Webapp on ARM?
Since the webapp is apparently now available on Android (not tested yet, but I plan to do it soon ;)), I was wondering what was the status of the webapp on ARM. Does it build, does it work, and if it does would it be possible to enable it in the Debian package for the next release?
For the record, I'm using git-annex on my NAS (Synology DS413j). I'm using the Debian armel package and running it in an Arch Linux chroot (a very simple setup). It works really well, and I'm extremely satisfied with git-annex. Thanks a lot for all your work, Joey et al.!
To build the WebApp on arm, you need a ghc that supports template haskell on arm. While I have heard persistent rumors of such a thing existing, I have yet to see it.
It's possible to build the WebApp on arm without that, but it's a complicated process, involving first building on x86 with the same versions of the haskell libraries that you have on the arm system, and then using the EvilSplicer to generate a source tree with the template haskell expanded, which can then be built on arm. This build process is not really suitable for a Debian package.
