Be aware that you WILL have to add scripts around that to make it work for you because fossil does not (and will not) have support for all the various permissions, nor for changing owners/groups of files. Some files under /etc REQUIRE very specific permissions or they won't work. e.g. /etc/shadow is required to NOT be world-readable, and files under /etc/ssh may not work if they're world-writable. IMO, fossil is most definitely not the right tool for versioning /etc (or any system-level files, for that matter). YMMV, of course, and you might want to search through the list archives for various discussions on this topic (one or two of them quite recently - the past few months). PS: no need to wait for 1.29 - build it from the trunk (since you're on Linux, that's trivial to do). FWIW, myself and the other devs basically always use whatever's at the tip of whatever branch(es) we're playing with. -- ----- stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ http://gplus.to/sgbeal "Freedom is sloppy.
