git-annex version conflict with latest datalad build #319
Description
Activity
Unfortunately for the immediate future gin and gin-cli will probably not be upgraded to support git-annex version 9 or 10. If you would like to use datalad together with the gin service, you will probably need to stick to git annex version for the time being and upgrade once gin supports it.
I guess this will never happen. Is that just lack of resources?
The GIN client should work with any git-annex version (>6) you have installed. The Debian package includes git-annex version 8, which will not work with git-annex version 10 repos.
Thanks, Thomas. Your answer solves my problem. I initially installed the debian package, which conflicts with datalad. The GIN Client without its dependencies works for me. Maybe the wiki page should mention this issue.
Hello,
I have a datalad repo created using datalad v0.17.8 (latest).
Gin is at its latest version as well (uses git 2.30.1 and git-annex 8.20210224 as show by running
gin --version).When I run
gin uploadI get the error message:So it seems gin fails not because the git-annex version used in my repo must be upgraded but rather downgraded, which I don't want to do.
Is there an easy way to fix this?
