git-annex/ install/ rpm standalone

If the version of git-annex shipped in your rpm-based distribution is too old, there's a git-annex-standalone rpm that you can install instead. It's kept up-to-date with the latest git-annex release, and it works on a wide range of distribution versions.

To install it, you first have to download a yum configuration file for the git-annex rpm repository:

    curl https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/rpms/git-annex.repo > /etc/yum.repos.d/git-annex.repo

Then:

    yum install git-annex-standalone

Not sure when that got fixed, probably the most recent release, but it is populated now.

Standalone rpms not available
Hello, are the RPMs no longer being published, it doesn't seem to be available anymore.

ipfs
It would be nice if the rpm or repository included auxiliarity scripts such as git-annex-remote-ipfs so that these would get installed/uninstalled/upgraded alongside the main project.

I've fixed it, should include the latest release now.

Please do file a bug report if you find problems with the rpms.

repodata is outdated
The repodata under https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/rpms/repodata/ is outdated (from September), latest RPM in https://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/linux/current/rpms/ is from November. I (think) I had an issue using git-annex-shell using the 201909 version, so this is somewhat relevant.
