It was already default in stack builds, now it is default in cabal
builds as well.
Add build warnings when git-annex is built without the OsPath build flag.
git-annex version: Report on whether it was built with the OsPath build flag.
Having the flag on by default was always the plan, and this is a good time to
make the change. A bit of added urgency comes from the close-on-exec leak
issue. Fixing that is going to need reimplentation of things like openFile.
Needing to reimplenment it twice is not very appealing, especially since the
FilePath version of it has an implementation that cannot be easily copied and
tweaked. If OsPath is on by default, I can start with only implementing
openFile for it, and fix the bug in that build. And perhaps avoid doing the
extra work that will later get thrown away when this transition finishes.
Note that at this point, Debian still needs to package file-io. Hopefully, they
will package it, rather than turning off the OsPath build flag.
git-annex allows managing large files with git, without storing the file
contents in git. It can sync, backup, and archive your data, offline
and online. Checksums and encryption keep your data safe and secure. Bring
the power and distributed nature of git to bear on your large files with
git-annex.
