add git-annex

[joeyh]

@nomeata suggested I add it, and this is fine by me.

git-annex is a leaf, non-library package, and in the http://hackage.haskell.org/packages/top list, after filtering out the core haskell ecosystem, git-annex is near the top of the list of remaining packages. For whatever that might be worth.

Seems to be blocked by sof/feed#9.

[neitsab]

What should be done to include feed in Stackage? It is unmaintained since Oct. 2013 and blocks at least gitit besides git-annex (see jgm/gitit/issues/485). It would be great if it could be picked up!

@neitsab The best thing to do would be to take it over following the guide at:

https://wiki.haskell.org/Taking_over_a_package

[neitsab]

@snoyberg Thanks, it seems this is what's going to happen thanks to @bergmark! (haskell-infra/hackage-trustees/issues/12)

Also Sigbjorn seems inactive on both github and his own website and
twitter since at least May 2014. Sof, are you ok?

This seems like the kind of case where the hackage trustees should find
the package a new maintainer if he doesn't re-emerge.

(FWIW, git-annex can be built -f-Feed, but that disables features and is
obviously suboptimal.)

This PR is now out of date. Please rebase/merge with the current master and push so we can see if the Travis build can now succeed.

[bergmark]

feed is still not up to date, I'll poke another trustee to review so we can get it done.

[bergmark]

Feed updated!

[snoyberg]

Now just blocked on ocharles/tasty-rerun#4.

And now with the move to GHC 7.10, two more issues:

QuickCheck-2.8.1 depended on by:
- testpack-2.1.3.0 (>=2.1.0.3 && < 2.8). No maintainer. @jgoerzen

base-4.8.0.0 depended on by:
- dataenc-0.14.0.7 (>=3.0.0 && < 4.8). No maintainer.

[snoyberg]

Actually, I can resolve the testpack problem by skipping tests for MissingH. For dataenc, two options:

• @joeyh You could move over to sandi, as dataenc has been deprecated in favor of it.
• Perhaps @magthe could relax the upper bound on base. I just tested, and the package does compile with that upper bound relaxed.

[snoyberg]

Also, I just checked an actual build. Even though there aren't any more bounds issues, there are lots of packages that don't compile with GHC 7.10, so git-annex can't be added until those are resolved.

[joeyh]

I actually dealt with dataenc->sandi earlier today. It will be in
tomorrow's git-annex release.

I don't think that testpack should be in stackae. QuickCheck 2 certianly
should be..

Only remaining blocker in git-annex's dep chain for ghc 7.10 is bos/bloomfilter#11

[DanBurton]

I made a PR for bloomfilter.

[legrostdg]

bos/bloomfilter#11 has been fixed in 2.0.1.0 (already uploaded to hackage)

[snoyberg]

Currently trying a build on my machine, FYI

[snoyberg]

I have a feeling my build server will be angry at me about this, I'm merging this. Thanks everyone :)

[nomeata]

Yay :-)
