An Android autobuilder is now set up to run nightly. At this point I don't see an immediate way to getting the webapp working on Android, so it's best to wait a month or two and see how things develop in Haskell land. So I'm moving on to other things.
Today:
- Fixed a nasty regression that made
*not match files in subdirectories. That broke the preferred content handling, among other things. I will be pushing out a new release soon. - As a last Android thing (for now), made the Android app automatically
run
git annex assistant --autostart, so you can manually set up an assistant-driven repository on Android, listing the repository in.config/git-annex/autostart - Made the webapp display any error message from
git initif it fails. This was the one remaining gap in the logging. One reason it could fail is if the system has a newer git in use, and~/.gitconfigis configured with some options the older git bundled with git-annex doesn't like. - Bumped the major version to 4, and annex.version will be set to 4 in new direct mode repositories. (But version 3 is otherwise still used, to avoid any upgrade pain.) This is to prevent old versions that don't understand direct mode from getting confused. I hope direct mode is finally complete, too, after the work to make it work on crippled filesystems this month.
- Misc other bugfixes etc. Backlog down to 43.
Did you investigate how hard it would be to only commit & upload once the phone is being charged and on WiFi? That does not rely on the webapp, but it would make using git-annex on Android a lot more useful until you restart your work on this.
