* unannex, uninit: Avoid committing after every file is unannexed,
for massive speedup.
* --notify-finish switch will cause desktop notifications after each
file upload/download/drop completes
(using the dbus Desktop Notifications Specification)
* --notify-start switch will show desktop notifications when each
file upload/download starts.
* webapp: Automatically install Nautilus integration scripts
to get and drop files.
* tahoe: Pass -d parameter before subcommand; putting it after
the subcommand no longer works with tahoe-lafs version 1.10.
(Thanks, Alberto Berti)
* forget --drop-dead: Avoid removing the dead remote from the trust.log,
so that if git remotes for it still exist anywhere, git annex info
will still know it's dead and not show it.
* git-annex-shell: Make configlist automatically initialize
a remote git repository, as long as a git-annex branch has
been pushed to it, to simplify setup of remote git repositories,
including via gitolite.
* add --include-dotfiles: New option, perhaps useful for backups.
* Version 5.20140227 broke creation of glacier repositories,
not including the datacenter and vault in their configuration.
This bug is fixed, but glacier repositories set up with the broken
version of git-annex need to have the datacenter and vault set
in order to be usable. This can be done using git annex enableremote
to add the missing settings. For details, see
http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/problems_with_glacier/
* Added required content configuration.
* assistant: Improve ssh authorized keys line generated in local pairing
or for a remote ssh server to set environment variables in an
alternative way that works with the non-POSIX fish shell, as well
as POSIX shells.

For SL6/CentOS6 install the EPEL repo and yum install git-annex.

I was waiting for my backups to be done hence this article, as I was using
|
|
_git-annex_ to manage my files and I decided I needed to have
|
|
git-annex on a SL5 based machine. SL5 is just an opensource
|
|
clone/recompile of RHEL5.
|
|
|
|
I haven't tried to install the newer versions of Haskell Platform and
|
|
GHC in a while on SL5 to install git-annex. But the last time I checked
|
|
when GHC7 was out, it was a pain to install GHC on SL5.
|
|
|
|
However I have discovered that someone has gone through the trouble of
|
|
packaging up GHC and Haskell Platform for RHEL based distros.
|
|
|
|
* <http://justhub.org/download> - Packaged GHC and Haskell Platform
|
|
RPM's for RHEL based systems.
|
|
|
|
I'm primarily interested in installing _git-annex_ on SL5 based
|
|
systems. The installation process goes as such...
|
|
|
|
First install GHC and Haskell Platform (you need root for these
|
|
following steps)
|
|
|
|
$ wget http://sherkin.justhub.org/el5/RPMS/x86_64/justhub-release-2.0-4.0.el5.x86_64.rpm
|
|
$ rpm -ivh justhub-release-2.0-4.0.el5.x86_64.rpm
|
|
$ yum install haskell
|
|
|
|
The RPM's don't place the files in /usr/bin, so you must add the
|
|
following to your .bashrc (from here on you don't need root if you
|
|
don't want things to be system wide)
|
|
|
|
$ export PATH=/usr/hs/bin:$PATH
|
|
|
|
Once the packages are installed and are in your execution path, using
|
|
cabal to configure and build git-annex just makes life easier, it
|
|
should install all the needed dependancies.
|
|
|
|
$ cabal update
|
|
$ git clone git://git.kitenet.net/git-annex
|
|
$ cd git-annex
|
|
$ make git-annex.1
|
|
$ cabal configure
|
|
$ cabal build
|
|
$ cabal install
|
|
|
|
Or if you want to install it globallly for everyone (otherwise it will
|
|
get installed into $HOME/.cabal/bin)
|
|
|
|
$ cabal install --global
|
|
|
|
The above will take a while to compile and install the needed
|
|
dependancies. I would suggest any user who does should run the tests
|
|
that comes with git-annex to make sure everything is functioning as
|
|
expected.
|
|
|
|
I haven't had a chance or need to install git-annex on a SL6 based
|
|
system yet, but I would assume something similar to the above steps
|
|
would be required to do so.
|
|
|
|
The above is almost a cut and paste of <http://jcftang.github.com/2012/06/15/installing-git-annex-on-sl5/>, the above could probably be refined, it was what worked for me on SL5. Please feel free to re-edit and chop out or add useless bits of text in the above!
|
|
|
|
Note: from the minor testing, it appears the compiled binaries from SL5 will work on SL6.
