-As a haskell package, git-annex can be installed using cabal.
-
-This involves building a lot of haskell packages from source, and so it has
-a lot of moving parts, and it's not uncommon for it to be broken from time
-to time.
-
-If you are not comfortable tracking down and dealing with library build
-problems, installing git-annex with cabal is probably not the right choice
-for you!
-
-## prerequisites
-
-Start by installing the [Haskell Platform][]. In Debian, this is as
-simple as:
-
- sudo apt-get install haskell-platform
-
- [Haskell Platform]: http://hackage.haskell.org/platform/
-
-## minimal build
-
-This builds git-annex without some features that require C libraries, that
-can be harder to get installed. This is plenty to get started using it,
-although it does not include the assistant or webapp.
-
- cabal update
- PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
- cabal install git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin -f"-assistant -webapp -webdav -pairing -xmpp -dns"
-
-## full build
-
-To build with all features enabled, including the assistant and webapp,
-you will need to install several C libraries and their headers,
-including libgnutls, libgsasl, libxml2, and zlib. Then run:
-
- cabal update
- PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
- cabal install c2hs --bindir=$HOME/bin
- cabal install git-annex --bindir=$HOME/bin
-
-## building from git checkout
-
-But maybe you want something newer (or older). Then [[download]] the version
-you want, and use cabal as follows inside its source tree:
-
- cabal update
- PATH=$HOME/bin:$PATH
- cabal install c2hs --bindir=$HOME/bin
- cabal install --only-dependencies
- cabal configure
- cabal build
- cabal install --bindir=$HOME/bin
-
-## EKG
-
-When building with cabal, you can optionally enable the
-[[EKG monitoring interface|ekg]]. This is great for debugging resource
-usage problems.
