+### Please describe the problem.
+
+Some dependencies of `git-annex` don't have viable releases for ghc-9.2.2 (aws, bloomfilter).

+```

+
+### What steps will reproduce the problem?
+
+`cabal v2-build [--allow-newer]`
+
+### What version of git-annex are you using? On what operating system?
+
+I checked out HEAD as of `b25bfecb1`. Building it on OpenBSD with ghc-9.2.2.
+
+
+### Please provide any additional information below.
+
+Building with `--allow-newer` first points at `bloomfilter` which is a [known problem with a patch](https://github.com/bos/bloomfilter/pull/20). The next problem is with `aws` and this appears to [also be a known issue](https://github.com/aristidb/aws/issues/275) which also [has a patch](https://github.com/aristidb/aws/pull/277).
+
+### Have you had any luck using git-annex before? 
+
+Yes, very much so. It works great as an OpenBSD port when built with ghc-8.10.6.
+
+### Minor fix is required to git-annex
+
+Once I apply this little fix to `git-annex` and the two patches referenced above, the code type-checks.
+
+```patch
