Hi Fabio,
No, it is still broken. For information, the log file is on
.git/annex/daemon.log
If I download and use
http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/git-annex-standalone-amd64.tar.gz
it works but if I use your package it doesn't.
I believe there is no point keeping it in the [haskell-web] without better
integration (and testing)
For information, I have filled a bug report on the git-annex and received this
reply:
http://git-annex.branchable.com/bugs/The_assistant_hangs_forever/
Basically, there is a mismatched between the curl version used by Arch and the
one used by Git-Annex.
I won't go as far as Joey and say that the arch linux version is broken but it
is clear to me that Joey only supports the binaries that comes with his
standalone package. As he said:
takes the binary built for the standalone tarball and dumps it into a
filesystem without any of its support libraries, and just hopes it works. It's
not at all surpising that it continually fails to work. Which is causing bug
report noise that takes away from my time working on actual improvements to
git-annex.
Is your package as AUR git-annex-bin does essentially doing that ? If so I am
not sure it is a good fit for [haskell-web].
To me doing something closer to this AUR package makes much sense :
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/git-annex/
This package works better but has some issues as well (the process is quite
fragile IMHO).
At this stage, a part from maintaining a binary version with adhoc links, I am
not sure there is a better alternative. There are now 5 versions of git-annex
for arch-linux and there are all broken ... I guess this is a sign that sadly
enough we need the big binaries option ...
Cheers,

Sorry, I have no idea... I'm going to look into AUR pkgbuild to find
differences....
