Thanks for the heads up.
As far as I can see, the necessary libraries are included in the standalone build. So it should work when used as intended via `runshell`.
But that's not what the AUR is doing. It's binary editing (!!) the git-annex binary to use different library sonames, and taking the git-annex binary and dropping it unprotected into a system it was not built for to fend for itself.
That strikes me as a technique that is unlikely to continue working, and one that I cannot commit to support.
I don't want to cause you Arch people unnecessary work, but building a 64 bit standalone build every time I release git-annex is unnecessary work on my part, as long as the 32 bit one works everywhere when used as designed. If someone has to do this 64 bit build, why not you? This would also avoid any further breakage, since you could build it against the actual library sonames it's going to be used with on Arch.

restarting == Stop git-annex using the gui (Confirm shutdown daemon). Then check if there are running git process (ps -e |grep git),
if there are kill it, if (defunct) process present, then restart computer. Then launch git-annex using \"git-annex-webapp\" script).
So its a normal program usage (start-stop cycle).
The .git directory is growing. Without a single file moving/deleting/renaming/editing in the working directory.
So the .git directory just grows, and I think it is a bug, and a bad one. (if we ignore the logging problem, the slow startup, the failing of disk full).
I'll give it a spin to the autobuild (http://downloads.kitenet.net/git-annex/autobuild/i386/git-annex-standalone-i386.tar.gz), and report back. It will take at least 2 day, to repeat my whole experience. So expect update from me wednesday the soonest.
Best, Laszlo
