Seem to be getting near an end of the easy stuff, +and also the webapp is getting pretty usable on Windows now, the only +really important thing lacking is XMPP support. + +Made git-annex on Windows set HOME when it's not already set. Several of +the bundled cygwin tools only look at HOME. This was made a lot harder and +uglier due to there not being any way to modify the environment of the +running process.. git-annex has to re-run itself with the fixed +environment. + +Got rsync.net working in the webapp. Although with an extra rsync.net +password prompt on Windows, which I cannot find a way to avoid. + +While testing that, I discovered that openssh 6.5p1 has broken support for +~/.ssh/config Host lines that contain upper case letters! I have filed a +bug about this and put a quick fix in git-annex, which sometimes generated +such lines. |
