Hello all! I'm currently using fossil in a way which I think is somewhat nonstandard, but had a feature request that could potentially be useful to others as well.
Rather than having a central, pseudo-public facing process, we are using fossil exclusively behind SSH. There is a shared account ([email protected]) with PKI, and we all have default user accounts to track changes (fossil user default xxx). The reason for this is that the codebase is sensitive, and we prefer to keep services behind ipsec/ssh when possible. Fossil supports ssh pretty well, so we determined this is easier for some of our non-technical users to get up and running. For developers, this process works great. Autosync performs flawlessly, and we go about our business. However when filing tickets through the UI, a "fossil sync" seems to be mandatory. My request is that tickets also get pushed via an autosync function on changes. Also, I was pleasantly surprised to find that fossil has a statically-linked flavor on OpenBSD, which makes it trivial to chroot via ssh. We have had nightmares in the past trying to do this with git (why does it need /dev/random access!?, and no, git-shell doesn't count). Thanks everyone who helped make fossil possible. We have quite enjoyed it thus far :) _______________________________________________ fossil-users mailing list [email protected] http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
