Some examples of use cases supported by this release include: + +* Using Box.com's 5 gigabytes of free storage space as a cloud transfer + point between between repositories that cannot directly contact + one-another. (Many other cloud providers are also supported, from Rsync.net + to Amazon S3, to your own ssh server.) +* Archiving or backing up files to Amazon Glacier. See [[archival_walkthrough]]. +* [[Sharing repositories with friends|share_with_a_friend_walkthrough]] + contacted through a Jabber server (such as Google Talk). +* [[Pairing|pairing_walkthrough]] two computers that are on the same local + network (or VPN) and automatically keeping the files in the annex in + sync as changes are made to them. +* Cloning your repository to removable drives, USB keys, etc. The assistant + will notice when the drive is mounted and keep it in sync. + Such a drive can be stored as an offline backup, or transported between + computers to keep them in sync. + +The following are known limitations of this release of the git-annex +assistant: + +* The Max OSX standalone app may not work on all versions of Max OSX. + Please test! +* On Mac OSX and BSD operating systems, the assistant uses kqueue to watch + files. Kqueue has to open every directory it watches, so too many + directories will run it out of the max number of open files (typically + 1024), and fail. See [[bugs/Issue_on_OSX_with_some_system_limits]] + for a workaround. + ## version 3.20121126 This adds several features to the git-annex assistant, which is still in beta. |
