[fossil-users] Running a Fossil server alongside Apache on Ubuntu

2017-01-04 Thread Damien Sykes-Lindley
Hi there, I have recently delved into the technical joys and jargon of Linux, but I’m still fairly new so you’ll have to excuse me if these questions are more system than Fossil related. 1. I am currently only aware of installing software via package managers (in my case APT). For some reason

[fossil-users] Fossil Captchas

2017-03-26 Thread Damien Sykes-Lindley
Hi there, Is there any chance an option can be added in Fossil whereby, when/where a captcha is required, the task is to answer a question instead? I say this because, as a totally blind screen reader user, captchas are generally inaccessible to us. Ordinarily, most sites have an audio captcha

[fossil-users] Fossil hosting platforms

2017-04-23 Thread Damien Sykes-Lindley
Hey there, I currently know of two Fossil hosting systems, Flint and Hydra. 1. I have seen Flint in action and so have an idea what it’s about. It separates repositories into users and makes them either public or private. Is Hydra any different, or is it just an alternative? Do either of them

[fossil-users] Fossil performance and optimisation

2017-08-11 Thread Damien Sykes-Lindley
Hi, I was introduced to Fossil about three years ago. It is the first VCS I have actually used extensively for my own work and as such I haven't really had much to compare it with. However, now I'm in the realm of contributing code I am having to learn how to make use of other systems as well.

[fossil-users] Captchas

2017-08-11 Thread Damien Sykes-Lindley
Hi there, A while ago, I wrote about the possibility of providing an accessible alternative to an ASCII-art CAPTCHA system due to the fact that visually impaired users can only read these, through screen reading technology, as a series of dashes, dots and bars. Although the CAPTCHA system is no

[fossil-users] Action-based automation and scripting

2017-08-11 Thread Damien Sykes-Lindley
Hi there, Is it possible for Fossil to run scripts when performing operations like creating new repositories, importing, exporting, committing etc? I'm guessing there will be somewhere, since sometimes people want to have an automated commit build, mail announcements and the likes, without

Hi there, Asking a lot of questions lately. Sorry about this. Not exactly sure how Git stores its data, but I know both local Git itself likes you to add a name to its configuration, and also remote services such as GitHub and GitLab also require an account to edit repositories. Are any of

[fossil-users] Initial empty checkin?

2017-07-16 Thread Damien Sykes-Lindley
Hi there, Is there a way of removing or preventing the creation of the “initial empty checkin”? I personally can’t see any practical uses for that, unless the implementation somehow requires it. Also, this checkin seems to be automatically sent to trunk. Is there any way of renaming this
