Joey Hess b6d46c212e git-annex (5.20140402) unstable; urgency=medium
* 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.

Set up an autobuilder for the linux standalone binaries.
Did not get an Android autobuilder set up yet, but I did update
the Android app with recent improvements, so [[upgrade|install/Android]].
----
Investigated further down paths to getting the webapp built for Android.
* Since recent ghc versions support ghci and thus template haskell on arm,
at least some of the time, I wonder what's keeping the ghc-android build
from doing so? It might be due to it being a cross compiler. I tried
recompiling it with the stage 2, native compiler enabled. While I was
able to use that ghc binary on Android, it refused to run --interactive,
claiming it was not built with that enabled. Don't really understand
the ghc build system, so might have missed something.
Maybe I need to recompile ghc using the native ghc running on Android.
But that would involve porting gcc and a lot of libraries and toolchain
stuff to Android.
* [yesod-pure](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/yesod-pure) is an option,
and I would not mind making all the code changes to use it, getting
rid of template haskell entirely. (Probably around 1 thousand lines of
code would need to be written, but most of it would be trivial
conversion of hamlet templates.)
Question is, will yesod install at all without template haskell? Not
easily. `vector`, `monad-logger`, `aeson`, `shakespeare`,
`shakespeare-css`, `shakespeare-js`, `shakespeare-i18n`, `hamlet`
all use TH at build time. Hacked them all to just remove the TH parts.
The hack job on `yesod-core` was especially rough, involving things like
404 handlers. Did get it to build tho!
Still a dozen packages before I can build yesod, and then will try
building [this yesod-pure demo](https://gist.github.com/snoyberg/3870834/raw/212f0164de36524291df3ab35788e2b72d8d1e75/fib.hs).
