* Distributed version control - like git, hg, monotone, etc. * Adds: distributed wiki * Also: distributed bug tracking * Cross-platform (mac, windows, linux, any other unix) * Self-contained executable means trivial installation * All network traffic is HTTP - works across restrictive firewalls * Repository is a single file (an SQLite database) * Demonstrate the "fossil ui" command. Surf around on the web interface. * Show the 2-line CGI script needed to set up a fossil server * Sync lots of projects to a laptop using "fossil all sync". Work on an airplane. Then "fossil all sync" to upload you work after you land. * Fossil is self-hosting, of course. The fossil website is just a fossil instance and the "download" page http://www.fossil-scm.org/download.html * As of today, fossil is the version control used for SQLite. http://www.sqlite.org/fossil (Fossil depends on SQLite and SQLite depends on Fossil. Recursion is a wonderful thing.) * http://www.sqlite.org/fossil/stats > > -- > Alec Clews > Personal <[email protected]> Melbourne, Australia. > Jabber: [email protected] PGPKey ID: 0x9BBBFC7C > Blog http://alecthegeek.wordpress.com/ > > _______________________________________________ > fossil-users mailing list > [email protected] > http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users D.
