Hi, all,
Here's a random status update on libfossil, for those interested...
- We recently got APIs in place to implement features similar to fossil's
add/remove/status commands, and i have been using those replacements daily
in my repos for at least week with no problems.
- The lib can now create a ZIP file of a given repo version's content
(analog to fossil's "zip" command).
- Today's milestone is a surprisingly small[1] function called
fsl_repo_extract(), which extracts the contents for a given checkin version
and streams it (one file at a time) back to the caller in a form he can use
to store it in a file, put it in a ZIP/tar, send it via email, or whatever.
That will be the basis of the up-coming checkout support, but solving
checkouts at the library level first requires figuring out how to allow for
user-level interaction ("overwrite file? Yes/All/No/Cancel?") for each file
(like fossil does) while still hiding the gory fetching/looping details
from the application. A prototype is in place, but is as yet untested.
For the adventurous ones, several of the library's growing collection of
CLI tools (i.e. test apps) are feature-complete enough for everyday use.
