With just TH1, you should be able to send some information to a HTTP based service, which could then perform more complex operations with that information.

Re: [fossil-users] Action-based automation and scripting
Hi there, I didn't get around to looking at all the resources provided in the below email when it was sent. I know it was a fair while ago now, so not sure if much has changed since. 1. TH1Hooks In the Fossil TH1 documentation, I can find nothing regarding hooks. I also can't seem to find anything regarding the sort of things I might want to do after a commit, such as email, writing to files etc. I'm assuming TH1 can't do this automatically and you've got to do some hackery to get that to work? Especially if you want to send it to somewhere like Twitter like GitHub can do. 2. timeline.rss As it happens, I have never messed with RSS documents in my life so this would be a totally new adventure. However I'm guessing that would still need login credentials for private repositories, which would obviously make it difficult for external scripts to access. 3. LibFossil Turning from scripting to mainstream programming is much more complicated than I originally anticipated, so trying to get LibFossil to work with Fossil 2 repositories is a bit beyond me right now, so I guess that won't be an option for a fair while. 4. JSON API: The link for this only takes me to a GoogleDocs file so not quite sure how it sits in Fossil itself...Even if it was fully functional I believe this would have the same problem as the RSS - I.E. that it would need an authenticated user for private repos. If I could get it working, sounds to me like the TH1 option is the best, but again, it's knowing how that works and how to do more complicated things with it, as it only seems to list commands for checking different things in the repository and dealing with data and variable rather than complicated tasks like I/O or internet communication etc. On the other hand, I may even be missing something totally obvious with the other options. I doubt email would be possible at this moment, but even if I could make a script for Fossil to send some kind of message to my main PC or have my main PC monitor the repo somehow, for the time being, it would be better than nothing.

Hi Stephan,
Oh wow. That must be so frustrating. Keyboards, both musical and computer, are
the centre of my life right now, so if that ever happened to me I would be
completely devastated.
Hope things work out for you.
Best,
Damien.

That was me. An unusually extreme case of RSI ("Sulcus-ulnaris Syndrome" in

nearly-3 years, so libfossil is deal until/unless someone wants to take it over

[fossil-users] Action-based automation and scripting
Hi there, Is it possible for Fossil to run scripts when performing operations like creating new repositories, importing, exporting, committing etc? I'm guessing there will be somewhere, since sometimes people want to have an automated commit build, mail announcements and the likes, without having to manually edit and rebuild Fossil to make it work like that. I just can't seem to find it documented. Also, like Git has LibGit for managing repositories, does Fossil have such a library? I know someone was working on LibFossil - does this give total access or is it still a work in progress? Cheers.
