Re: [fossil-users] Thoughts about the Custom Pages feature

2012-07-07 Thread Gary_Gabriel

Hi Stephan and List,

You posted some good ideas and took on the difficult job of beginning 
the development spec. The Münich event addressed some of the points you 
consider below. As you remember the event occasionally split into groups 
and Richard took the time to discuss and clarify a few of the points 
below in a small group.


For 1). Another migration path that natively supports this method is 
the source documentation method used by SQLite. As you know; SQLite 
documentation is written in the c sources and Tcl scripts pull it into 
the finished documentation form. These docs and scripts are available on 
the docs respository. Generating source documentation would be an 
alternative to 1). Richard was kind enough in one of these small 
groups to outline the basics of this system. I noted the originating 
files and could forward it if desired.


2) Custom pages serve output in one of the following forms:




If TH1 is not powerful enough for this case (i don't know if it is or 
isn't, or if it is easy enough to extend), the next obvious choice 
would be the TCL support (which is, AFAIK, still living in its own 
branch?).


For 2) Joe Mistachkin's previous answer in this thread simplifies these 
considerations. According to the information given at the Munich Event 
enabling Tcl will either enable the system Tcl or the abbreviated, small 
footprint version Jim.

http://jim.tcl.tk/index.html/doc/www/www/index.html . These options can 
provide the needed scripting support.


Tcl also offers a possible alternative to jquery. tDom  http 
http://wiki.tcl.tk/http://tdom.github.com/ contains XPath which 
queries the Dom and parse Html.  I also agree that Tcl use should be 
pursued.

[fossil-users] feature request: commit option to close merged leaf

2012-07-07 Thread Stephan Beal
Hiho,

i've come across the twice the past couple days:

- merge something from branch foo to trunk.
- edit branch foo and close it.

Could fossil's infrastructure support the ability (via an option) to close
a merged-in leaf on successful commit after a merge? e.g.

fossil merge foo trunk
fossil commit -m '...' --close-parents

which would then close all non-primary parents (most often just one).

:-?

What is essential to understand in the consideration between TCL and 
Jquery is that

  * TCl is a server side language
  * jQeury(javascript) is a client side (browser) language

I think it is
  * not a tcl or jquery(=javascript) question
  * more a tcl and jquery question
  * or you could go for javascript as server and client language,
well you could have if we started with that language.
  * going al the way with tcl(also on the client side) seems to fight
against the direction where most projects are moving to (e.g. more 
javascript).
It will be much effort to get tcl at a level where it can compete 
with javascript (facilities)

on the client side.
