Re: [fossil-users] meld-support
I love meld, but note that fedora 13 14 are currently at v 1.3 Not a problem, but they don't appear to recognize the 4th argument. //Bill On 03/08/2011 02:26 PM, Jan Danielsson wrote: On 03/08/11 19:12, Richard Hipp wrote: [---] When merging with many conflicts I find meld to be of invaluable help, though I noticed that meld is missing explicit fossil-support. Is meld more than just a visual 3-way merge tool, like xxdiff or kdiff3? It's mostly a diff/merge-tool (file and directories). But in addition it has some basic interfaces to VCS's. The GUI allows one to revert files, commit files, etc. I don't use those features very frequently, but sometimes it's convenient to have them there when I'm anyway sorting through diffs in meld. Can meld be plugged into Fossil using the gmerge-command setting? Yes, I just tried it, and it works fine. Could someone add this to the list of examples for gmerge-command at http://www.fossil-scm.org/fossil/help/setting: meld %baseline %original %merge %output .. ? Caveats: - The meld --help stipulates that there's an -o or --output to specify output file, but it it appears to be a nop. (Though perhaps I'm misunderstanding how it's supposed to work). Simply passing %output as a fourth argument seems to do the trick. (I used meld HEAD (cloned from their git yesterday) for these tests). - Some Random Web Page stipulates that meld version 1.4 or later is required for the output argument. ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
Re: [fossil-users] Fossil for Android?
Timothy, A very interesting exercise to be sure, but it begs the question: why? i.e. Did you have a particular use in mind? //Bill On 02/27/2011 01:52 PM, Mike Meyer wrote: On Sat, 26 Feb 2011 20:53:11 -0800 (PST) Timothy Brownjavelin...@yahoo.com wrote: For your consideration, How hard would it be to build Fossil for Android? For that matter how hard would it be to get Fossil built for iOS? Since both are Unix variants, it shouldn't be to bad. The makemake script already has two compilers wired in - one for building the build tools, and one for building the cross-compiled binary. That doesn't set TCC in the Makefile, but that's an easy fix. For android, it took about three hours to get it to compile starting from scratch (literally - I had to locate and download the appropriate development kits). The hard part was figuring out the correct thing to set LDFLAGS in the Makefile to for the cross-compilation environment to get a complete link. Doesn't appear to be working very well - but I'm not an android developer, so that's not really surprising. iOS is probably easier - if you're happy using the jailbroken dev tools. Using Apple's tools may be a bit harder. mike ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

Re: [fossil-users] No Client GUI for fossil
Stephen, here is a built-in web interface. If you have an open repository i.e. fossil open myProject.fossil then run fossil with the ui command: fossil ui fossil will run a webserver providing gui access to the currently opened repository and it will start your browser pointing to http://localhost:8080 (or some previously unused port). There were a couple of additional answers to the website that explained better than my answer. //Bill On 06/30/2010 01:16 PM, Stephen De Gabrielle wrote: Hi, I just posted a stackoverflow answer to the question: QUESTION Are there any GUIs for fossil?

Nor are there Windows Explorer or Finder extensions or IDE extensions for eclipse, emacs or the Microsoft/Apple tool chains that I can find.

Re: [fossil-users] The case for Markdown (yes, I rtfm)
One thought that I had was to enable feeding wiki pages through a TCP pipe so that they could be post-processed. That would enable storing the pages in the wiki and rendering the wiki pages completely could be done on any platform that supports a web server. Any wiki markup can be supported and then fossil itself is not dependent on another library. If you don't want to use the extra markup, then don't. If you really feel the need for Markdown, Creole, etc, then it is available. just my 0.02 //Bill On 11/29/2009 06:44 AM, Eric wrote: The number of mails about this just proves that there is no right choice for a new wiki markup. There are plenty of lightweight markup formats out there (with their own enthusiastic followers) that haven't even been mentioned here yet. If you want to do your project documentation a particular way, then do it that way - as project files. The other problem is introducing external dependencies for Fossil - have you noticed how few there are? My vote (somebody else mentioned votes!) is to leave the Fossil wiki alone (except for gradual improvement).
