I'm asking because Debian is planning to release Fossil with squeeze, and this doesn't make sense if the client needs constant code changes to stay interoperable with other people's repositories. No. It was a mistake that it occurred this time. And probably soon I'll fix the server so that it works with both old and new clients. The change was that the server is now a little stricter about login credentials. If the password is not correct, it complains and refuses to do anything. Before the change, the server would continue running with the permissions of the special user nobody. Meanwhile, older clients are sending (bogus) login credentials even if the user doesn't specify any. (That has also been fixed.) The combination of these two issues results in older clients not being able to clone from newer servers. I can probably come up with a hack to the server-side that allows older clients to work. But it seems like a relatively minor problem, so I haven't put much effort into that yet. (This is a bit like changing the on-disk file format for SQLite. 8-) The Fossil file format is unchanged.

Thanks. I ended up using anonymous login on the web site to grab a zip file of the sources matching the version running the web site and built that and then I was able to clone just fine.

I made some changes to the way the sync server works - it is much stricter about logins now. If the userid/password is wrong, it aborts straightaway, whereas before it would continue running, but with the privileges of user nobody. This is OK with the corresponding version of the client, since the latest client code doesn't even attempt to login if no login credentials are provided. However, the old client tries to login even if not credentials are given. So this doesn't work well with the new server. Oops. I'll work on a fix. Please try again in a few hours D.

With the new client, you don't need to include the password in the URL of a sync. Instead of: fossil sync http://userid:passw...@example.com/ You just include the userid, like this: fossil sync http://use...@example.com/ And it prompts you for the password. So people looking over your shoulder can't see your password. And if you enter the wrong password, it tells you and asks again. Or if your password changes and you do just: fossil sync It will prompt you to enter a new password (which it of course remembers for the next sync...) So, I didn't break stuff arbitrarily. I really am trying to make things better. Thanks for your patience. D.
