This resulted in a lot of user complains that git annex init had git telling them they needed to run git config --global user.email .. which didn't work because even HOME was not passed into git.

### goals
|
|
|
|
1. Get git-annex working at the command line in Android,
|
|
along with all the programs it needs, and the assistant. **done**
|
|
2. Get an easy to install Android app built. **done**
|
|
2. Get the webapp working. Needs Template Haskell, or a workaround.
|
|
|
|
### Android specific features
|
|
|
|
The app should be aware of power status, and avoid expensive background
|
|
jobs when low on battery or run flat out when plugged in.
|
|
|
|
The app should be aware of network status, and avoid expensive data
|
|
transfers when not on wifi. This may need to be configurable.
|
|
|
|
### FAT
|
|
|
|
Due to use of the FAT filesystem, which doesn't do symlinks, [[desymlink]]
|
|
is probably needed for at least older Android devices that have SD cards.
|
|
Additionally, cripped filesystem mode is needed, to avoid hard links,
|
|
file modes, etc.
|
|
|
|
## TODO
|
|
|
|
* webapp
|
|
* autostart any configured assistants. Best on boot, but may need to only
|
|
do it when app is opened for the first time.
|
|
* Don't make app initially open terminal, but go to a page that
|
|
allows opening the webapp or terminal.
|
|
* I have seen an assistant thread crash with an interrupted system call
|
|
when the device went to sleep while it was running. Auto-detect and deal with
|
|
that somehow.
|
|
* Make git stop complaining that "warning: no threads uspport, ignoring --threads"
|
|
* git does not support http remotes. To fix, need to port libcurl and
|
|
allow git to link to it.
|
|
* getEnvironment is broken on Android <https://github.com/neurocyte/ghc-android/issues/7>
|
|
and a few places use it.
