[Forwarding the thread to the Debian/Ubuntu Fossil maintainer]
Hi Barak,
Please send a proper URL for bug reports against the Debian/Ubuntu packages.
As you can see from this beautiful thread, our list seriously lacks the
maintainers voice ;-)
Kind Regards,
Alek

Hello all,
New to Fossil and what I see so far is perfect for our needs. I
installed the Fossil package from Ubuntu 12.04 repositories using the
apt-get install command. I would like to upgrade to the last version
and from what I have found in the documentation it seems all I need to
do is download the Linux zip file and replace the existing fossil exe
with the new one.
The current fossil executable is located in /usr/bin. When I unzipped
the Linux zip file I put the new fossil file in the /usr/bin directory
and when I try to use fossil I get an internal server error. While in
the /usr/bin directory I tried "fossil all rebuild" and I get "No such
file or directory".
When I type fossil in the directory I unzipped the new file I get the
fossil command help, so I assume that it works.
How do I get to the new version of fossil?
Unfortunately, Linux seems to be devolved such that various distributions
are no longer binary compatible. You have to have a executable compiled for
your particular build of your distribution. Or, at least, I haven't figured
out how to create an executable that works across multiple distributions....
On the other hand, it is easy to compile from sources on Linux. Just grab
the source tarball and untar it. Then do:
./configure --with-openssl=none; make
The command above will generate the "fossil" executable in your working
directory. To install the new executable:
sudo mv fossil /usr/bin
The environment is Ubuntu 12.04 LTS.
Thanks
