Use system git-annex copy if available #43

Closed kyrias closed 7 years ago

db48x commented 8 years ago

The problem with using the system git annex is that it may not be sufficiently up to date. I don't happen to know off-hand the minimum required version, either.

kyrias commented 8 years ago

Could just have the most recent version as a requirement then, but having it download another copy for no reason is sort of annoying from a purity point of view, and would also make it rather hard to package the scripts for distributions.

This project has caused an enormous amount of changes in the program in question. It makes sense for the time being just still download a second version while this brings itself out. On Jun 9, 2016 23:38, "Johannes Löthberg" notifications@github.com wrote:

Those changes have plateaued; there's no reason we can't use the git-annex version from ~9 months ago, if it's already installed.

kyrias commented 8 years ago

Updated to check if the git-annex version is newer than 5.20150916, which was released 8 months ago, before downloading a prebuilt git-annex version.
