Debian squeeze has an extremely ancient ghc compiler, and it would be a mammoth undertaking to build current git-annex using that.

Use the linux standalone build instead.

I'm tring to set up a bare repo on a debian squeeze server and sync it to windows client. Unfortunately the direct mode does not seem to be available for the git-annex version (3.20120629~bpo60+2 ) in the squeeze-backports

Would you be able to update the version in that repository? Thank you for your hard work! Git-annex is awesome

tried it but no luck:

git annex initremote skydrive type=external externaltype=skydrive encryption=shared folder=git-annex
initremote skydrive (encryption setup) (shared cipher) env: python2: No such file or directory
git-annex: external special remote protocol error, unexpectedly received "" (unable to parse command)

@donkeyicydragon one way to accomplish that would be to just tar up .git -- excluding .git/annex/objects and add that to git-annex like any other file. You could make a git post-commit hook that does that, but that seems overboard.

Or, you could just make a git clone of your repo to a local removable drive, and use that as a local backup.

You have to run git-annex init before you can use other git-annex commands. I think if you run git annex initremote now, it will work.

@Jeff, why did you post that comment here? Please use the forum for questions.

(You may find it useful to use direct mode, or git annex import --skip-duplicates or something.)

If you have a question about using the assistant, please ask it in the forum, not here.

You can change the webdav password by running:

WEBDAV_USERNAME=whatever WEBDAV_PASSWORD=newpassword git annex enableremote $remotename

And no link was opened automatically
shiny-2:skydriveannex ovi$ git annex initremote skydrive type=external externaltype=skydrive encryption=shared folder=git-annex
git-annex: First run: git-annex init
shiny-2:skydriveannex ovi$

Above wasn't mentioned in the tutorial so I tried it:

shiny-2:skydriveannex ovi$ git-annex init
init  ok
(Recording state in git...)
shiny-2:skydriveannex ovi$

What now? Never got asked about any OAUTH...
