I'm not sure if it is the course of the problem but got = unsigned,
So when bio_read returns -1 got is a big number because by definition it 
cannot go below 0;

on my machine if i declare
 int l=-1;
size_t r = l;
printf(l = %d r = l = %zu\n,l,r);
l = -1  r =l = 18446744073709551615

N cannot go below 0 also  subtracting got in this case will only yield 0 
by coincidence.


the 3rd argument to bio_read is listed as an int on my machine int is 4 
bytes and size_t is 8 bytes
depending on input this can go wrong with sufficient values not fitting 
in a int .

e.g.

this fits in an int,  0x1000
this does not fits in an int, 0x1 e.g the int will be 0

changing ssl_receive to
 /*
 ** Receive content back from the SSL connection.
 */
 size_t ssl_receive(void *NotUsed, void *pContent, size_t N){
   ssize_t got;
   size_t total = 0;

 if( got=0 ) break;
 total += got;
 N -= got;
 pContent = (void*)((char*)pContent)[got];
   }
   return total;
 }

will yield better results (I hope) because I cannot test it I attached a 
unified patch.
I patched http_socket.c and http_ssl.c against the latest of the trunk. 
I wonder if it solves your problem?

No there isn't. I used the information from http://axTLS.sf.net to 
create the fossil interface.


on unix you can do make menuconfig and everything it provide can be 
selected.

The writer Cameron Rich is responsive when asked questions.

As to the protocol 
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_Layer_Security)

looking at ths table:

Protocol
version Website
support Security
SSL 2.0 27.4%   Insecure
SSL 3.0 99.7%   Depends on cipher and depends on patching with RFC 5746
TLS 1.0 99.3%   Depends on cipher
TLS 1.1 14.5%   Depends on cipher
TLS 1.2 17.0%   Depends on cipher

It seems not to be a problem

In testing I used
fossil clone https://fossil-scm.org/
and I cloned via my own internal Apache web server

I checked yesterday and you can build on windows with msc and cygwin. 
The documentation states that you always needs GnuMake (also under 
windows, The cygwin environment is used to build a config executable 
(make config or menuconfig But then you need the curses library). After 
that the config is started and you have your choice of build 
environment.


As I stated before my frustration came from setting up openss[hl] on 
windows and Solaris. Therefore I looked at this option.


Having read your question about team setup on freebsd, My recommendation 
is to go with ssh keys.

Much simpler provided that all you need/want is cmdline access.
With the standard ssh functionality you can get by. The only minor thing 
in that setup is that the log is not recording the user that did 
clone/sync/pull/push but the fossil owner. I quess that  is easy enough 
to fix. But do use forced commands otherwise people can gain access to 
the fossil account. If you so wish to prevent logins. Or prevent logins 
by using the shell /bin/nologin.


I have been looking at abusing  the current ssh where users are elevated 
to the highest user level within fossil. I found it surprisingly 
difficult to get the tunnels to setup and talk to the fossil process
I thought of socat but that is not something you pick of the net and use 
:-(.


If your ssh package is flawed  (You have a much bigger problem)
or an unauthorized person got a hold of a ssh key
or you have a rogue user
(in al 3 cases they have access to test-http) I assume(BUT CAN NOT 
PROVE) that it is possible to look at the fossil source and craft a 
package that could rearrange your setup over ssh. Why someone would want 
that is beyond me! (AGAIN it is very possible that I'm completely wrong 
here!)



Andy's patch will mean that you have to login into ssh and fossil. It 
means you have to administrate the users in fossil also. While in the 
standard the ssh key is enough.


If you have a separation of jobs with different capabilities in fossil 
and you want to enforce them you need andy's patch

Err . . . wait.  Is it not logging the *user*, or just the IP address?
What would it log in place of the actual authenticated Fossil user
account that initiated the sync?
The user in the current ssh functionality is not authenticated against 
fossil.
And in a single user setup that makes sense. In most cases a ssh key has 
a 1 on 1 relation
with the unix account. In which case having the ssh key is OK and login 
in to fossil is redundant.
And since you are the owner of that account. You already have the 
highest level
of capabilities. Logging the owner makes perfect sense because of this 1 
on 1 relationship


However If your going to break that relation by having n keys on 1 
account
then, I presume,  your doing something with fossil which wasn't 
designed.

One of the devs (Andy?) has been working on integrating ssh forced
commands with fossil so that ssh connections can use fossil's
authentication. i'm not sure what the status of that is, but from what
i've read it sounds like a promising solution.

