From 31807817d44e317c4cc807703ea4df6ffff6687e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Joey Hess Date: Sun, 6 Oct 2013 20:43:22 -0400 Subject: work around ssh brain-damange The control socket path passed to ssh needs to be 17 characters shorter than the maximum unix domain socket length, because ssh appends stuff to it to make a temporary filename. Closes: #725512 Also, take the shorter of the relative and the absolute paths to the socket. Typically the relative path will be a lot shorter (unless deep inside a subdirectory of the repository), and so using it will avoid flirting with the maximum safe socket lenghts in more situations, and so lead to less breakage if all my attempts at fixing this are still buggy. --- debian/changelog | 3 +++ 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+) (limited to 'debian/changelog') diff --git a/debian/changelog b/debian/changelog index 6768077fd..cd0923ee9 100644 --- a/debian/changelog +++ b/debian/changelog @@ -7,6 +7,9 @@ git-annex (4.20131003) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * addurl: Better sanitization of generated filenames. * Better sanitization of problem characters when generating URL and WORM keys. + * The control socket path passed to ssh needs to be 17 characters + shorter than the maximum unix domain socket length, because ssh + appends stuff to it to make a temporary filename.
