser -f-androidsplice -f-android -fproduction -fpairing -fwebapp -f-assistant -fwebdav -fs3 -f-benchmark -fdbus -fmagicmime` `runhaskell Setup.hs build` After that I got error: `Utility/Mounts.hs:13:1: error:` ` Could not find module ‘System.MountPoints’` haskell-mountpoints package is instaled. If turn on assistant flag, building is ok. ### Please provide any additional information below. I don't know haskell, but try to make optional building of Assistant, see [patch](https://github.com/fftmp/git-annex-min-pkgbuild/blob/master/0002-optional-build-assistant-and-other-small-cabal-refin.patch). Seems, that it works for minimal building, but may be incomplete. ### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system? 6.20180807, Archlinux ### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? (Sometimes we get tired of reading bug reports all day and a lil' positive end note does wonders) Yes, use it for several years and have approx 100G repo with 10k+ files. Works fine. > You had the webapp flag enabled and the assistant disabled. > That does not make sense; the assistant is part of the webapp. > That explains why it failed to build. Disabling both webapp and assistant > works, or only webapp and not assistant. > > Ok, fixed it to not build the webapp when the assistant flag is disabled. > [done]] --[[Joey]]
