git-annex

History

Joey Hess ccef06da41 allow building webapp with EvilSplicer for non-android arm Was able to reuse many of the android patches, but several had to be re-done. On Android, ghc is a stage2 build, so can compile, but not run TH code. But debian's ghc on armel cannot even compile TH code, so it has to be patched out. Some haskell packages have been updated to new versions, including yesod and DAV, and their patches had to be redone. The Makefile now has 2 new targets. The first is run on a companion x86 system to do the build and get TH splices. Then the second target is run the same source tree on the arm system to build without needing TH. This commit was sponsored by Svenne Krap.		2013-12-18 21:41:17 +00:00

README

You can put this directory into your PATH, or symlink the programs in this
directory to anyplace already in your PATH, and use git-annex the same
as if you'd installed it using a package manager.

Or, you can use the runshell script in this directory to start a shell
that is configured to use git-annex and the other utilities included in
this bundle, including git, gpg, rsync, ssh, etc.

This should work on any Linux system of the appropriate architecture.
More or less.


How it works: This directory tree contains a lot of libraries and programs
that git-annex needs. But it's not a chroot. Instead, runshell sets a lot
of environment variables to cause files from here to be used, and a shim
around the binaries arranges for them to be run with the libraries in here.

It shouldn't even be dependent on the host system's glibc libraries.
All that's needed is a kernel that supports the glibc included in this
bundle.
