It links! It runs! + +Which is not to say it's usable yet; for one thing I need to get a port +of git before it can do anything useful. (Some of the other things git-annex +needs, like ssh and sha256sum, are helpfully provided by KBOX.) + +Next step will be to find or built a git port for Android. I know there's +one in the "Terminal IDE" app. Once I can use git-annex at the command line +on Android, I'll be able to test it out some (I can also port the test +suite program and run it on Android), and get a feeling for what is needed +to get the port to a usable command-line state. + +And then on to the webapp, and an Android app, I suppose. So far, the port +doesn't include the webapp, but does include the assistant. The webapp +needs ghci/template haskell for arm. A few people have been reporting they +have that working, but I don't yet. |
