* 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. # imported from the archive

Very productive & long day today, spent adding a new feature to the
|
|
webapp: Internet Archive support!
|
|
|
|
[[!img /assistant/iaitem.png]]
|
|
|
|
git-annex already supported using archive.org via its S3 special remotes,
|
|
so this is just a nice UI around that.
|
|
|
|
How does it decide which files to publish on archive.org? Well,
|
|
the item has a unique name, which is based on the description
|
|
field. Any files located in a directory with that name will be uploaded
|
|
to that item. (This is done via a new preferred content expression I added.)
|
|
|
|
So, you can have one repository with multiple IA items attached, and
|
|
sort files between them however you like.
|
|
I plan to make a screencast eventually demoing that.
|
|
|
|
Another interesting use case, once the Android webapp is done, would be add
|
|
a repository on the DCIM directory, set the archive.org repository to
|
|
prefer all content, and *bam*, you have a phone or tablet that
|
|
auto-publishes and archives every picture it takes.
|
|
|
|
Another nice little feature added today is that whenever a file is uploaded
|
|
to the Internet Archive, its public url is automatically recorded, same
|
|
as if you'd ran `git annex addurl`. So any users who can clone your
|
|
repository can download the files from archive.org, without needing any
|
|
login or password info. This makes the Internet Archive a nice way to
|
|
publish the large files associated with a public git repository.
