Re: [fossil-users] Unversioned files.

My use case is similar to what Adam describes. I already wrote a mail about this some time ago, but as I was absent last month, I couldn’t look at this feature in more detail until now. To reiterate, we use Fossil for collaborative paper writing. There are a lot of supplementary data that is

[fossil-users] Fossil does not generate https link prefix

2015-11-04 Thread Taras Zakharko
Dear all, I am serving repositories on our internal server via the Fossil GCI mechanism behind Apache2 with SSL. The system is OS X. Everything was running perfectly, but today I have updated the OS X Server app to the new version and while everything is still running, Fossil now fails to

Re: [fossil-users] Fossil CGI mystery: crashing at repositories

2014-11-04 Thread Taras Zakharko
Ok, I have tried to track it down a little bit. I looked around in the code and found the ‘debug’ option hidden within the CGI server. The binary crashes because the cgi_parameter() is called with NULL from the login_check_credentials(). This appears to happen because the login_cookie_name()

Yep, this seems to work just fine. Thanks! From: Richard Hipp I do not understand the underlying cause of your problem. But the latest check-in might fix it. ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org

[fossil-users] Fossil CGI mystery: crashing at repositories

2014-11-03 Thread Taras Zakharko
Dear all, I am hosting the Fossil repositories on our server via the CGI scripts (as described in fossil documentation). Every repository has its own CGI script (for cosmetic reasons). When creating a new repository and subsequently trying to access it via CGI, I get a crash in fossil. The

2014-11-03 Thread Taras Zakharko
It shouldn't be crashing. But I don't have any idea what the problem is. Which version of Fossil are you running? Can you recompile using -g so that we get better information in the crash log? This is the trunk [de17e35bf1] on OS X 10.10, using Apache/2.3.9 I am sure that the binary was

[fossil-users] Feature: merge-command

2014-10-21 Thread Taras Zakharko
Dear all, Fossil’s built-in merge works very well, but for our workflows (academic writing), it would be very useful to merge all differences manually (i.e., every difference should be treated as a merge conflict). This allows the PIs to keep a clear overview of all the changes and make sure

Thanks for the comments! I will submit the Contributor’s Agreement ASAP. I was not aware that the development list existed, and now that I have registered there, please feel free to move the conversation to it. I am not very comfortable about mailing lists because its not a tool I use a lot,

[fossil-users] Option to always use an external merge tool (merge-command)

2014-07-01 Thread Taras Zakharko
Dear all,   if I understand it correctly, when merging files fossil tries to use its own algorithm (the src/merge3.c/blob_merge() function) as good as it can, and attempts to fall back to an external merge tool (defined by gmerge-command) if it is not happy with the result.   For our

2014-03-04 Thread Taras Zakharko
Dear all, I am currently looking into the possibility of using Fossil as our next SCM (we currently use Mercurial, and while it works, many things could be improved). The task is primarily collaborative paper writing in a research institute, most authors are non-programmers and thus want

Stephan, Matt, thank you for your quick answers! That depends on several factors, several of which another list member will hopefully detail for us, but what i can say is if you clone like this: fossil clone http://remoteUserName@server/... therepo.fsl then pull/push will use that

I have found the problem - seems that the fossil version installed on my mac was still 1.27 and the user name takeover has been added in 1.28. Now it works like a charm and I am very happy! Sorry for the noise and thanks again for the quick answers! — Taras On 04 Mar 2014, at 21:55 ,
