So these special remotes are always supported. IIRC these build flags were added because the dep chains were a bit too long, or perhaps because the libraries were not available in Debian stable, or something like that. That was long ago, those reasons no longer apply, and users get confused when builtin special remotes are not available, so it seems best to remove the build flags now. If this does cause a problem it can be reverted of course.. This commit was sponsored by Jochen Bartl on Patreon.

Yes, that flag disables building with webdav. And if the build environment
|
|
is limited in some way that the DAV dependency is not available, that flag
|
|
can be turned on automatically by the dependency resolver.
|
|
|
|
Probably guix needs to package the [DAV library](http://hackage.haskell.org/package/DAV)
|
|
or add it to the dependencies of the package such that it's available
|
|
to build with.
|
|
|
|
Actually, I've gone ahead and removed the build flag in the next git-annex
|
|
version, so it will always be required to build.
