I thought that Fossil had/was getting triggers? What ever happened with
those?
I've since switched back to Git, even though I don't like it as much,
partially due to tooling support. But it'd be nice to return to Fossil
one day.
One thing I do in Gitolite is hit my Jenkins server via web hooks. It
might be nice if Fossil could post every change to a secondary server,
maybe something like CouchDB's changes feed, and that secondary server
could offer a variety of ways to act on those changes separate from the
CGI request/response cycle. Embedded TH1/TCL might also be nice for
folks running the Fossil server, though I don't know if the server
architecture can handle running a trigger in a separate thread.
When I used Fossil, I remember there being some support for this, but it
wasn't too well-documented. If the existing triggers can support this, a
"practical examples" wiki page might be helpful.
It might also be helpful to add a generic "change" hook rather than
hooks in each part of the interface. I'd rather get the firehose with
choice of what to drink, than selective trickles from only certain areas.

I've noted there were some related threads recently, but I've not got
a really clear picture what the best approach would be. we also are
hit by this problem: a central repo used by some 10 people max. for
creating tickets and following changes to those through the web gui
w/o using fossil themselves locally.
it has turned out that the system works just fine _except_ that I get
many requests for automated email notification since of course
everybody is too busy to actively check the repo (well, that's how it
is ...). so the endeavor is in danger of dying a slow death...
question: given that the repo runs on a linux machine, could I please
get some advice what would be the easiest way (if at all) to implement
automated email notification of changes to the repo (and considering
that the repo is served via cgi and https, i.e. content is private and
password protected on a per user base). I mean without jumping through
too many loops, if possible.
thanks in advance

ps: I also failed to get rss notification running since I have not
found any rss reader (execept the one integrated in opera 12.x
browser/mail client) who manages private (password protected/https)
feeds. is there such a thing (ideally for all platforms)?
