* 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.

Today's work:
|
|
|
|
* Fixed `git annex add` of a modified file in direct mode.
|
|
* Fixed bugs in the inode sentinal file code added yesterday.
|
|
* With some help from Kevin Boone, I now understand how KBOX works and
|
|
how to use similar techniques to build my own standalone Android app
|
|
that includes git-annex.
|
|
|
|
Kevin is using a cute hack; he ships a tarball and some other stuff
|
|
as (pseudo-)library files (`libfoo.so`), which are the only files
|
|
the Android package manager deigns to install. Then the app runs one
|
|
of these, which installs the programs.
|
|
|
|
This avoids needing to write Java code that extracts the programs from
|
|
one of its assets and writes it to an executable file, which is the
|
|
canonical way to do this sort of thing. But I noticed it has a benefit too
|
|
(which KBOX does not yet exploit). Since the pseudo-library file is installed
|
|
with the X bit set, if it's really a program, such as busybox or git-annex,
|
|
that program can be run without needing to copy it to an executable file.
|
|
This can save a lot of disk space. So, I'm planning to include all
|
|
the binaries needed by git-annex as these pseudo-libraries.
|
|
* Got the Android Terminal Emulator to build. I will be basing my first
|
|
git-annex Android app on this, since a terminal is needed until there's
|
|
a webapp.
|
|
* Wasted several hours fighting with `Android.mk` files to include
|
|
my pseudo shared library. This abuse of Makefiles by the NDK is what CDBS
|
|
wants to grow up to be.. or is it the other way around? Anyway, it
|
|
sucks horribly, and I finally found a way to do it without
|
|
modifying the file at all. Ugh.
|
|
* At this point, I can build a `git-annex.apk` file containing a
|
|
`libgit-annex.so`, and a `libbusybox.so`, that can both be directly
|
|
run. The plan from here is to give git-annex the ability to
|
|
auto-install itself, and the other pseudo-libraries, when it's run as
|
|
`libgit-annex.so`.