It's not _entirely_ redundant - in some cases it changes how the
arguments are processed. Yes, there are inconsistencies there, but
some of the argument handling relies on one or the other approach.
When the app looks for a CLI flag, e.g. -R, fossil actually removes
that flag and its argument from the global argument list, which
changes the argument count, and many of the commands use logic like
if(g.argc==3){...}, so there non-obvious side effects when changing
whether a command expects -R or not. It the context of libfossil,
that's been one of the minor points on the list of things to consider,
and while i don't much care for inconsistency in software, i _think_
that i'll end up doing it similar to how it is done now. e.g. a clone
implies a -R (but normally in the form of a URL), and doesn't need a
flag. The commands you listed where -R is optional almost always
derive their repo db from the current checkout (which is why -R is not
required). i'm not sure why ui/server don't require -R, but instead
take their repo filename as a non-flag argument. Historical in nature,
i guess.

Well lets go the other way  a repo, if not in an checkout, must always 
be specified with -R.
and maybe if a -R repo is specified in a checkout the -R takes 
precedent.

[fossil-users] ssl implementation

[Rene]

I have been running fossil on 3 platforms windows, linux and solaris.
Setting up openssl can be a major hassle.
I have used axTLS (http://axtls.sf.net) to create an interface 
compatible src/http_ssl.c. (I still struggle with X509 certificates).


The reason I choose axTLS

1) BSD style licensing
2) Size the source tree is 3.2M. Which is the same size as zlib.
3) It has, an optional, https Server axhttps include in the source tree
4) It support out of the box Windows(cygwin, Microsoft), BSD, linux and 
Solaris

5) No dependencies on other libraries, only needs a c compiler to build.

Possible downsides are:
1) it only support TLSv1.0/1.1
2) Mingw is not supported. But you can do cygwin with option -mno_cygwin 
(I have been told :-).

3) I'm not sure if this is a downside
axTLS  has language bindings to a number of scripting languages but not 
TCL.


I have not (yet) integrated it in  the build tools.
Although I have been mucking around with http_${SSL_LIBRARY}.c.
That gave me the impression that adding this to the build system is 
fairly easy.


If this is of interest  I can add it on a branch.

If filename is not present, just run fossil http with the

The clever thing is that there is a special hgadmin repository that

[fossil-users] Ssh and multiple users on the same ssh account

[Rene]

I looked at  andy's patch, but I cannot make a definite conclusion
how it works when multiple users share one ssh account service 
(fossil).


For instance:

I have an ssh account renez@sunny with Repo x.
Andy comes along. I give him a key and an account on repo x. He clones 
to repo x2
(And here we have a problem if I removed clone from nobody and only 
andy and me are allowed to clone Then andy can only clone as renez. But 
this is minor. Because only trusted people can access the account so 
nobody  is still allowed to clone)


if Andy does a push to Repo x with fossil push 
ssh://renez@sunny/scm/x?fossil=bin/fossil


I expect/hope/dream that once fossil http starts a login card with 
Andy's name on it is sent to the server.
and not g.urlUser!. Because, for my intent and purposes, that would be 
wrong.




I do see a solution for this and the problem of cloning mentioned 
before. If I want to work with ssh account sharing then ssh forced  
commands and extra personal keys are, almost, mandatory.


lets view de url ssh://renez@sunny/scm/x with user key rsa-1024 as 
unlocking the transport mechanism.  But not unlocking  the repo.


Because the ssh key is personal so we would know it's Andy (or someone 
who stole his key) knocking on the door.
We start http with --override-user andy and asked for Andy's 
(fossil)password (Now that would be a surprise if his key was stolen)


Actually what is the sense of having a repo behind ssh If only one user 
can access it.

Your not going to give your key to other persons so they can clone?

Well it does make sense when the repo is placed in a shared directory.
and users who have an account on that machine can do their work.
(Actually that could be though to keep the repo save.
you would have to disallow user to bring there own fossil executable.
And the fossil executable should be build en md5 and sha1 by trusted 
person.
In this situation my idea could add an extra layer that they could only 
do fossil.)



I don't know if there is actually interest to have it work like that. 
Having written this email it only seems logical to use g.urlUser
I do think that the added functionality  can be done in such a way that 
it will transparent for the intended usage.
(because they will not have a force command on their own key. And even 
then they would let fossil slide by as legitimate usage)

Right now, the original behavior is preserved by default:

be
replaced with  simply issuing a remote  ``fossil http 
/tmp/test.fossil''

as I now do using the -h http option?

