That is very true. However, is it really that different of a scenario than the choice of programming language used in a repo (I'm assuming the majority of Fossil users are using it for source code versioning). Anyone who clones the repo or who wishes to contribute to the project will have to install whatever compiler, interpreter, and/or buildtools that are required to make the project. -- Christopher Berardi http://www.natoufa.com/ May grace and peace by yours in abundance. _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
