Activity has been a bit low again this week. It seems to make sense to do
weekly releases currently (rather than bi-monthly), and Thursday's
release had only one new feature (Tahoe LAFS) and a bunch of bug fixes.

Looks like git-annex will get back into Debian testing soon, after various
fixes to make it build on all architectures again, and then the
backport can be updated again too.

I have been struggling with a problem with the OSX builds, which fail with
a SIGKILL on some machines. It seems that homebrew likes to agressively
optimise things it builds, and while I have had some success with its
`--build-bottle` option, something in the gnutls stack used for XMPP is
still over-optimised. Waiting to hear back from Kevin on cleaning up some
optimised system libraries on the OSX host I use. (Is there some way to make
a clean chrooot on OSX that can be accessed by a non-root user?)

Today I did some minor work involving the --json switch, and also 
a small change (well, under 300 line diff) allowing
--all to be mixed with options like --copies and --in.
