Description:
git-annex allows managing files with git, without checking the file contents
into git. While that may seem paradoxical, it is useful when dealing with files
larger than git can currently easily handle, whether due to limitations in
memory, checksumming time, or disk space.

Even without file content tracking, being able to manage files with git, move
files around and delete files with versioned directory trees, and use branches
and distributed clones, are all very handy reasons to use git. And annexed
files can co-exist in the same git repository with regularly versioned files,
which is convenient for maintaining documents, Makefiles, etc that are
associated with annexed files but that benefit from full revision control.

When a file is annexed, its content is moved into a key-value store, and a
symlink is made that points to the content. These symlinks are checked into git
and versioned like regular files. You can move them around, delete them, and so
on. Pushing to another git repository will make git-annex there aware of the
annexed file, and it can be used to retrieve its content from the key-value
store.

Here are a few issues from the rpmlint output:
> git-annex.src: W: invalid-url Source0: git-annex-0.11.tar.bz2

The Source0 needs to be a full URL, not just a filename.  I can't seem to find
a tarball on the git-annex website.  Can you work with upstream to get them to
publish a tarball for each new version?
> git-annex.x86_64: W: spurious-executable-perm /usr/share/man/man1/git-annex.1.gz

This should be fixed.
> git-annex-debuginfo.x86_64: E: debuginfo-without-sources

Have you tried to fix this error?

A few other issues:

1) The %description seems a little long.  Most packages seem to have one or
maybe two brief paragraphs.

2) This is a dumb preference, but I would slightly change the summary to
"Manage files with git, without checking in their contents".

3) It looks like there have been a few version updates since the last time the
spec file was updated.

4) Have you sent the patches to the Makefile upstream?  By the way, it looks
like the documentation is correctly installed by the Makefile in a newer
version of git-annex.

5) Two of the dependencies are unavailable on Fedora 14.  I can't really do
anything more on this review until the ghc-pcre-light package is in.

I'll contact him about it. It was generated from a tag in the repository (see
instructions above the URL: tag).

Oops.

The -debuginfo package actually needs disabled since Haskell doesn't support
it.

Taken from the website for the most part. I'll look at trimming it down.

Yeah, also taken from the website. Your wording is better. Will appear in the
next version.

Will appear in the next update. (I don't keep all the RR's I have 100%
up-to-date, just the ones that have attention since there are sometimes a dozen
updates between be initially submitting and getting a reviewer).

They've been sent and applied in some way. I think the author changed around
some of them. I'll look at it more closely when I update it.

Hence the Blocks: field above :) . I have a local repository which I build
against and has pretty much every package in the review list in it. My server
has had issues since a power outage 2 or 3 weeks ago and I still haven't had a
chance to look into it.

As earlier discussed on Fedora haskell-devel list,
dropping libraries for now from the toplevel of Haskell-pkg-reviews,
so we, the Haskell SIG, can focus more on getting Haskell apps into Fedora.

To get you library back under the tracker please submit a bin or binlib
package that depends on this library and make this bug block that package
review.  It is a good idea to submit full stacks of packages and then
to add the toplevel program to the tracker.

This is a top-level package. Doesn't use cabal, but it is Haskell and a binary.

git-annex is on Hackage now with a cabal build system, so I'll update to use it
rather than the Makefile stuff sometime this week hopefully.

That's ok - I was just asking yes/no? :)

Anyway not as many weird macros in non-library Cabal packages. :)

I just note in passing that the Fonts packaging macros also
generate %files sections automagically for example.
I haven't received any comments so far from the packaging list
on the revised Haskell Guidelines.

FYI, thanks for working on this.  I just build the package from the src.rpm and
it was much easier than using cabal.  I tried for a few hours to get cabal to
build it like the source asks you to do, but it just wouldn't work.  The
src.rpm, however, worked nicely.

I think there may be a package missing in the build-requirements list as I
think I had to install something to get it to work, but I lost track of what I
did time-wise so couldn't tell you which package.

As Wes mentioned, git-annex is now in hackage with more deps...

I may try package it all unless someone else can help to do it.

I'd certainly like it if someone would package and maintain it (I'm swamped and
am not a haskell expert myself).  I would like to use it, but am not really
motivated to put trust in it when it's so painful to build from scratch.

I'd like to see this packaged too.

Currently a good version to start with might be 3.20111211.
But it still needs hS3 (-> Crypto, hxt (->...)), monad-control (->
base-unicode-symbols), and SHA.

Latest releases have further deps on lifted-base and transformers-base.

Anyway there is some work to be done to get this all ready.

Hi, I'm the author of git-annex, and appreciate your work on getting it into
Fedora, since based on user feedback, this is currently one of the harder Linux
distributions for users to install it to.

I'd really like to make this happen. It seems that the main issue is build
dependencies. But there are some ways to work around that. git-annex's git
repository has several branches that avoid most of the newer build
dependencies. For building with ghc older than 7.4, there is the ghc-7.0
branch. For building without S3 (and its long chain of dependencies noted
above), there is a no-s3 branch. It's also possible to avoid monad-control
(which also avoids lifted-base), although currently the only branch I have that
does do is the debian-stable branch. There's also a no-bloom branch omitting
another recent build dependency. These all remove some features (and dropping
monal-control removes some robustness in one case), but still leave a quite
capable program.

I would be quite willing to put together a branch that omits any build
dependencies necessary for Fedora, and maintain it for the lifetime of the
Fedora release. (Not sure if I can commit to the lifetime of a Red Hat release
:)
Just get in touch with me.

Fewer dependency versions sound good just for getting it into Fedora. I'll see
if I can find the time to update to a snapshot with existing deps. We can tack
more deps in once they're packaged.

Thank you, Joe, for reaching out to us. :-)

We now have lifted-base (and monad-control) in Fedora at least. :)

I think we are gradually getting closer to being able to package the main
hackage.
Seems now we are still missing packages:

- bloomfilter
- hS3 -> Crypto, hxt*
- IfElse
- SHA

So yes it is probably a good idea initially to package merging the no-S3
branch,
since hxt is quite a few packages.  Of course it would be nice to have
S3 support in Fedora later.

Ben: do you have time to try for that?

Joe: I assume adding an S3 flag to git-annex.cabal is not practical?

SHA is needed in the yesod and gitit stacks anyways (though yesod has *lots* to
get through yet until SHA is an issue, gitit less so), so that could be bumped
up my list. IfElse and bloomfilter look easy. Sunday is probably the earliest
I'll get to this.

An S3 flag in git-annex.cabal was a good idea. That is done in git, so without
the S3 library it will auto-disable S3 support now.

Glad to see bloomfilter is getting packaged. Nice thing to have available in
general. :)

SHA is fairly core, I could make a branch without it, but it would lose support
for encrypting content. If packaging SHA turns out to be a problem, let me know
and I'll work something out. IIRC it's a fairly simple library to build.

I could easily spin a branch without IfElse (about a 4 line patch), or it
should be trivial to package.

Various people have been asking for this for a while so setting priority to
High.

OK I submitted a package for SHA, so only IfElse (or patch for it) needed now.

I have added a no-ifelse branch to git. You might find it easiest to pull it
out into a srpm patch. I will be releasing the next git-annex version in 2 days
(blocked on the Debian side!) with the automatic S3 disabling or you can use
git.

Thanks!  The no-ifelse patch looks pretty simple. :)
