@ben, it's generating the encryption key, and is blocked waiting on enropy. You can pass --fast to use lower-quality randomness.
Hi, when I try to create a glacier remote, the command freezes without further output:
$ git init
$ git annex init
$ git annex initremote glacier type=glacier keyid=xxxxxxxx
initremote glacier (encryption setup)
I can see the following processes in sleep state:
11438 pts/0 S+ 0:00 git --git-dir=/home/b/Documents/annex/.git --work-tree=/home/b/Documents/annex cat-file --batch
11440 pts/0 SL+ 0:00 gpg2 --batch --no-tty --use-agent --quiet --trust-model always --gen-random --armor 2 512
I'm on fedora 22, git-annex version: 5.20140717. Any suggestions appreciated, thanks!
git annex remoteinfo NAME
. (git annex version: 5.20140408-gb37d538
).
Hmm, seems I was wrong about git annex whereis
displaying the tahoe
capability. That was not implemented. I have just made a commit that will
implement it though.
The git-annex branch is part of your git repository when you're using git-annex. See internals.
I guess you guys with the badly limited filename lenghs are using encfs or something like that. encfs is really shoddy, and I feel kind of like someone is complaining that the git repo can't be checked out on MS-DOS. 8.3 filenames are so 1985, and 128 filenames are so.. 1995?
@eren, some of the programs included with git-annex need to use libraries from Git for Windows. In particular, I think you'll find that rsync doesn't work if you use the 64 bit Git for Windows.
I tried to install the version for android 5 on my nexus 5 with the most recent firmware. The initial sync (git clone) succeeds, the git annex stuff fails with "remote origin does not have git-annex installed; setting annex-ignore".
I have the android 4 version working on my tablet for the same ssh remote, so I think the remote is OK.
I can provide full logs of the terminal session if needed (I didn't use the assistant front end).
BTW: this is great software, thanks you so very much! I hope to have it up and running on all my devices soon as a replacement for Google Drive. I happen to care about privacy.
To install git-annex next to 64bit git on Windows:
Start cmd.exe with administrator privileges and run mklink /J "C:\Program Files (x86)\Git" "C:\Program Files\Git" to add a sym-link. Install git-annex.
