* 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.

# How to use git-annex on a Synology NAS
|
|
|
|
This is known to work with DSM 4.3-3810 Update 1 and git-annex standalone version 5.20131224-g6ca5271.
|
|
|
|
## Installation Steps
|
|
|
|
(1) In the DSM Package Center, install Git, which is available from Synology (no third-party repository needed).
|
|
|
|
(2) Download the latest [[standalone|install/Linux_standalone]] git-annex build for Linux on armel.
|
|
|
|
(3) Extract it somewhere sensible (eg: a bin/ directory your users home directory)
|
|
|
|
(4) Go into the git-annex.linux directory and ./runshell. You can now run git-annex as you normally would.
|
|
|
|
## How to sync with the Synology NAS
|
|
|
|
### On the Synology
|
|
(1) Setup port forwarding and associated dynamic dns, if applicable. Many good guides online for this.
|
|
|
|
(2) Setup ssh key based authentication with the Synology for each computer you want to sync with it. You want a specific key that is used only by git-annex, for each computer. Again, many good guides online.
|
|
|
|
(3) In the Synology .ssh/authorized_keys file for your account, add (substituing your username)
|
|
[[!format sh """
|
|
command="/home/$yourusername/.ssh/git-annex-shell"
|
|
"""]]
|
|
to the beginning of the line. Eg, it would look like this:
|
|
[[!format sh """
|
|
command="/home/greg/.ssh/git-annex-shell" ssh-rsa AAAAB3NzaC1yc2EAAAADAQABAAABAQDT1yE96E/JQNPt0ziiNYJRvndCvLK4uG5h/SNYoAIBF1uH6L7VYAt3HWVqSyi3BcV70WDZ/yWgtNzbrcir46JpvEHMcvYaXLbANwoDGNjG/gsz7kP/8VUxZ6hG3P3ICuwnqVum5+rYXm6oj3xzWPfTRhhRoDZLOQdevSNpdGNaa/lSg8Vuq2suHwjQlQb8AIUuCZmS5cm6XwoUq/jJtN4LTuTPqMjzA6NkdhWM2Kigi9jPQBFborkYBPMphmZwBZiVnhsH1XpaOff+mP03D2gF/huC+b1vbWQstjuehUbY59rvJ4ijb3810Uq2ep7dwLagmILtX5GbL+GS64pAn9sIP annex-othercomputer
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
(4) the git-annex-shell script in your .ssh should be created for you aftering your initial ./runshell
|
|
|
|
(5) Double check that the script points to the correct directory of where your extracted git-annex.linux lives.
|
|
|
|
### On the other computers - the manual way
|
|
(1) See step 2 above about creating the specific git-annex ssh keys.
|
|
|
|
(2) In your .ssh/config, create an alias for your Synology that includes specifying the right sshkey. For example, mine looks like:
|
|
[[!format sh """
|
|
Host synologyhost
|
|
HostName mydynamicdomain.no-ip.org
|
|
IdentityFile /home/greg/.ssh/annex_rsa
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
(3) Now when you clone the git repo from the Synology, or add it as a remote, do the following:
|
|
[[!format sh """
|
|
git clone greg@synologyhost:/absolute/path/to/annexname annexname
|
|
"""]]
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
[[!format sh """
|
|
git remote add synology greg@synologyhost:/absolute/path/to/annexname
|
|
"""]]
|
|
|
|
(4) Run git-annex sync
|
|
|
|
### On the other computers - Using the assistant
|
|
|
|
(1) Use the webapp to add the remote. I'm not sure if there are any gotchas here as I have not done it this way yet.
