Luckily quite easy. +> For example: +> +> git annex enableremote myglacier datacenter=us-east-1 vault=myglacier-fae9be57-8eb4-47af-932f-136b9b40e669 +> +> The default datacenter is us-east-1, and the default vault name is +> "$remotename-$uuid". So you just have to tell it these values +> once with an enableremote command, and it will then work. + +> You don't even need to get the fixed version of git-annex to work +> around the bug this way.. Although it does have better error messages +> too. [[fixed|done]] --[[Joey]] |
