 I’m afraid social media presence, from someone with a nontrivial number of 
 followers, is something that is needed these days to gain any traction.

Which other DVCS have succeeded because of Google+?

 It's just about getting extra exposure. The best feature ideas and

I rather think it is the other way around: social networks stand to gain
from the hype of everyone clamoring to be there.

It brings to mind that scene in Jurassic Park where the child actor
exclaims It's a UNIX system!  Did this exposure cause new ideas in
UNIX?  Or did it actually benefit the movie by serving as an exotic
prop?

What better exposure than a Hollywood blockbuster?  Jurassic Park XIII,
at a command line terminal under a T-rex skeleton.  Cue child actor:
It's fossil, I know this!  Huge improvements incoming!

I am using it for some personal projects, but not 60K page views/day.
No problems here yet.

 Hi List
 
 Can fossil create an archive (tarball, zip file, etc) from a given
 artifact id WITHOUT using the web interface?
 Something like this is what I need:
 $ fossil archive ?ID | bzip2  distribution-version.tar.bz2
 
 Thanks

Good morning,

You could kludge it together using other features.  Here is an untested
script to give a rough idea.

Cheers,

$ cat fossil-archive.sh __EOF__
#!/bin/sh
url=$1
id=${2:-trunk}
if [ -z $url ]
then
echo Usage: fossil-archive.sh URL ?ID
exit 0
fi

dir=$(mktemp -d)
subdir=dist-$id

cd $dir
fossil clone $url dist.fossil
mkdir $subdir
cd -

cd $dir/$subdir
fossil open $dir/dist.fossil $id
cd -

cd $dir
tar jc $subdir
cd -

rm -fr $dir 
__EOF__

$ chmod a+rx fossil-archive.sh
$ ./fossil-archive.sh http://foo/bar dist-trunk.tar.bz2

  You need to also edit 816b791510bd638d and add the trunk branch there.
 
 You will  also want  to edit 1b524f8b49,  a242a0a019, and  5080e9080d to
 remove the trunk tag from there (not the branch).

Thank you, that is what I missed.

 It looks  like the  start of your  problem were the  edits to  the trunk
 here:
 
 http://code.rogueclass.org/rcl/timeline?n=30b=2013-09-16+05:33:49
 
 Notice that you edited faf2ad2219 and  removed the branch tag. I believe
 what you really intended to do was  edit 5080e9080d make it the start of
 a new branch.

As I recall it, I:
1) started a new branch sdl2-egl-fbcon on commit faf2ad2219
2) realized that I wanted commit 5080e9080d instead
3) edited commit faf2ad2219 to cancel the sdl2-egl-fbcon branch
   I think this also canceled trunk, but I am not sure why.
4) started a new branch sdl2-egl-fbcon on commit 5080e9080d
5) took a while to realize that trunk had been canceled

It seems that all is well now.  Thanks for the help!

p.s.  Every time I reboot the VM, the clock goes way off.  I corrected
this by configuring the VM to use UTC instead of local time.

 IIRC (but i might be misremembering) the open branches can be recomputed by
 running 'fossil rebuild' (which is a harmless op - it never hurts to run
 it). Something little voice in the back of my mind is saying that that's
 not right, but i'm up to my ears in JBoss cluster installations and can't
 go poke around the sources right now :/. Please try a rebuild and what Andy
 proposed, in either order, and set the system clock to avoid other
 (unrelated) problems, and let us know how that goes.

Hi Stephan,

Thank you for the advice.  It worked out great.

Good evening,

I took the following steps:
$ fossil clone http://code.rogueclass.org/rcl rcl-test1.fossil
$ mkdir rcl
$ cd rcl
$ fossil open ../rcl-test1.fossil
$ fossil update --latest
$ fossil settings autosync off
$ fossil ui 
* Edit commit faf2ad2219
* Start new branch trunk
$ fossil leaves --recompute

You can view the results at the following URL.
http://code.rogueclass.org/rcl-test1/

The good news is that the latest commit a6bf272559 is back in trunk, it
is labeled as a leaf in the timeline, and it is back on the Open leaves
page.

The bad news is that trunk is still listed on the Closed Branches page.

Is there a way to recompute the open branches?

Thank you,

[fossil-users] how to re-open trunk?

2013-11-10 Thread Ben Collver
Good morning,

I noticed that my trunk is closed in fossil [1].  The relevant timeline
is linked below [2].  What is the normal way to re-open trunk?  I could
not find it in the UI.

Re: [fossil-users] how to re-open trunk?

2013-11-10 Thread Ben Collver
Hi Stephan,

As a test, I cloned the repository and turned off autosync.  In the
clone, I added commit e9beac17da to the trunk branch and it appeared to
break the timeline.

I noticed that commit faf2ad2219 is the first one without the trunk tag.
I cloned the repository again, this time adding commit faf2ad2219 to the
trunk branch.  The timeline remained intact and the trunk tag propagated
all the way to the most recent commit!  However, no branches are listed
as open.  The trunk branch is on the closed branches page [1] and is
missing from the open branches.

I don't know why the latest commit isn't a leaf.  I should mention that
this repository is on a virtual machine and the clock drifts.  When it
drifts too far, I manually sync the clock over ntp.  I did not expect
the clock to be a problem because I never sync the clock in the middle
of a commit.

Thank you for the help so far,

-Ben

 Good evening, Ben,
 
 IIRC, you just need to open up the commit you want in the UI, probably this
 one:
 
 http://code.rogueclass.org/rcl/info/e9beac17da
 
 Try the Branches option and add it to the trunk branch. i seem to

 i'm a bit confused about this part:
 
 http://code.rogueclass.org/rcl/timeline
 
 the commit on Nov 9th at 1532 is a leaf and its ancestor on Nov 10th at
 1757 is not.
 
 i'd clone it and take a look but i'm about 10 minutes from shutting down my
 PC for the night and know i won't get any time to look at it the next
 couple of days. So... i'll just hope that someone else can shed some light
 on this for us.