My vote  would be to remove  the original behavior, and  replace it 
with
simply running a  remote ``fossil http /tmp/test.fossil''  and not 
worry
about shell issues. But, that  does introduce one difference in 
behavior

on clones---because the ``fossil http'' command outputs a

Connection: close

header in the response, each interaction  during the clone will invoke 
a
new SSH  command. This isn't  necessarily a  problem for people  who 
are
using SSH keys, but you will be prompted for a password each time if 
you
aren't using a key.  This may not be so bad,  however, because I 
believe
autosync  already behaves  this way,  so really,  it's only  the 
cloning

operation that would change in behavior.

Perhaps a poll is in order.

Thanks for the feedback.

Folks,

As I  mentioned before, I've  been attempting some modifications  to 
the
fossil SSH URL handling. I'm at a  point where I could use some 
feedback

regarding the previous method for handling SSH.


  [snip]


I like the idea to have new ssh implementation that don't depend on
shell and to have capability to use ssh protocol without using 
accounts

with shell access. But I think there's still have some work and test
that need to be done on this implementation.

I tried your patch, I don't know if I'm missing something but it
doesn't work for me... I made a simple test in the same way I was 
using

ssh:// protocol before, without using SSH keys restrictions and I got
following results:

1- Some new line are missing when asking for password, so I'm
   typing password over the first line of sync status output.

   (I guess this is not a problem when using ssh keys
   but output should still be correct when using
   password)

2- Clone return with no warning or error right away with 0
   artifact sent and 0 artifact received and I end up with a
   empty fossil file and a fossil-journal file..

   (On OpenBSD 5.3 amd64)

Exact same command with non-patched fossil work.
On linux (arch) it works. Now if i lower my credentials i'm not allowed 
to write!


I had no problem typing the password. even if i botch my first one!

What is annoying is that all the interaction is done with the name of 
the user who has the ssh-account. like the log is

1   2013-06-30 13:36:03 renez

Number 2 is not true that came from zwart604 at ip xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx
Maybe make the force command

  command=/usr/local/bin/fossil http /tmp/test.fossil --user 
zwart604  --ip x.x.x.x  ssh-rsa


if you have given the key to one person then the key will identify the 
user
$SSH2_CLIENT, extract the IP address of the incoming client, which is 
the first (of three) value in the string.
Or fossil could pick that up form cards sent. or from the environment 
or from both

Why not a mode fossil ssh (which would be a special http)



What seems weird if I drop the access of zwart604 to g(Clone) i can 
still sync and enter new files Is that expected behaviour?

Yes, I dropt it from gjo to g.

I now dropped of the g and my windows repo still sync succesful with 
the master repo. Where zwart604 now has no permissions at all
see below the timeline the one at 20:49 is of zwart604 with no

If i'm not mistaken (and i might be - i'm not familiar with the
details of fossil's ssh bits), a user running over ssh has all
permissions (because that's what fossil uses when run in
non-server/CGI mode). If, however, fossil is using its HTTP server
over ssh (i don't know whether it does or not does, to be honest),
then it should be setting up the permissions properly for the user.
Based on my interpretation of your results, a user running over ssh
has all permissions, as for a local user. i  can't immediately say
whether that's expected or not.

Sorry, not very helpful :/.

On 2013-06-30 02:19, Andy Bradford wrote:

Hello,

Next hurdle.  SSL or SSH on Windows.

I just  discovered that fossil.exe  does not  have SSL support,  so 
that
kind of presents a hurdle. By the  way, it works nicely in a chroot 
with

stunnel and SSL client certificates on an OpenBSD server.

So, now on to SSH...

I'm trying to setup a force  command with ssh keys that restricts 
access

with that key to simply ``fossil http REPOSITORY''.

Is there  some trick I need  to tell the  client that it already  has 
an
open fossil http  server waiting to be used on  stdin/stdout and to 
just
start talking  HTTP? SSH will have  already taken care of  wiring up 
the
stdin/stdout  on the  server side,  so this  really just  seems to  be 
a

client side problem.

