Thanks a lot @joeyh for looking again at supporting external backends.
|
|
|
|
I think the issues with missing backend implementations are similar to issues with a missing external special remote implementation: something that the repo owner/maintainer needs to deal with. I periodically forget to put mine into the PATH, and then `git-annex` tells me to a special remote available. Fixing these issues has been manageable in practice.

For reference, these are some of the todos that support for external backends would obviate: [[todo/key_checksum_from_chunk_checksums]] [[todo/MD5E_keys_without_file_size]] [[todo/preserve_file_extensions_in_WORM_and_URL_keys]] [[todo/option_to_add_user-specified_string_to_key]] [[todo/add_xxHash_backend]] .
