Very recently fossil_getenv function was introduced as a wrapper
around standard getenv to get Unicode right.
In file.c:

/*
** Return the value of an environment variable as UTF8.
*/
char *fossil_getenv(const char *zName){
  char *zValue = getenv(zName);
#ifdef _WIN32
  if( zValue ) zValue = fossil_mbcs_to_utf8(zValue);
#endif
  return zValue;
}

In Unix it returns pointer pointing into actual environment (should
not be modified or deallocated). In Windows, on the other hand,
fossil_mbcs_to_utf8 allocates memory via sqlite3_malloc. This memory
is not and cannot not be freed because of UNIX behavior.
It results in memory leak on Windows. Should one care?

I think the general approach in fossil is to have short-lived processes, where
those kind of leaks that don't represent relevant memory usage be freed together
with the process end.

Not really. Fossil is often run as a web-server fossil ui or fossil
server and can live for months at a time. And preventing memory leaks
is a good software practice regardless.

No, one should not care.

Recall that the processing model for Fossil is that each invocation does
one operation then quits, allowing the operating system to clean up
afterwards.  (The OS is your garbage collector.)  It is important to free
memory that is allocated in a loop or that might be allocated multiple
times based on the size of your repository or the nature of your request.
However, for things like getenv() which are only called a small number of
times, a finite number of times, and which don't use much memory to begin
with, trying to keep track of when to free things merely increases the code
complexity and risks introducing new bugs.

Are TH1 and Tcl interpreters properly sand-boxed? Otherwise,
downloading and running random scripts found in some random repos does
not strike me as a sound security.

The only actions TH1 can take are to output text or HTML into designated
areas of a webpage. TH1 cannot change the repository, cannot write to the
disk, cannot open network connections, cannot read content from external
sources, cannot consume large amounts of memory, cannot loop, and cannot
call external programs or software. TH1 is not a serious threat for
malware.

TCL can do more mischief, but it is only enabled if you compile with
FOSSIL_ENABLE_TCL, which is off by default, and if you either set the tcl
property on your repository or have the TH1_ENABLE_TCL environment variable
set.

Moving forward, I think I'll make further security enhancements along the
following lines:

(1) Disable the TH1_ENABLE_TCL environment variable. TCL script
capability is only available if you enable it using the tcl property of
the repository.

(2) Default the tcl property to off on a clone, even if it is on in the
parent repo.

(3) Provide extra setup screens that make it easier to audit scripts for
malware prior to enabling the tcl property. At the place where the tcl
property is enabled, include text warning users of the potential dangers
and provide buttons or links to places where the TCL script can be audited
for security.

(4) Scripts are only exchanged between repositories on a fossil clone
or fossil configuration pull/sync. For the latter, detailed warnings
about changes to scripts and recommendations to redo audits might be in
order.

(5) If any script changes as a result of fossil config pull then the
tcl property is automatically moved to off and the operator is
notified. The tcl property must be turned back on by a separate manual
step, that includes a warning to make sure the modified scripts are secure.

I thought the point of TH1 was that it prevented this type of thing, 
that's why it's used in reporting. If TH1 isn't a secure, minimal TCL 
that can generate reports and, presumably, might be expanded a bit to 
pull and display information on artifacts, then what is it?

Fossil launches a separate process to handle each HTTP request.  Always.
Even using the ui and server commands.

Re: [fossil-users] With jimtcl available can we have hooks that trigger tcl scripts stored in the db?

2012-02-16 Thread Nolan Darilek


Cool, I'd like to at least have the discussion about that, though.

What I'd like to see, if possible, is read-only access to the 
repository--access to the SELECT statement, for instance, and a way to 
iterate over the results and output them into the pages.


To anyone afraid that I'll be calling for full-blown CMS features next, 
I'll note that hooks and the ability to display arbitrary repository 
content are the only features I've missed after nearly two years of 
Fossil use. I'm using it quite happily for the http://spielproject.info 
pages, but I'd love to display the last 5-10 events on the front page to 
liven it up a bit. Events are how I announce releases. I could also see 
displaying timeline entries and such to show the X most recent commits 
on certain pages, etc.


Yeah, I know I can do this with Javascript, but that doesn't make the 
content searchable.


Thanks.

TH1 is secure by virtual of being minimalist.  It really doesn't do

is, I want to keep it that way so that it does not evolve into a 
security threat.  We want to keep the attack surface as small as 
possible.

