Seems that Git for Windows was released a few weeks ago, replacing msysgit.
|
||
|
|
There were a couple problems using git-annex with that package of git,
|
||
|
|
which I fixed on Thursday. 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`.
