Re: [fossil-users] announce: drop-off site for unofficial Pi/ODroid binaries
i have an Android eMMC module for my odroid, but it won't run on my particular monitor (which has only a DVI, not native HDMI, and Android doesn't appear to like that via the adapter). It does run on my tv, though. At some point i might tinker around with getting sshd and a dev env set up on that, but the last time i tried (two summers ago, on an Asus Transformer tablet) it was just more hassle than it was worth (i love my tablets, but i like using them more than hacking on them). That said, a pointer to some good docs on getting an environment up and running goes a long way! Try installing Terminal IDE https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.spartacusrex.spartacuside on an Android device. In the author's words, it is ...an expandable terminal application, with a full Java / C / C++ / HTML / Android development kit, that runs on your Android device. It includes sshd for remote development work, too. I have it on my phone, just have not had a chance to mess with it yet. Tell me what config flags you want and i can get a build done for you, provided any necessary deps are installable via apt-get. Sorry, I have no idea. I have only built on Windows using the included mingw makefiles, and I no longer need to do that since the Windows binary on the website now includes SSL. I keep my private repositories behind an SSL-only reverse proxy.

Re: [fossil-users] Intent to release version 1.29
I will avoid the rant I had just written and simply say that I do not use cmd.exe except where required. I use PowerShell exclusively, which makes cmd.exe look like the ancient tool it is, and there are debates that PowerShell is better than bash due to its use of objects instead of straight text (I suck at regex, so I prefer objects). I will leave that flame war for another day, as I like bash on *nix machines and love PowerShell on Windows. I just don't like to mix the two :).

Re: [fossil-users] SSL issue on Mac OS/X?
I use Windows and a StartCom certificate, but I have to specify the root CA cert using ssl-ca-location. Does Fossil on Linux use built-in trusted root CAs? On Windows it does not; maybe OSX has similar behavior. I think fossil usually throws a root certificate error, though, when it cannot validate the remote certificate, but just thought I would offer this.

Re: [fossil-users] Intent to release version 1.29
Alternatively, you can add the location of Fossil to your PATH or the system PATH. I use chocolatey as package manager, and it creates a folder that gets added to PATH. I add a fossil.bat file in there (similar to the already existing batch files) so I can access it anywhere. Before I started using chocolatey, though, I just added my main fossil directory to my PATH (usually c:\temp\fossil).

The reason I am expecting it to work is because fossil.exe is in fact in a directory stored in the path environment variable. Again, not sure if this is really a Fossil issue but I wanted to run it by you just in case. No, this is not a fossil issue. The directory C:\Windows\system32 is meant for 64-bit executables if you are on a 64-bit Windows system, but fossil is a 32-bit executable. The C:\Windows\system32 directory is invisible to 32-bit applications. You should place fossil.exe in C:\Windows\SysWOW64 in stead, then it should work.

Re: [fossil-users] Please improve documentation for the checkout command
I only use fossil update to move between branches; I have never used co/checkout and I only use fossil open when opening a cloned repository (I have only created a new repository once...) . I have never had any issues with it, except for the occasional merge conflict in a settings file (I keep a lot of daily use scripts with settings files in my fossil repository - easy to keep everything synced with history). As for branching, I use branches for scripts that contain multiple files or are part of a larger group, so I branch quite frequently. However, I also merge to trunk fairly frequently so that I usually only have to fossil update trunk on a different computer (I use 3 different computers pretty regularly for my work within fossil). Of course, I'm just one person working on a single-user repository, so ymmv. David, if you are thinking about moving to fossil, I definitely recommend trying it. Granted, I came from a version control system that was a vbscript that made a copy of files in a specific folder every time the contents were modified. It was very difficult to find history in that, so I decided to research versioning systems and decided on fossil. Once I played with it and figured out the best way to fit it into my workflow, I could not be happier. The web interface (which was a requirement for me) is amazing, and the addition of a free/no-hassle wiki and ticketing system were just bonuses. I use the wiki pretty extensively for notes not directly related to my work within fossil. And I even learned how to actually build a piece of software from source since the fossil release for Windows when I started did not support SSL.

Are branches easier to deal with in fossil? i can't compare it to hg, but compared to svn, branching in fossil is absolute child's play. i don't often use branches, basically only because of my own historical momentum, but when i _do_ use them in Fossil i never regret it (as i often have/do with svn).

Another possible option would be to use fossil deconstruct to extracts the artifacts into files, then copy the desired artifacts to another directory and use fossil reconstruct. I suspect there are some other artifacts that will also need to be copied in order to create a valid repository.

[fossil-users] Issues with Compiling Fossil on Windows with SSL
I am having trouble compiling fossil on windows with SSL. I have tried MinGW/MSYS and Cygwin, and I get stuck at different parts. When I use MinGW/MSYS, I get an error in utf8.c about cywgin_conv_path not being defined. When I use Cygwin, I get pretty far before getting an error, wbld/sqlite3.o:sqlite3.c:(.text+0x158e7): undefined reference to `_msize' // wbld/sqlite3.o:sqlite3.c:(.text+0x3b21): undefined reference to `_msize' followed by bad reloc address in section '.data'. I have successfully compiled Fossil with SSL, but it was more than a year ago and I would like to update to the latest version. I have basic installations of MinGW/MSYS and Cygwin, with all the right extras added in, but I do not know what to do with these errors. I am a primarily Windows user, so I do not have any experience with compiling programs. I searched through the list archives and tried to adapt the solutions and steps I saw to fix my problems, but was ultimately unable to. I am hoping somebody can help.