I setup a ForceCommand SSH key but  the client doesn't seem to know 
what

to do with it and crashes:

$ fossil ver
This is fossil version 1.26 [c9cb6e7293] 2013-06-18 21:09:23 UTC
$ fossil clone ssh://amb@localhost//tmp/test.fossil test.fossil

debug1: Entering interactive session.
debug1: Remote: Forced command.
debug1: Remote: Forced command.
...
debug1: Exit status 0
$ echo $?
141

As can be seen,  when my SSH key is used, it will  be forced into 
fossil
http  mode,  but  the  client  crashes.  Here  is  what  I  have  in  
my

authorized_keys:

$ grep fossil /home/amb/.ssh/authorized_keys
command=/home/amb/bin/fossil http /tmp/test.fossil ssh-rsa
B3NzaC1yc2EDAQABAAABAQDqKI393xubO69Rs+Y6fbnxDpAgX5kTe31qWepFyfu08wxNj5iX57vNIYFIcC7bwKW4EHMakuEIYr2eDzXl3e1pXLzteFESISaZkXrmspNIMRh4oW/3LqV+pGXfimA//YlmbJOMzEHerSCTi+QG0O6LNyvjlZgJmP8dJgc0ktzw6nAVcpdFxwoNa+tQJb+g7wLHGRCsl9uvf6rfdzXVUm/tAtD/TyPITU7Ni2q7aTm/m8YKsXDUif91UP9XUH8phwwEucQa3MagtIcmUKJzrkuwHT+rr2K/0W8vpjO3iq3g7ejONqaTfqEW2Rc5uydYsc1B5IjsmPm0bVkbB3B6ZBxF
amb

Is there any  way to tell the  local fossil client command  that it 
just
needs to start talking HTTP to  whatever file descriptor it has open 
for
SSH? Or,  is there  another mode that  fossil has that  will do  this? 
I

couldn't find it in the documentation.

By the way, SSH keys, and  just SSH with password authentication do 
work
for cloning, but I want to restrict the access that users make to 
simply
the fossil  command (no  shell access), but  if I just  use the  SSH 
key

without restricting the command, they gain full shell access.

Thanks,

Andy


One possibility seems to be to use the urlShell :

I want to understand the problem before I put in the fix.

To try to help better understand what is happening, I have added a new

fossil clone ssh://user@host/path/to/repo?shell=/bin/bash 
new.fossil


and that will cause Fossil to add the /bin/bash argument to the end 
of the ssh command.  Please note that you can also do
--sshtrace to get some interactive information on what the ssh command 
is doing.


Tell you users that they can only acces fossil with:
//user@host/path/to/repo?shell=/andy/sh

make the line in authorized hosts

command=/home/amb/bin/forcedcommand.sh

check in the script if the command is /andy/sh in SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND.
 If so exec /bin/sh, otherwise close the connection.

Look in SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND. probably this is always /bin/sh or 
something like that.

Maybe you can check on the ip number if its trusted and then you know.
If not echo back something like you this is me and I want to know who

If it's fossil it wil send you

[fossil-users] Using ssh forced command

[Rene]

I have a repository on a machine say sunny.
- I have a login account on sunny and my login is renez
- I have two persons, Joe and Deb, who want to use a repo of mine.
- We all work in a big network where only port 22, 80 and 443 are open.
- I don't have a web server running on sunny.
- Or a web server is running on on sunny but I'm not allowed to use it.

My problem is I only want Joe and Deb to access the repo.

if they give me there public key then they are allowed to log on to my 
account. Not what I want.

There is a ssh feature called forced command.

I generate two key pairs one for Deb and one for Joe with out a 
paraphrase and hand the private keys to them.


I prefix the public key in .ssh/authorized_keys with a command string 
like

  command=path/to/fossil http ssh-rsa KEY comment

Apparently no other command will be executed. (off course if you have 
shell escape in the

forced command then still everything can go wrong)

Here is the fantasy part:

They connect with the url ssh://renez@sunny/work/develop.fossil.
But we know that it is Joe or Deb  knocking on the door to get access 
to the repo,

because of the key used to identify them.

I could make the forced command in Joe's public key line:
  command=path/to/fossil http --ssh-user Joe ssh-rsa KEY comment

and fossil could check if it is running under forced command because 
the environment variable

$SSH_ORIGINAL_COMMAND is set with the command given.
This commit or whatever should be registered under Joe's credentials or 
refused if his credentials are to low.


note:
It is probably better to make the force command a wrapper script that 
checks if the send command

is indeed fossil being requested. If not then exit.

[fossil-users] compiling on solaris 10

[Rene]

I could not get the head to compile under solaris 10.
somehow (and this is also true for 1.24) autosetup is not capable to 
pickup my openssl config.


I can do from the command line pkg-config openssl --libs and get a 
correct answer.

but autosetup could not find it.

