I plan to keep the backport up-to-date +as I make new releases. + +The cheap Android tablet I bought to do this last Android push with came +pre-rooted from the factory. This may be why I have not seen this bug: +[[bugs/Android_app_permission_denial_on_startup]]. If you have Android +4.2.2 or a similar version, your testing would be helpful for me to know if +this is a widespread problem. I have an idea about a way to work around the +problem, but it involves writing Java code, and probably polling a file, +ugh. + +Got S3 support to build for Android. Probably fails to work +due to the same network stack problems affecting WebDAV and Jabber. + +Got removable media mount detection working on Android. Bionic has an +amusing stub for `getmntent` that prints out "FIX ME! implement +getmntent()". But, `/proc/mounts` is there, so I just parse it. +Also enabled the app's `WRITE_MEDIA_STORAGE` permission to allow +access to removable media. However, this didn't seem to do anything. :( + +Several fixes to make the Android webapp be able to set up repositories on +remote ssh servers. However, it fails at the last hurdle with what +looks like a `git-annex-shell` communication problem. Almost there.. |
