Hi Damien,
Full disclosure: I am the Hydra author.
Hydra repositories are not tied to particular users. Administrators can freely
modify the repository permissions, and can make them 'private' by removing view
permissions for the nobody&anonymous users.
I don't think either flint or hydra supports anything similar to github
organizations. All they do is provide a thin wrapper around fossil to automate
repository creation (and, in the case of Hydra, a global single sign-on across
all repositories, which is really the only major difference between the two;
Hydra also uses a long random token as the fossil password instead of the login
password). That said, it shouldn't be very difficult to implement, thanks for
the suggestion.
I haven't ever set up a flint instance so I can't compare. Hydra is no harder
to set up than any other django app (setting up a http server and an app
server, and maybe an actual database although sqlite should probably be fine
unless you have lots of traffic). That being said, I should probably have added
a setup guide somewhere... sorry...
IMPORTANT SECURITY NOTICE: Note that both flint and hydra suffer from a major,
easily *exploitable* vulnerability (XSS attack), and is exploitable by any user
who can admin or create repositories. For more detail see
http://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org/msg25070.html and
http://www.mail-archive.com/fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org/msg25075.html . I
strongly advise against setting up a flint/hydra instance with open
registration.
Best regards,
Eduard