I used the makefile.classic   and had to move -lcrypto to the end of 
LIBS before it could link 1.24


Also under Mingw32 I could not get the head to compile.

If I find the time I try to make a more definite analysis (if that is 
needed. If I am only one with this  problem then ..).
I had estimated to be 1 hour tops for installing it on solaris and 
mingw. it took the better part of a day now!

Well, since no one else has answered publicly, I'll take a stab at
it. Fossil has been my goto SCM for over a year now. I use mercurial
for things I want to share publicly via GoogleCode (yes, I know about
chiselapp, but that's a different discussion). I've used git for
client projects for months at a time over the past couple of years,
including a week-long project this month. I also have years of
experience with subversion, perforce (I am, or was, a PCP), CVS, RCS
and a proprietary precursor to perforce.


Besides the fact that Fossil includes a wiki and a bug tracker, does
it offer features that would make it a better solution than the big
names?


I'd say no. The three are different enough to notice, but whether or
not the differences make them a better solution depends more on the
organization that's using them than about their fundamental
behavior. For example, the major difference is how they handle using
rebase to rewrite history. For git, it's a feature. Mercurial 
provides
it as an extension, but the community generally discourages it. 
Fossil

doesn't have it. None of these is universally right, but each is
right for some organization.

Aside from rebase, the major differences are in things external to
their behavior as a SCM, and those tend to be the ones that drive the
decision as to which one you want to use if you don't care about
rebase.

Fossil: it's strong points are the built-in wiki and ticket tracking
system, and that it's a single self-contained binary.  What sets it
apart as a DSCM is autosync mode and that you can have multiple work


from my recent experience , `autosync' seems to be _the_ feature 
making

the move to DVCS tolerable for some die-hard `svn' users.


spaces checked out of the same repository.  However, the fossil mail
list sees regular though infrequent issues with people who've 
stumbled
over a problem caused by them putting the fossil repo in a work 
space.


could you please elaborate on this? I came to fossil only very
recently  and, for now,
have decided to keep the repo in the checkout directory (just like
`hg',  say). if
I don't won't to have multiple checkouts from the same repo what's  
potentially

bad about this setup? what kind of problems do you have in mind?

j.



For a single user not having to push/pull merges between multiple 
work

spaces is a win, though you can do that if you want to.

For small teams, the self-contained binary means it users fewer
resources to deploy if you need a version not in the package manager
(or on a system without a package manager).

I don't know of anyone using it for a large team. I don't know of any
reason not to, except for the risk of being the first to try that.


the NetBSD example seems to indicate that fossil's has performance 
problems
for such projects with a massive code base. is this still the state of 
affairs?

not that this would matter for 99.9% of all projects.

j.



Mercurial: it's strong point is the plugin system. If you need it to
do something that's not in the base, there's a good chance there's a
plugin that does it. With no extensions, it's a good, vanilla DSCM
with a you can't change history philosophy, except for the
rollback command that lets you undo the last commit. I use
rollback to undo commits that didn't include the right set of
files. People regularly show up on the hg users mail list having
problems getting it to find the correct versions of all the parts
after doing an install or upgrade.

Git: I don't like git, because I think mutable history is anathema to
what a SCM should be. That said, it's strong point is it's
popularity. As a DSCM, what sets it apart is using rebase to rewrite
history, and the staging area. The staging area provides the kind of
brain fart protection you get from the hg rollback command. On 
the
other hand, I do an empty commit in git because I forgot to set up 
the

staging area far more often than I use the hg rollback command.

To me, in small projects (1 to 10 persons), the  biggest advance of 
fossil is the use of http, ssh and single binary.
If you are in a big company and you need to set up shop then port 80,22 
is most of the time open.
Asking for firewall changes can be a major problem. Getting access to 
the scm system can be a major problem to.


As to the BSD repositories. I don't think that they represent a normal 
development work flow.
But joerg's work has delivered, important, enhancements to fossil 
(syncing big repositories)

I'm glad he took the time to do that.
Better example might be TCL/Tk, sqlite,

I don't find wiki syntaxes really easy. Maybe a bit easier to type
than HTML but definitely not easy to read or remember, especially
since there are dozens of slightly (and not so slightly) different

Note there are JavaScript hacks for interpreting random wiki syntax

you can have markdown interpreted without any direct support in

Nice things are starting to heat up :-) let me throw some oil on the

I don't find any wiki syntaxes to be what you need. At one point they 
all fall short.
However writing html isn't my favourite therapy and there a wiki syntax 
can be handy.


