The next release of git-annex won't work with +msysgit any longer though; only with Git for Windows. + +On Friday, I improved the Windows package further, making it work even when +git is not added to the system PATH. In such an installation, git-annex +will now work inside the "git bash" window, and I even got the webapp +starting from the menu working without git in PATH. + +---- + +In other dependency fun, the daily builds for Linux got broken due to a +glibc bug in Debian unstable/testing, which makes the bundled curl and ssh +segfault. With some difficulty I tracked that down, and it turns out the +bug has been [fixed upstream](https://sourceware.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16381) +for quite a while. The daily builds are now using the fixed glibc 2.21. + +---- + +Today, got back to making useful improvements, rather than chasing +dependencies. Improved the bash completion for remotes and backends, +made annex.hardlink be used more, and made special remotes that are +configured with autoenable=true get automatically enabled by `git annex init`. |