[fossil-users] Seeing SBS between any checkins

Hello,

the /ci pages show a list of files changed between a checkin and its primary
parent. Including the possibility of SBS diffs, or unified diffs.

Can that be done between any checkins, following the kind of 'shortest path'
that a merge operation uses?

With SBS diffs, it would be great to see diffs between branches using the web 
UI.

Thank you,
Lluís.

I appreciate the security above all attitude. But if at some point in
the future scripting will be back on discussion table I would like to
introduce embedded language Lua  [1], [2]. It has some really unique
features that are greatly appreciated in embedded scripting world.
Here just few of them:

(1) Implemented in ANSI C-89 with no external dependencies, highly
portable. Small code base (15 KLOC)

(2) Designed as embedded language from get go. Great configurable  sand-boxing

(3) Very easy to interface to existing C-code. Lua can call
C-functions and can be called from C-functions.

(4) Very fast (faster than TCL, python, ruby, perl). For real CPU
addicts there is Just-In-Time compiler LuaJIT which delivers Java-6
like performance on average and sometimes comes close to C.

(5) Simple syntax, powerful semantics.

I think on version 1.21 you can substitute detail=1 in place of sbs=1

Are you able to compile Fossil from sources?  Can you try out the
following patch and let me know if it clears your problem?



I'm reasonably confident that the patch below will work, so I went ahead
and implemented it for every use of getenv() in Fossil.  The checkin is
here:  http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/ci/57152086b8?sbs=1

Users of Fossil with non-latin character sets on Windows:  Please check  
out

this change for me and let me know if it is working for you.  Thanks.


This does seem to fix it. Thanks for the prompt response.

Roman.

[fossil-users] web page icon propagation

At first it appeared that push/pull was propagating the project icon. Then it 
looked like it was not, so I started adding it manually. Then I realized that 
was just browser silliness. Now I'm back to not seeing it working. Would 
someone tell me if this is suppose to work, since I have confused my self 
senseless.

 Ah, well, that's fine for personal work. I meant a bit how to do private
 collaborative work over a public fossil base. Sorry that I did not state all I
 had in mind clear enough.

So you want to have a restricted branch that is shared between a
subset of the developers?

You could setup a second shared repository and only allow access to
the select group, Then have a script that sets your group branch
private, pushes to the public repository, then unsets the private

Re: [fossil-users] web page icon propagation

The skin (including the project icon) is not versioned.  It is consider
server-specific metadata.  The skin is copied when you clone.  You can all
move move it using:

 fossil configure pull
 fossil configure push skin

It is often necessary to press Reload on your browser after changing the
icon, especially on Chrome, before you will see the change.

With SBS diffs, it would be great to see diffs between branches using
the
web UI.
http://yourdomain/fossil/vdiff?from=VERSION1to=VERSION2sbs=1

example:

http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/vdiff?from=releaseto=trunksbs=1

Ah great.

It does not work in our 1.21 though. It only shows the files modified,
without
diff. I'll either wait the next release or try trunk.

I think on version 1.21 you can substitute detail=1 in place of sbs=1
and see in-line diffs.

Ah ok - nevertheless I updated to the trunk tip already!

So some comments (or requests) on vdiff at trunk:
Now there is no detail=0, right? Seeing only the list of files is also
interesting.

I tried to=tai (a branch we have, not closed), and it says Artifact tai is
not a checkin.. Other branches we tried work fine.

Could it be made so vdiff understood 'to=ckout'? :)

And... what do you suggest to see the amount of changes done in a branch since
the last merge? I'm still always using fossil test-find-pivot trunk branch,
and then displaying the diff between the pivot and the branch. I'd welcome some
easy interface for these kind of diffs I'm doing often.

For example, I'd appreciate something similar to from=trunkto=annotate_links,
but showing what does annotate_links have related to trunk.
But as annotate_links is not up to date with trunk, I have to run:
$ fossil test-find-pivot trunk annotate_links
pivot=c80ee413ab77fb46b01c68ea82e2ad9a9446cc76
http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/vdiff?from=c80ee413ab77fb46b01c68ea82e2ad9a9446cc76to=annotate_links

(I've been very surprised on the horizontal diff, btw! Very nice)

Thank you,
Lluís.

User accounts are part of metadata.  If you edit user accounts locally and
then do a config pull it keeps the most recent change.

