* 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

XMPP (Jabber) is used by the [[assistant]] as a git remote. This is,
|
|
technically not a git-annex special remote (large files are not transferred
|
|
over XMPP; only git commits are sent).
|
|
|
|
Typically XMPP will be set up using the web app, but here's how a manual
|
|
set up could be accomplished:
|
|
|
|
1. xmpp login credentials need to be stored in `.git/annex/creds/xmpp`.
|
|
Obviously this file should be mode 600. An example file:
|
|
|
|
XMPPCreds {xmppUsername = "joeyhess", xmppPassword = "xxxx", xmppHostname = "xmpp.l.google.com.", xmppPort = 5222, xmppJID = "joeyhess@gmail.com"}
|
|
|
|
2. A git remote is created using a special url, of the form `xmpp::user@host`
|
|
For the above example, it would be `url = xmpp::joeyhess@gmail.com`
|
|
|
|
3. The uuid of one of the other clients using XMPP should be configured
|
|
using the `annex.uuid` setting, the same as is set up for other remotes.
|
|
|
|
With the above configuration, the [[assistant]] will use xmpp remotes much as
|
|
any other git remote. Since XMPP requires a client that is continually running
|
|
to see incoming pushes, the XMPP remote cannot be used with git at the
|
|
command line.
|
|
