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, I uploaded it last night.

ARM
is there any package for Debian armhf? I'd love to install git-annex on my raspberry pi

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

The git-annex packages in unstable install on testing (wheezy).

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.

Comment by joey Wed May 29 12:23:10 2013
I note that the instructions at the top of the page suggest that one can install the unstable version into wheezy, but as mentioned by mey.vn this is not the case with 4.20130521 (on amd64 at least) because of the libc6 version dependency. That being the case, it would be really nice to see this in wheezy-backports as well, or would that require backporting a huge pile of haskell as well? (in which case I can see why you're not keen).

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..

Comment by joey Thu May 30 15:42:05 2013
Fair enough -- that's more positive than I was expecting TBH -- Thanks Joey :-)
Comment by hands Thu May 30 15:56:07 2013

Joey,

What's the status on the wheezy backport. I'm itching to try the assistant.

thanks, Keith

Comment by Keith Fri Jul 5 17:21:39 2013
I remain stuck where I was stuck previously on the backport. In the meantime, use Linux standalone :(
Comment by joeyh.name Sun Jul 7 13:21:10 2013
I am an absolute beginner when it comes to linux in debian in particular. I installed git-annex via the root terminal, but now I do not know where to find it. I searched for in the file system but could not locate it. Any help is appreciated.

@Miles - The command is git annex webapp to bring up the web interface.