I'm quite pleased as a wiki language takes 80% of my hands.

The advantage of this particular implementation is that it is C coded 
and that the license is compatible with fossil.

And with Nataschsa's extension it becomes workable.

I rather write

![class:centered_image](branch05.gif =485x177)\
figure 5

  {on a side note I would prefer this 
![class:centered_image,=485x177](branch05.gif)\
   because a pure markdown implementation would still get the 
link right only the description
   is strange. and in The above example a pure markdown will 
not get the link right}

then

centertable border=1 cellpadding=10 hspace=10 vspace=10
trtd align=center
img src=branch05.gif width=485 height=177br
Figure 5
/td/tr/table/center

But this could have been written like

table class=table_centered_imagetrtdimg src=branch05.gif 
width=485 eight=177brFigure 
5/td/tr/table


or maybe like
div class=centered_image img src=branch05.gif width=485 
eight=177brFigure 5/div


in general tag languages can get rather verbose!
But still the Markdown version ( and most wiki's), IMHO, is, slightly, 
better readable.


Your suggestion to use javascript to display wiki markup is possible.
and interesting

what do we do with the javascript library?
it is not part of your project which will deliver fantastic software 
without markdown.



So is it part of fossil?
If you clone the repo than you want the same kind of services as the 
original.

How can that be done in a consistent manor?
It gives me a headache to think that out.
Of course you don't want MarkDown but you want MarkUp. Stephen will say 
that you have to resort to JSON.

maybe that is the right answer.

On his site http://daringfireball.net/projects/markdown/ the markdown 
inventor says
 The idea is that a Markdown-formatted document should be 
publishable as-is, as plain text,
  without looking like it’s been marked up with tags or formatting 
instructions.

I think it looks awkward any way.

Re: [fossil-users] usability of in-project documentation

[Rene]

 stylistic-only header and content div which
implements the margin and possibly background in place of the body
element would work wonderfully.
Is there any chance that the in-repo doc serving is polished at least
to the point that it's usable by unsuspecting people
just browsing the
web without realizing this is in fact a fossil repository. As it is
the fossil served pages need to be used very carefully because they
are quite fragile compared to what you would expect from, say, static
directory structure served off apache.



What do you mean by fragile fossil served pages



I am not opposed to writing patches, and all these issues are quite
trivial but I am also aware that some patches are rotting in the
fossil tickets for years so I guess patches are not what gives you
fixed fossil. I can apply them locally but it does not help if I want
other people to be able to mirror my repo or use chiselapp, or
whatever. And I need to rebuild for every architecture myself since
whatever official packages exist will never get my local patches.



Hm, You are a bit of a sceptic. Even before you tried you are
convinced that you fail. Just fill in the developer form.
Send it to Richard. Even if your patches  won't get in the trunk.
 Then it still will be in the official repository. and you are welcome
 to update your branch. And everyone who clones the fossil
 repo get your branch. You could even make the better documentation
part of your repo As I said I have used docbook, lyx to generate
documentation from de Jim Schimpf book and put that in fossil.

[fossil-users] future of markdown

[Rene]

Well I have been playing with the markdown implementation at
http://fossil.instinctive.eu/fossil-scm and libsoldout.

My understanding is that the fossil markdown implementation is pure 
one.


I used the html renders which are included in libsoldout with several 
extensions enabled.


I recommend to include most if not all extensions. these are (copied 
verbatim from libsoldout readme.html)


libsoldout extension: PHP-Markdown-like tables

Tables are one of the few extensions that are quite difficult and/or 
hacky to implement using vanilla Markdown parser and a renderer. Thus a 
support has been introduced into the parser, using dedicated callbacks:


table_cell, which is called with the span-level contents of the 
cell;

table_row, which is called with data returned by table_cell;
table, which called with data returned by table_row.

The input format to describe tables is taken from PHP-Markdown, and 
looks like this:


header 1| header 2  | header 3  | header 4
|:-:|--:|:--
first line  |   centered| right-aligned | left-aligned
second line |   centered|:   centered  :| left-aligned
third line  |: left-aglined | right-aligned | right-aligned :
column-separator | don't need | to be | aligned in the source
| extra speratators | are allowed | at both ends | of the line |
| correct number of cell per row is not enforced |
| pipe characters can be embedded in cell text by escaping it: \| |


Discount-ish renderer

discount_html and discount_xhtml implement on top of the standard 
markdown some of the extensions found in Discount.


