Hello I recently switched a project from mercurial to fossil, and I'm having some transition pains. I'm sure most of my difficulties stem from the fact that I just started using fossil and am used to doing things in other scm-centric ways.
Hosting a Repository -------------------- My web hosting provider does not allow CGI, and I can't run "fossil serv" on their server. Are there any free fossil-scm hosts out there for an open source project? If there aren't what would be the best way to share out a repository to other developers (that aren't on my local network). I thought there was talk a while ago about a PHP front-end to a fossil repository. My web host allows PHP. Is that under development or did I just imagine that? I tried to use the mailing-list archive to look it up, but the archive is still off-line. Deleting a Ticket ----------------- I added a bug ticket, and I must have clicked the button twice because it generated two tickets. How do you delete a ticket item? Copying a Working Directory --------------------------- I'm a little confused about what happens when I make a copy of the directory containing my repository and the source code. They seem to stay linked somehow. Why is this, how do I stop it from happening, or is it a feature that I should learn to appreciate? For example: I am working on a fossil managed project contained in the XXX directory. I want to do something crazy to the code. There's a 95% chance that I just want to throw all the changes away. So I just make a copy of the XXX directory. Let's call it YYY. Now, I go into the YYY directory and do crazy change 1 then do a "fossil ci". I do crazy change 2 and do a "fossil ci". If I return to the XXX directory and do a "fossil ti", I can see the crazy changes I made to YYY. In Mercurial the directories are completely compartmentalized. If I choose to keep the changes, I just push the changes back to XXX. If I don't want the changes I can just delete the directory YYY. Is this a bug? Is it a feature? What's the proper fossil technique? Fossil Settings --------------- Fossil has a great web based UI to adjust fossil settings. You can also adjust some fossil settings via the command line using "fossil set". But I can't seem to locate the setting available through "fossil set" in the web UI. Are they there and I just can't find them, or are they missing for a reason?
