Hi,
Is anyone having difficulties with the assistant and gpg-agent? Particularly with multiple repos syncing to a crypt backup?
It seems to work for a while and then according to the error logs I can't decrypt the manifest...I'm wondering if there is some sort of locking involved that only lets one repo sync to a gcrypt repo at a time? I can't think why the gpg-agent would stop providing the key.
I also have a rather horrible time with gpg-agent in general: I now start each repos git annex assistant individually in the shell (from which I can confirm the gpg-agent is working) rather than launch the web-app direct.
hmmm - a command line based git annex sync always works. So either the assistant has a separate locking mechanism or the assistant is somehow losing the gpg-agent environment. Does the assistant restart/respawn itself and lose access to the gpg-agent env?
I'm somewhat clutching at straws here.
I see in the comments here a possible explanation...