Actually, all Discount extensions that are not provided here cannot be 
easily implemented in libsoldout without touching to the parsing code, 
hence they do not belong strictly to the renderer realm. However some 
(maybe all, not sure about tables) extensions can be implemented fairly 
easily with libsoldout by using both a dedicated renderer and some 
preprocessing to make the extension look like something closer to the 
original markdown syntax.


Here is a list of all extensions included in these renderers:

image size specitication, by appending  =(width)x(height) to the 
link,

pseudo-protocols in links:
abbr:description for abbr title=description.../abbr
class:name for span class=name.../span
id:name for a id=name.../a
raw:text for verbatim unprocessed text inclusion
class blocks: blockquotes beginning with %class% will be rendered 
as a div of the given class(es).


Natasha's own extensions

nat_html and nat_xhtml implement on top of Discount extensions some 
things that I need to convert losslessly my existing HTML into extended 
markdown.


Here is a list of these extensions :

id attribute for headers, using the syntax id#Header text
class attribute for paragraphs, by putting class name(s) between 
parenthesis at the very beginning of the paragraph
ins and del spans, using respectively ++ and -- as delimiters 
(with emphasis-like restrictions, i.e. an opening delimiter cannot be 
followed by a whitespace, and a closing delimiter cannot be preceded by 
a whitespace).

plain span without attribute, using emphasis-like delimiter |

[fossil-users] Markdown question

[Rene]

So I converted all the embedded documentation to markdown and on a, 
cursory, inspection it looks the same.

I found one peculiar thing which is reported to Natacha.

I think I like it.

There are extensions to markdown syntax. but I'm not sure how they can 
be used. example


centertable border=1 cellpadding=10 hspace=10 vspace=10
trtd align=center
img src=branch05.gif width=485 height=177br
Figure 5
/td/tr/table/center

is translated in

  
  ![](branch05.gif)\
   Figure 5
  

I'm missing height and width here. In the soldout documentation it is 
mentioned that

Discount-ish renderer

discount_html and discount_xhtml implement on top of the standard 
markdown some of the extensions found in Discount.


image size specitication, by appending  =(width)x(height) to the 
link,

pseudo-protocols in links:
abbr:description for abbr title=description.../abbr
class:name for span class=name.../span
id:name for a id=name.../a
raw:text for verbatim unprocessed text inclusion
class blocks: blockquotes beginning with %class% will be rendered 
as a div of the given class(es).


Are these available?  If so what is the syntax I tried:
![](branch05.gif)=(485)x(177)\
![](branch05.gif =(485)x(177))\
![]=(485)x(177)(branch05.gif )\
![=(485)x(177)](branch05.gif )\


I like this feature because it is much less to specify and given that 
you can add class and id attributes CSS can be used for style.

If I only new how to use it :-)

Wiki pages

When I add markdown markup to a wiki-page e.g.
I add:   **rene de Zwart**
This  rendered as **rene de Zwart** .

What is the strategy with respect to wiki pages and the use of

So my point is only to remind you all that I'm still committed to

Currently the code is in a new branch off a clone of the official

There is also a live demo (dedicated repository served using a fossil
compiled off this branch) at
http://fossil.instinctive.eu/markdown-examples/doc/tip/README.mkd

What is done:
  + complete and seamless integration of the markdown engine into 
fossil

(e.g. using fossil blobs as dynamic buffers),
  + support of markdown embedded documentation (.markdown and .mkd
extensions), using current fossil style,
  + regular merge of latest changes from trunk.

What remains to do:
  + review my code to ensure it meets fossil level of quality,
  + format it using fossil code style if needed,
  + any other code change that comes up during the review.

I'm still willing to perform any maintenance needed on the markdown
library code and/or the glue between it and fossil, for as long as I
can. I would also gladly handle any knowledge-transfer needed to 
prevent
myself from being a single point of failure in the maintenance of

Are we going to move all the wikipages to markdown? I converted the 
attached file to markdown it wasn't to difficult with

bit of sed, awk and pandoc.
What do you see as an advantage of markdown compared to the current 
wiki syntax?


--
Reneadd

The often used `add` command is how you tell **fossil** to include a
(usually new) file in the repository.

**fossil** is designed to manage artifacts whose role is being source
for something, most probably software program code or other text. One
can imagine all kinds of ways to let fossil know just what constitutes a
source; the simplest and most direct way it *actually* finds out is when
you give it the ` fossil add path ` command.

