Debian testing or unstable
sudo apt-get install git-annex
Debian 7.0 "wheezy":
sudo apt-get install git-annex
Note: This version does not include support for the assistant. A backport is available with the assistant and other new features.
Follow the instructions to enable backports.
sudo apt-get -t wheezy-backports install git-annex
Debian 6.0 "squeeze"
Follow the instructions to enable backports.
sudo apt-get -t squeeze-backports install git-annex
Is there going to be an update of git-annex in debian squeeze-backports to a version that supports repository version 3? Thx
Yes, git-annex is available for every Debian architecture which supports Haskell, including all arm ports:
Hey Joey,
As a backer, I'd like to see a backport of git annex assistant to wheezy.
It is currently impossible to get this assistant in wheezy without compiling it with cabal.
It would be nice to see it in backports or something :)
Best,
Allard
hi Joey,
i see from the release notes of the 4.20130521 release that the Debian package should now be built with libc6 2.13, which appears to be the case except for the amd64 arch (hence the amd64 package won't install as is on Wheezy on amd64) - is this a build glitch or is 2.14 needed on amd64 (i imagine as a dependency of one of git-annex's deps on that arch)?
thanks!
@mey.vn, Debian packages of git-annex, as uploaded to the Debian repositories, are built with whatever libc version the Debian autobuilder is running. You cannot, in general, install packages from Debian unstable into stable without upgrading your libc6.
The release notes were not talking about the Debian packages, but about the Linux standalone tarballs. Those are built with libc 2.13.
As of today, I have backported everything except for haskell-lens, haskell-dav, and haskell-network-protocol-xmpp. The last is the only real blocker (I can build a backport without webdav support..).
The haskell-network-protocol-xmpp in stable is actually ok, except it needs to be rebuilt against the haskell-gnutls I uploaded today. This fixes a bad segfault bug. I don't know how to handle this situation in backports TBH, and so am stuck waiting for a newer version of haskell-network-protocol-xmpp to reach testing, to get around backport's requirements that the backport version be in testing.
In other words, it'll happen in 2 to 5 weeks, probably..
Joey,
What's the status on the wheezy backport. I'm itching to try the assistant.
thanks, Keith
