[fossil-users] Commit question
Command: Fossil commit -m Added Test.bat Test.bat Response: Test.bat contains CR/NL line endings; commit anyhow (y/N/a)? Of course it does. All Windows text files contain /r/n. Why is Fossil asking this question and, more importantly, how do I make it stop? This must have been added within the last few weeks because I never saw it until I upgraded to the latest version of Fossil.

[fossil-users] sqlite.org skin
What skin is the sqlite.org fossil repository using? It is not in the default skins that come with fossil. Is it published somewhere?

If you clone the fossil repository and then do fossil config export skin sqlite-skin.txt -R sqlite.fossil you'll have the complete skin-spec in the file sqlite-skin.txt. You can then import it into whatever you want using fossil config import sqlite-skin.txt -R myrepo.fossil.

On *nix systems, the line ending is \n, and having extra newlines in files can actually break them. i've seen, several times, cases where Windows-based Java developers edit a shell script, check it in, release the software, and then the scripts won't run on the customer's target (Unix) system because the shell name /bin/sh\r is not recognized as a shell/command. Some Windows editors can handle and/or emit Unix-style line-ends, but notepad does not. On a related note: some tools (like cvs or svn) warn if a file's last line has no end-of-line marker. That's because (as i was taught, anyway) the official definition of a text file is basically variable-length records separated by a record separator (an end-of-line sequence (\n on *nix, \r\n on Windows)), and that the last record must also have such a separator. -- - stephan beal http://wanderinghorse.net/home/stephan/ ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
[fossil-users] Fossil cannot add filenames with \*[]?
Hi, This weekend I was shouting praises of Fossil to a friend in the release business and he summarily shot me down with a simple attempt to add his Subversion based repository. Fossil failed on filenames containing brackets - []. Huh? Browsing the mail shows this to be a known issue. Browsing the responses came up short. Any glaring reason(s) for not allowing certain wildcards in filenames? Especially when competing SCM's are already past this... I don't use these characters myself, and continue to use Fossil. -Steve ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

Re: [fossil-users] Fossil cannot add filenames with \*[]?
Hi, I looked at the offending files and the brackets as you may have guessed contained incremental numerals. something[1].bin, something[2].bin, etc. Given the filenames are accepted by the O/S, wouldn't it be more prudent to optionally allow these and other wildcards? I'm no fan of branching off for want of a file filter. ;) -Steve On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 5:23 PM, Richard Hipp d...@sqlite.org wrote: On Mon, Apr 4, 2011 at 5:11 PM, sky5w...@gmail.com wrote: Hi, This weekend I was shouting praises of Fossil to a friend in the release business and he summarily shot me down with a simple attempt to add his Subversion based repository.

Browsing the responses came up short. Any glaring reason(s) for not allowing certain wildcards in filenames? Especially when competing SCM's are already past this... In some development environments, these characters are not a problem. Only the characters used by the file system, such as / in Unix/Linux and \ and : in Windows, are not allowed in file names. However, in environments that, directly or indirectly, use command line processing, such as shell scripts, .BAT scripts and even make files, these characters are often used for other purposes and will cause problems if not properly quoted and/or escaped. That typically adds ', and \ to the list of problem characters. Also, ; is often used as a command delimiter, and the space and tab characters are often used as parameter delimiters. As antiquated as it may sound, there as still many tools that assume these restrictions are in place. (As an FYI. even Windows admins use a command line environment, especially for custom automated procedures, which is why Windows still has a command line.) All that said, however, it would make sense to make the prohibition of these characters a configurable setting. There are plenty of new developpers who have never had to worry about these restrictions, so will likely choose an SCM that either lacks these restrictions or can be configured to disable them. ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
