Unclear error about repo and gin clean compatbility #330

Closed h-mayorquin closed 2 months ago

h-mayorquin commented 2 months ago

I try the following:

gin commit 4chDemoPLX.plx 
:: Adding file changes
   Nothing to do
:: Recording changes [error] git-annex: Repository /home/heberto/upload_gin/ephy_testing_data is at unsupported version 9. Upgrade git-annex.

So I somehow understand that my git-annex is to old (it is telling me to upgrade)

But then I check the version of git annex and get:

git annex version
git-annex version: 10.20240129

upgrade supported from repository versions: 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10

It is unclear what I needs to match.

Probably related to this: https://github.com/G-Node/gin-cli/issues/319

Maybe you installed the GIN client via its Debian package, in which case it uses annex version 8. If so, deinstall and install the standalone GIN client (https://gin.g-node.org/G-Node/Info/wiki/GIN+CLI+Setup#binary-client-only). This will use the git annex you have installed on your system.

I am confused. The output of git annex version shows that is version 10. Does it mean that gin uses different git-annex that that the one in my system?

If you installed the Debian package, the client will use the git-annex that is bundeled in this package. Run gin --version, it will show you the git-annex version the client uses. If you have a different version of git-annex already installed, it is recommended to install the client only, not the Debian package (https://gin.g-node.org/G-Node/Info/wiki/GIN+CLI+Setup#bundles-vs-client-only-packages).

Run gin --version, it will show you the git-annex version the client uses

Thank you. I was aware of the distinction between the bundle and the stand-alone cli but I could not confirm which version gin was using. Using this I could see that it was still the bundled version. Purging and re-installing the cli tool did the job.

I am closing this isue as the error makes sense to me now.
