The last peice of the +puzzle was making `git-annex-shell recv-key` check data it's received from +direct mode repositories. This is a bit expensive, but avoids adding +another round-trip to the protocol. I might revisit this later, this was +just a quick fix. + +--- + +The [[poll|what is preventing me from using git-annex assistant]] was +quite useful. Some interesting points: + +* 14% have been reading this blog, and rightly don't trust direct mode to + be safe. Which is why I went ahead with a quick fix to make it safe. +* 6% want an Ubuntu PPA. I don't anticipate doing this myself, but + if anyone who develops for Ubuntu wants to put together a PPA with a + newer version, I can help you pick the newer haskell packages you'll + need from Debian, etc. +* 9% just need me to update the amd64 build in Debian sid. I forgot to + include it in the last release, and the Debian buildds cannot currently + autobuild git-annex due to some breakage in the versions of haskell + libraries in unstable. Hopefully I'll remember to include an amd64 build + in my next release. + +And lots of other interesting stuff, I have a nice new TODO list now. :) -- cgit v1.2.3
