The OSX Mtn Lion builds were pulling in a build of gpg +that wanted a gpg-agent to be installed in /usr/local or it wouldn't work. +I had to build my own gpg on OSX to work around this. I am pondering making +the OSX dmg builds pull down the gpg source and build their own binary, +so issues on the build system can't affect it. But would really rather not, +since maintaining your own version of every dependency on every +OS is hard (pity about there still being so many OS's without sane package +management). + +On Android, which I have not needed to touch for a month, gpg was built +with --enable-minimal, which turned out to not be necessary and was +limiting the encryption algorythms included, and led to +interoperability problems for some. Fixed that gpg build too. + +Also fixed an ugly bug in the webapp when setting up a rsync repository. +It would configure `~/.ssh/authorized_keys` on the server to force +git-annex-shell to be run. Which doesn't work for rsync. I didn't notice +this before because it doesn't affect ssh servers that already have a ssh +setup that allows accessing them w/o a password. + +Spent a while working on a bug that can occur in a non-utf8 locale +when using special characters in the directory name of a ssh remote. +I was able to reproduce it, but have not worked out how to fix it; encoding +issues like this are always tricky. + +Added something to the walkthrough to help convince people that yes, you +can use tags and branches with git-annex just like with regular git. One of +those things that is so obvious to the developer writing the docs +that it's hard to realize it will be a point of concern. + +Seems like there is a release worth of changes already, so I plan to push +it out tomorrow. |
