Backlog stands at 128 messages. + +Had to deal with an ugly problem with /usr/bin/glacier today. Seems that +there are multiple programs all using that name, some of them shipping in +some linux distributions, and the one from boto fails to fail when passed +parameters it doesn't understand. Yugh! I had to make git-annex probe to +make sure the right glacier program is installed. + +I'm planning to deprecate the glacier special remote at some point. +Instead, I'd like to make the S3 special remote support the S3-glacier +lifecycle, so objects can be uploaded to S3, set to transition to +glacier, and then if necessary pulled back from glacier to S3. That should +be much simpler and less prone to break. + +But not yet; [haskell-aws needs glacier support added](https://github.com/aristidb/aws/issues/81). +Or I could use the new amazonka library, but I'd rather stick with +haskell-aws. + +Some other minor improvements today included adding `git annex +groupwanted`, which makes for easier examples than using vicfg, and +making `git annex import` support options like --include and --exclude. + +Also I moved a many file matching options to only be accepted by +the commands that actually use them. Of the remaining common +options, most of them make sense for every command to accept (eg, --force +and --debug). It would make sense to move --backend, --notify-start/finish, +and perhaps --user-agent. Eventually. |