Other metadata that config pull might sync (assuming you have appropriate
permissions) include:

*  The ticket configuration (what fields are on tickets, and the ticket
entry and editing screens)
*  The list of shunned artifacts
*  Ticket report formats
*  Concealed user names.

Concealed usernames are typically email addresses that you do not want to
be available for harvesting by spammers, and so are stored in the tickets
themselves as a SHA1 hash.  The Concealed table maps those hashes back to
the original names, so that authorized users can see the original email
address.  Anonymous can only access the SHA1 hash.

It can't be told just to return the timestamp because the JSON API
inputs/outputs _only_ JSON (even in CLI mode). However... with just a bit
of jquery (or similar) you could do something like add a script tag to your
page header with something along the lines of:

jQuery(function($){
$.ajax('/json/wiki', {
   data:{ name: 'PageName' },
   success: function(data){
   ...data might be a JSON string or a JSON object,
  depending on other ajax() options...
 });
});

(i'm going from memory there - those ajax() options might have different
names/signatures.)

In the success() callback, fish out data.payload.timestamp value and render
the information somewhere in your page. To make this work optimally you
might have to enable full HTML in your wiki so that you can easily place
HTML elements which can be used for output placement. e.g add span
id='wiki-page-timestamp'/ and fetch it with $('#wiki-page-timestamp') in
the AJAX callback.

The JSON API also supports JSONP responses. Just add the
jsonp=callback_name parameter to your request, e.g.:

stephan@tiny ~/cvs/fossil/whio $ f json wiki get whio_rc -jsonp MyCallback
| head -2
MyCallback({
fossil:4272d03e324ea05ea7dfad67e2d481e6db003864,

All that having been said, you've inadvertently pointed out the need for a
verbose wiki-list command which returns a list of all pages plus their
metadata details (e.g. size, uuid, timestamp), but without the content
(which can be arbitrarily large). i originally skimped on that feature
because the HTML interface doesn't show that info (and i was copy/pasting
most of the queries from the HTML code).

Doh, i almost forgot a recently-added feature... try:

http://.../json/wiki/get/PAGENAME?format=none
Or:
fossil wiki get PAGENAME -format none

that will return a given page's metadata without its content:

{
fossil:4272d03e324ea05ea7dfad67e2d481e6db003864,
timestamp:1329415928,
command:wiki/get,

It's easy actually. The full command is configuration, to which all of
conf, config and even configur are valid prefixes/abbreviations. The
command is not called configure, instead that's either some over-eager
email software word completion while typing or simply a typo. Use fossil
configuration, fossil config, fossil conf, whatever rocks your cradle. No
special build flags necessary.

For what it's worth, I was working on limited branch syncing awhile back.

I never got around to merging it back into the master fossil repo, but, I think 
at least your use case is functional..

http://code.linuxfood.net/pub/repo/fossil-limsync

I really ought to finish that up and push it into the master fossil repo.

From memory, the push and pull commands now have a --branch flag (which may 
appear multiple times), so you can push/pull only individual branches. The sync 
command may also have it. Cloning a limited set of branches never got finished, 
unfortunately.
I could clean up the code and remove all of the work in progress for 
implementing it for clone, just to get at least push/pull out the door. I think 
that would probably cover quite a few use cases.

 win\Makefile.mingw' to compile fossil. I tried with adding that flag,
 but the option is rejected. I did not find such flag in that
 Makefile.mingw that I could uncomment neither. Could someone point
 me in
 the right direction to solve this please?


 As the Germans say: Good question! Next question?


 As a workaround, please try:

 # make -f ... CFLAGS=-DFOSSIL_ENABLE_JSON

 :-?

Thanks Stephan. Should adding 'FOSSIL_ENABLE_JSON = 1' to my
Makefile.mingw work too (I'm a makefile noob ...) ?

No compilation rejection anymore, but 'fossil json ...' still does not
work. Need some external json lib to link with maybe ? I didn't find
anything about json in the Fossil compilation docs.

It doesn't look like that's a known makefile option (it might be worth
adding, though):

stephan@tiny ~/cvs/fossil/fossil $ grep FOSSIL_ENABLE_JSON win/Makefile.*
stephan@tiny ~/cvs/fossil/fossil $


but what you can do is add this line to your makefile:

CPPFLAGS += -DFOSSIL_ENABLE_JSON

(instead of CFLAGS like i said earlier)

No compilation rejection anymore, but 'fossil json ...' still does not
 work.


