Hello All,
I'm new to Fossil, but as a heavy Emacs user the first thing I tried to
do was to use Fossil from within Emacs. I found the 'vc-fossil' package
on MELPA, but when I installed it I found it didn't work -- further
investigation led me to the following repository:-
https://chiselapp.com/user/venks/repository/emacs-fossil
where I could see that the vc-fossil backend had not been updated for
Emacs 25. So I created a ticket with a patch (then appended a better
patch that maintained backward compatibility). I then realized that the
MELPA build recipe wasn't actually pointing to this repository, but to a
Git clone of it in the emacsorphanage on github, so thinking it wasn't
maintained any more I cloned that repository too, applied my patch, and
issued a pull request.
So now I'm wondering, is this project actively maintained anymore? If
so then I think we need to mirror it as a Git repository (because it
seems MELPA does not support Fossil anymore), and then point MELPA to it.
Also, I have a clone on chiselapp.com that includes my patch and adds
support for renamed files. It's marked as private but can still be
browsed-to directly at:-
https://chiselapp.com/user/pdo/repository/emacs-fossil
where my additions are in the 'pdo' branch.
