I originally contributed this SlackBuild script for 1.27 then later
updated for 1.28. I plan to continue updating the SlackBuild script as
each new release comes out, though others can take on this duty if they
feel they can handle it in a more timely fashion.
As with all SlackBuild scripts, the installation procedure is:
1. Download the Fossil source, SlackBuild scripts, and signature using
the links on the page.
2. Verify signature against http://slackbuilds.org/GPG-KEY .
3. Unpack SlackBuild script archive.
4. Put source archive in unpacked SlackBuild script directory.
5. Run the SlackBuild script to generate a Slackware package in /tmp.
6. Run installpkg /tmp/fossil-1.28-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz or whatever it's
called on your system.
7. Optionally delete /tmp/SBo and /tmp/fossil-*_SBo.tgz .
This is an important first step to getting Fossil included in the
standard Slackware distribution. Slackware currently includes RCS, CVS,
Subversion, git, and Mercurial. It also has SQLite (library, shell,
headers, and Tcl extension).
As for the next step... there isn't a defined process for lobbying Pat.
As far as I know, Fossil needs to make a public splash, and it helps a
lot if its compilation procedure is already given to him.