What does it say? Are you sure you're running the newly-compiled binary and
not your old/installed one? Did you do a 'make clean' before trying it (if
you don't, it won't really rebuild anything).

That's probably because those doing the documenting live on Unix-like
platforms where './configure --help' works ;).

Re: [fossil-users] With jimtcl available can we have hooks that trigger tcl scripts stored in the db?

 What I'd like to see, if possible, is read-only access to the

 iterate over the results and output them into the pages.
 
 To anyone afraid that I'll be calling for full-blown CMS features next, I'll 
 note that hooks and the ability to display arbitrary repository content are 
 the only features I've missed after nearly two years of Fossil use. I'm using 
 it quite happily for the http://spielproject.info pages, but I'd love to 
 display the last 5-10 events on the front page to liven it up a bit. Events 
 are how I announce releases. I could also see displaying timeline entries and 
 such to show the X most recent commits on certain pages, etc.
 
 Yeah, I know I can do this with Javascript, but that doesn't make the content 
 searchable.
 
 Thanks.

FWIW, you could turn a Jim Tcl interpreter into a safe interpreter by 
removing a handful
of commands from the interpreter, such as: readdir, open, exec, source, cd, file

To be most useful, read-only access to the fossil db (with some restrictions?) 
would also be required.

Of course, Jim Tcl were used for hook scripts, this interpreter would need to 
be non-safe to be useful.

Cheers,
Steve

 I was once open to this kind of thing.  But since the security risks have

 I thought the point of TH1 was that it prevented this type of thing, that's 
 why it's used in reporting. If TH1 isn't a secure, minimal TCL that can 
 generate reports and, presumably, might be expanded a bit to pull and 
 display information on artifacts, then what is it?
 
 TH1 is secure by virtual of being minimalist.  It really doesn't do much 
 beyond simple variable substitution and if-then-else.  The point is, I want 
 to keep it that way so that it does not evolve into a security threat.  We 
 want to keep the attack surface as small as possible.

[fossil-users] Building fossil on Solaris

2012-02-16 Thread Jan Danielsson

Hello,

   I've built fossil on Solaris previously using the old Makefile
(requiring only very minor changes), but Makefile.classic seems to have
degenerated a little, so I thought I'd try to use configure et al),
but I end up with this:

   $ mkdir build
   $ cd build
   $ ../configure
   Error: No auto.def found in [...]/fossil/build
   Try: 'autosetup --help' for options
   $ ls -l
   total 0

   configure --help led me to try:
   $ ../configure --init
   I don't see configure, so I will create it.
   I don't see auto.def, so I will create a default one.
   Note: I don't see Makefile.in. You will probably need to create one.
   $ ls
   auto.def   configure

   The system is (correctly) being identified as:
   Host System...sparc-sun-solaris2.9
   Build System...sparc-sun-solaris2.9


   Which are the usual suspects when Makefile.in doesn't get created?

Kind regards,
Jan Danielsson

Thanks for the report. I'll take a look at why out-of-tree build doesn't work 
on Solaris.
In the meantime, you can try an in-tree build. Just run ./configure from the
source directory.

Cheers,
Steve

Looks like more problems with unexported shell variables.

Can you edit the file configure so it looks like this:

#!/bin/sh
dir=`dirname $0`/autosetup
WRAPPER=$0; export WRAPPER
exec `$dir/find-tclsh` $dir/autosetup $@

And let me know if that solves the problem?

Cheers,
Steve

   Ah, yes. Good ol' Solaris /bin/sh.

   That was it. I can't believe I missed that; I have been bitten by
that particular limitation of Solaris' /bin/sh a few times before.

   (Yes, I know Solaris technically does it right, and I respect that,
but it's getting a little old running into this problem every five-six
months or so).

   Thanks!

No problem. I've pushed the fix into autosetup and updated autosetup
on a branch, so perhaps Richard will merge this fix at some point.

The crazy thing is that Solaris has a Posix shell (as opposed to Bourne shell),
but it's not /bin/sh, so it's too hard to use it for this sort of bootstrapping.

Cheers,
Steve

We have this fix checked-in and running on a Solaris Sparc blade here:

 http://sparc.sqlite.org/fossil-src/fdiff?v1=ec171bb9e14v2=06277810ab75

The change was about a week ago.  So any of the latest versions of Fossil
should have it.  I also see that Steve has now checked in the latest
autosetup that contains a lot of other enhancements besides this one fix.
