I am aware of the tips mentionned in the comments of [[tips/publishing_your_files_to_the_public/]] that use the `addurl` hack, but this seems not only counter-intuitive, but also seem to add significant per-file overhead in the storage. It also requires running an extra command after every `git annex add` which is a problem if you are running the assistant that will add stuff behind your back. + +Besides, you never know if and when the file really is available on s3, so running addurl isn't necessarily accurate. + +How hard would it be to fix that in the s3 remote? + +Thanks! --[[anarcat]] |
