I received this email from Matias Fonzo in reply to a message I sent him earlier today. With his permission, I am forwarding it to the list. The bottom line is that the requiring JavaScript access has proven to be fatal for his project's usage of Fossil.
-------- Forwarded Message -------- Subject: Re: Fossil README symlink Date: Tue, 17 Oct 2017 21:49:35 -0300 From: Matias Fonzo <[email protected]> Organization: Dragora GNU/Linux-Libre To: Andy Goth <[email protected]> Hello Andy, I'm happy that you (a developer of Fossil) wrote me. Also, glad to see that you solved the symlink issue, but i am afraid that is too late for us to continue using Fossil. We migrated to Git[1] (again): [1] http://git.savannah.nongnu.org/cgit/dragora.git/ This was our previous home prior to switch to Fossil. Fossil is a great software and I consider it better than Git. The problem is the Javascript code to avoid the spam, and some people reported that they can not enter to the Dragora's website, which is a problem for me[2].
