The problem that I ran into was (I think) that if a file existed as a link in the working directory, then the compiler ignored it in the underlay as well. I need to think about this more... ___ vcs-home mailing list vcs-home@lists.madduck.net http://lists.madduck.net/listinfo/vcs-home

My usecase is a wiki to support a team of computational and molecular biologists. The computational scientists would access the wiki via CLI and git. The molecular biologists will access it via HTML. The computational scientists would like to work out of a single repository without having to downloaded all of the data sets (300GB and climbing quickly). That is, I would like to be able to see (and "borrow" from) my colleague’s workflows. ikiwiki + git-annex seems like a good place to start (unless some can think of a better idea). I started looking at the ikiwiki code on Friday, and I can see at least two points at which ikiwiki needs to be modified to accommodate git-annex. 1. Do something with symbolic links other than ignore them. 2. Do something to ensure that when someone "git push"es to the server that "git annex sync" and "get annex copy" are done to get the files to the same machine as ikiwiki. Am I missing something fundamental here? ___ vcs-home mailing list vcs-home@lists.madduck.net http://lists.madduck.net/listinfo/vcs-home

I think that integrating git-annex support into ikiwiki, and then folding in the contrib gallery plugin could be a good way to go. ikiwiki already has web-based uploads (drag-n-drop-to-browser even). Tho it would not cover your non-public case, unless you did something tricky with apache htaccess. Unfortunately I have not been able to get the authors of git-annex and ikiwiki to sit down together and integrate their software yet. -- see shy jo ___ vcs-home mailing list vcs-home@lists.madduck.net http://lists.madduck.net/listinfo/vcs-home
Photo gallery with git-annex?
Hi, I'm thinking, how a simple web photo gallery setup could be possible with git- annex, a static gallery generator like lazygal (Debian packaged) and some scripting. But to make this a viable alternative to facebook for my wife, I'd additionally need (or like): - comments - non-public galleries with openid/facebook/twitter login - web based uploads? The above wishes actually aren't specific to a photo gallery, but could also be useful for a general file store. A standalone comment system would make a lot of sense. Authorization might be possible with a web server plugin? Web based uploads are a hard problem.
