Had to deal with the gnutls +security hole fix, and upgrading that on the OSX autobuilder turned out to +be quite complicated due to library version skew. Also, I switched the +linux autobuilders over to building from Debian unstable, rather than +stable. That should be ok to do now that the standalone build bundles all +the libraries it needs... And the arm build has always used unstable, and +has been reported working on a lot of systems. So I think this will be +safe, but have backed up the old autobuilder chroots just in case. + +Also been catching up on bug reports and traffic and +and dealt with quite a lot of things today. Smarter log file +rotation for the assistant, better webapp behavior when git is not +installed, and a fix for the webdav 5 second timeout problem. + +Perhaps the most interesting change is a new `annex.startupscan` setting, +which can be disabled to prevent the assistant from doing the expensive +startup scan. This means it misses noticing any files that changed since it +last run, but this should be useful for those really big repositories. + +---- + +Today's work was sponsored by Michael Alan Dorman. |
