* Removed the i386ancient standalone tarball build for linux, which was increasingly unable to support new git-annex features. * Removed support for building with ghc older than 9.0.2, and with older versions of haskell libraries than are in current Debian stable. * stack.yaml: Update to lts-23.2. Note that i386ancient was targeting linux 2.6.32, which has been EOL for over 9 years now. Any old system still using such a kernel is certainly highly insecure. And I suspect i386ancient had its own insecurities due to haskell libraries and C libraries not having been updated.

If your Linux distribution does not have git-annex packaged up for you,
|
|
you can either build it [[fromsource]], or you can use a handy
|
|
prebuilt tarball of the most recent release.
|
|
|
|
This tarball should work on most Linux systems. It has basically no
|
|
dependencies and is self-contained.
|
|
|
|
* x86-64: [download tarball](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz)
|
|
* x86-32: [download tarball](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/git-annex-standalone-i386.tar.gz)
|
|
* arm: [download tarball](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/git-annex-standalone-armel.tar.gz)
|
|
* arm64: [download tarball](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/git-annex-standalone-arm64.tar.gz)
|
|
* arm64, for ancient kernels: [download tarball](https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/git-annex-standalone-arm64-ancient.tar.gz)
|
|
|
|
To use, just unpack the tarball, `cd git-annex.linux` and run `./runshell`
|
|
-- this sets up an environment where you can use `git annex`, as well
|
|
as everything else included in the bundle.
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can unpack the tarball, and add the directory to your
|
|
`PATH`, or symlink the programs in the directory to a directory in your
|
|
PATH. This lets you use `git annex`, without overriding your system's
|
|
own versions of git, etc.
|
|
|
|
The arm version can be installed on NAS devices and other embedded ARM
|
|
linux systems.

|
|
|
|
The arm64 build for ancient kernels is for Linux kernels such as 4.19,
|
|
which is still in use on Android phones.

## autobuilds
|
|
|
|
An hourly autobuild is also available, hosted by [[Joey]]:

## building it yourself
|
|
|
|
This entails building git-annex from source, so you will first
|
|
need to get that working, see [[fromsource]] for some of the details.
|
|
|
|
In git-annex's source tree, run `make linuxstandalone`. This will build
|
|
git-annex from source, and then build the tarball bundle, into eg
|
|
`tmp/git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz`
|
|
|
|
This build process is done on a Debian system, and it needs to use
|
|
`dpkg` to examine the host system.
|
|
|
|
## technical details
|
|
|
|
The way those tarballs work is described in [joeyh's blog](http://joeyh.name/blog/entry/completely_linux_distribution-independent_packaging/).
