However, I don't yet have a +reliable way to deal with files being modified while they're being +transferred. I have code that detects it on the sending side, but the +receiver is still free to move the wrong content into its annex, and record +that it has the content. So that's not acceptable, and I'll need to work +on it some more. However, at this point I can use a direct mode repository +as a remote and transfer files from and to it. + +---- + +Automated updating of the cached mtime, etc data. Next I need to automate +generation of the key to filename mapping files. I'm thinking that I'll make +`git annex sync` do it. Then, once I get committing and +merging working in direct mode repositories (which is likely to be a +good week's worth of work), the workflow for using these repositories +will be something like this: + + git config annex.direct true + git annex sync # pulls any changes, merges, updates maps and caches + git annex get + # modify files + git annex sync # commits and pushes changes + +And once I get direct mode repositories working to this degree at the +command line, I can get on with adding support to the assistant. + +---- + +Also did some more work today on the OSX app. Am in the middle of getting +it to modify the binaries in the app to change the paths to the libraries they +depend on. This will avoid the hacky environment variable it is currently +using, and make runshell a much more usable environment. It's the right way +to do it. (I can't believe I just said RPATH was the right way to do +anything.) + +In the middle of this, I discovered +<http://hackage.haskell.org/package/cabal-macosx>, which does the same +type of thing. + +Anyway, I have to do some crazy hacks to work around short library name +fields in executables that I don't want to have to be specially rebuilt in +order to build the webapp. Like git. |
