I've taken a first pass through it and fixed the most pressing +issues now. + +Most important was an ugly memory corruption problem in the GHC runtime +system that may have led to data corruption when using git-annex with Linux +kernels older than 4.5. All the Linux standalone builds of git-annex have +been updated to fix that issue. + +Today dealt with several more things, including fixing a buggy timestamp +issue with `metadata --batch`, reverting the ssh ServerAliveInterval +setting (broke on too many systems with old ssh or complicated ssh +configurations), making batch input not be rejected when it can't be decoded +as UTF-8, and more. + +Also, spent some time learning a little bit about Magic Wormhole and SPAKE, +as a way to exchange tor remote addresses. Using Magic Wormhole for that +seems like a reasonable plan. I did file a couple bugs on it which will +need to get fixed, and then using it is mostly a question of whether it's +easy enough to install that git-annex can rely on it. |
