Like Joshua said, Chisel is really just a simple way to spawn new repositories and keep them under a user structure. At this time I don't plan on releasing the source code, as you might imagine it really isn't all that impressive. However, I do plan on adding new features to chisel, like better repository management. I've been thinking about a better way to link up repository credentials, so you can change your user password and have it be reflective across all repositories, however I haven't come up with a good way to set the password on newly created repositories without storing user password in cleartext, which I really don't want to do. Right now it's a one way hash using a key to compare the hash I have and what you enter at login time. Right now I'm just having fun using fossil more and more, as you might imagine all chisel development is housed in a fossil repository! _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
