At first I thought this was just due +to the holidays, even though holidays are often busy times for free +software projects since lots of people have more time. But, traffic is +still down this week, and several people emailed me about problems logging +into the website. + +So, lacking much detail at all about what people were doing that didn't +work, I've the past day and a some trying to guess at and reproduce +the problem. And I think I have, , +and once reproduced it was of course easily fixed. + +If you tried to post something and got a login prompt instead of seeing it +on the website, now would be a good time to post it again. + +If you still have login problems with the website (other than openid which +has lot of broken providers and badly specified protocol and stuff), please +get in touch and try to provide enough detail to reproduce the problem, cuz +my guessing muscles are feeling sprained after this experience. + +In the meantime, there has still been git-annex development happening. +I added a new `git annex inprogress` command over the holidays that +allows doing things like streaming videos while `git annex get` is still +downloading them. Several fixes to problems with the switch to youtube-dl +are fixed, core.sharedRepository is handled better, and the cabal file's +custom-setup stanza was added back after quite a lot of refactoring of +library code. + +--- + +Today's work was sponsored by an anonymous bitcoin donor. -- cgit v1.2.3
