git-annex currently contains its own implementation of a portable disk
free space and size checking library. In a future version, I'd like to
drop this code, and instead use the new disk-free-space from hackage.
It will work on at least Linux, OSX, and Windows. Probably on the BSDs,
but I have not checked.
So, it would be nice to get this into Debian before-hand.
There's another package (statvfs) on hackage that does something
similar, although it's not portable.
To my surprise, both of these import statvfs as unsafe, which (for a
C function that results in a syscall is surprising), so I filled
https://github.com/redneb/disk-free-space/issues/1.
Curious: if your code is already portable, why not split that out if it
already works in the real world?
thanks!
