<p>I would be quite happy if someone took care of adding git-annex to openwrt.</p>
<p>I don't have time to personally handle packaging for different linux distributions myself. What I could do is add mips builds of git-annex to the existing standalone linux builds. These would need to be built the same way the arm builds are done, using a Debian chroot and qemu to run tools from it. This is rather a lot of work for me to set up, and I don't know if I'd have to do it for both little and big endian mips.</p>
<p>Also, it seems that Debian does not currently have a working haskell toolchain for mips. Which may well mean that ghc is not in a working state on mips at all.</p>

<p>if debian does not have working toolchain for mips then there is no way to port it into mips machines.
am i correct ?</p>

Actually, debian stable does still have ghc building for mips/mipsel. It's just newer versions that have failed to build and nobody has fixed it yet.

<p>I checked, and the current status is that mips and mipsel in Debian have
up-to-date builds of ghc and git-annex.</p>
