Updated the Debian stable backport to the last release. Also it seems that
 | 
						|
the last release unexpectedly fixed XMPP SIGILL on some OSX machines.
 | 
						|
Apparently when I rebuilt all the libraries recently, it somehow fixed that
 | 
						|
[[old_unsolved_bug|bugs/Share_with_friends_crash_in_osx]].
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
[RichiH](http://richardhartmann.de/) suggested "wrt ballooning memory on
 | 
						|
repair: can you read in broken
 | 
						|
stuff and simply stop reading once you reach a certain threshold, then
 | 
						|
start repairing, re-run fsck, etc?" .. I had considered that but was
 | 
						|
not sure it would work. I think I've gotten it to work.
 | 
						|
 | 
						|
Now working on a design for using a [[design/caching_database]]
 | 
						|
for some parts of git-annex. My initial benchmarks using SQLite
 | 
						|
indicate it would slow down associated file lookups by nearly an order of
 | 
						|
magnitude compared with the current ".map files" implementation.
 | 
						|
(But would scale better in edge cases). OTOH, using a SQLite
 | 
						|
database to index metadata for use in views looks very promising.
