[fossil-users] Extending Fossil with Lua?

[Offray Vladimir Luna Cárdenas]

Hi,

This is just kind of a next semester project, but I would like to start
exploring the options.

I'm using Fossil mainly to store documentation (using the superb
embedded documentation feature) for my Grafoscopio[1] project. I think
that SQLite and Fossil are good examples of what I call pocket
infrastructures (simple, self-contained and working well on-line and
off-line) that can help to democratize fields like data visualization
and storytelling[2]. But, despite its advantages, Fossil is starting to
feel limited, particularly with the Yaml metadata blocks that the Pandoc
Markdown variant uses[3]. So I would like to explore the possibility to
use Lua (which is already integrated in Pandoc and easily integrable in
other programs) to read such metadata y show it in a proper way. I also
think that the support for Lua should open a lot of scriptability
options and ecosystem, far beyond TH1 and Tcl, by using a more wide
spread scripting language with a bigger ecosystem.

[2] http://mutabit.com/offray/blog/en/entry/panama-papers-1
[3] https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-yaml_metadata_block

What should be done to explore such Lua extensions to Fossil? Where can
I start?

Thanks,

Offray

It's only 50K so yes, it's harmless. I was just wondering if there was 
an easy way to clean it up.

Well, it is suppose to clean up automatically.  I'm sorry it is not
working for you.  Also, it is suppose to do case-insensitive
comparisons on Windows.

Maybe one of the windows developers can track this down and fix it for you.

But it seems like a relatively harmless issue.  How bit is your _fossil file?

That did not seem to do much (if anything). There are still records for 
repositories that no longer exist. In addition -- this is windows: 
fossil is recording repository path names where only the alphabetic case 
differs (my lazy typing) but, of course, they all refer to the same file.

[fossil-users] Any way to cleanup global _fossil or .fossil?

[The Tick]

I noticed that my AppData/Local/_fossil file is growing. Using sqlite3 
on that file shows a bunch of items that are no longer valid.


I assume this is because I've deleted a lot of temp repository checkouts 
without remembering to do a 'fossil close'.


The sqlite3 'select * from global_config' list also shows what appear to 
be a bunch of duplicates.


It also shows the certificate from chiselapp.com which I guess I want to 
keep.


So is there a way to cleanup obsolete entries but leave valid ones?

A related sidebar: fossil doesn't actually store the creation- or
modification times of files. The only timestamps it remembers are when
changes are made to the repository (a checkin, wiki/ticket edit, new tag
applied to a commit, etc.). When fossil tells you the age of a file,
it's really showing you the timestamp of the commit which most recently
modified that file.



I see. I was mistakenly under the impression that fossil would preserve 
the timestamps on a checkout so that 'make' would work correctly. I 
didn't think about the fact that one does not store the intermediate or 
targets of a build in the repository -- one builds from scratch and when 
a product is shelved for a while, one just does a final commit, closes 
the repository and deletes the checkout.


That clears things up. Thanks.

Not at the moment.  Easy enough to add, though.  Do you have a patch?  ;-)

I took a look and it is far beyond my ability to add. Thanks for your 
answer though.

Is there a was to get a "ls -l" style list of the files in a repository 
from the web interface? I see "Tree-View" or "File Ages" but the listing 
of "ages" seems to be relative to the last commit time. For instance, a

shows file ages in minutes rather than months.

[fossil-users] Transcluding document fragments in the wiki?

[Tim Chase]

Is there a way to transclude wiki fragments, whole wiki pages, or
repository artifacts inside other wiki documents?  Something like the
following imaginary syntax:

  *Make sure your config file looks like this*

  [include_file:src/config_sample.ini]

  and make sure to [include_wiki:Setup Instructions]

where it would bring in a file or wiki page into the current wiki
document?

Thanks!