It's reasonable to think of the [`import`](./cmd_import.wiki) and
[`clone`](./cmd_clone.wiki) commands as very high-powered versions of
the `add` command that are combined with system level file movement and
networking functions. Not particularly accurate, but reasonable.

Typing `fossil add myfile` causes fossil to put *myfile* into the
repository at the next `commit`provided you issue it from within the
source tree, of course.

By contrast, `fossil add mydirectory` will add ***all*** of the files in
*mydirectory*, and all of its sub-directories. In other words, adding a
directory will recursively add all of the directory's file system
descendants to the repository. This was an oft-requested feature,
recently implemented. It is very flexible. Only when you add a directory
do you get the recursive behavior. If you are globbing a subset of
files, you won't get the recursion.

Realize that the repository is not changed by the `add` command, but by
the `commit` command. `add` *myfile* tells **fossil** to mark *myfile*
as part of the repository. Only commands which actually manipulate the
content of the repository can physically put source artifacts into (or
remove them from) the repository.

Just to keep things symmetric, there are also commands that can
manipulate the repository without affecting the checked-out sources (see
[fossil pull](./cmd_pull.wiki), for instance.)

It's worthwhile reiterating that **fossil** is storing the content of
source artifacts and the names of the artifacts in their native
habitat, a sequence of temporal slices (aka versions) of the state
of the whole system, and a set of unique identifiers. When you add a
file to a repository, the *path* to the file is a part of the *name* of
the file. There is a mis-match between the file system's idea of a
directory (a file containing pointers to files) and fossil's idea (a
substring of the name of the artifact.) The names of the artifacts
specify their relative locations because of the way the file system
interprets them. If you don't keep this in mind, you may fool yourself
into thinking **fossil** somehow stores directories. It doesn't, and
believing it does will eventually confuse you.

import](./cmd_import.wiki), [fossil clone](./cmd_clone.wiki), [fossil

[fossil-users] asciidoc

[Rene]

One of the things I would like from the documentation is that it can be 
provide in other formats. I haven been playing with asciidoc and a 
utility called pandoc. A converter from many things to many things. HTML 
to asciidoc is one of the possibilities.


I converted 3 embedded documentation files tech_overview.wiki, 
delta_encoder_algorithm.wiki en delta_format.wiki and created a docbook 
manifest which looks like:


= Several documents combined
Joe Bloggs
v1.0, 12-Aug-03
:numbered:
:doctype: book

include::tech_overview.txt[]

include::delta_format.txt[]

include::delta_encoder_algorithm.txt[]



and a reasonable document was generated. Reasonable because
1) obvious the conversion wasn't 100 %
2) these documents were not made with an eye for book integration
3) Links were difficult to reproduce. I had to make them absolute 
referencing


I have been playing with lyx and docbook but those solutions are using 
extern generated docs and allow you to show them in fossil. This could 
work from the embedded html documentation.
Although one document had mixed html with wiki syntax and that caused 
some grief in the conversion. :-)


A goal for me is to have an updated lyx fossil manual in fossil and be 
able to use that to produce a pdf. I'll ponder a bit more about that.

Re: [fossil-users] Thoughts about the Custom Pages feature

[Rene]

On 2012-07-07 13:04, Gary_Gabriel wrote:

Hi Stephan and List,

 You posted some good ideas and took on the difficult job of 
beginning

the development spec. The Münich event addressed some of the points
you consider below. As you remember the event occasionally split into
groups and Richard took the time to discuss and clarify a few of the
points below in a small group.

 For 1). Another migration path that natively supports this method
is the source documentation method used by SQLite. As you know; 
SQLite
documentation is written in the c sources and Tcl scripts pull it 
into

the finished documentation form. These docs and scripts are available
on the docs respository. Generating source documentation would be an
alternative to 1). Richard was kind enough in one of these small
groups to outline the basics of this system. I noted the originating
files and could forward it if desired.


2) Custom pages serve output in one of the following forms:



If TH1 is not powerful enough for this case (i don't know if it is
or isn't, or if it is easy enough to extend), the next obvious
choice would be the TCL support (which is, AFAIK, still living in
its own branch?).


 For 2) Joe Mistachkin's previous answer in this thread simplifies
these considerations. According to the information given at the 
Munich

Event enabling Tcl will either enable the system Tcl or the
abbreviated, small footprint version Jim.
 Link: Jim Tcl Jim Home
http://jim.tcl.tk/index.html/doc/www/www/index.html [1] . These
options can provide the needed scripting support.

 Tcl also offers a possible alternative to jquery. tDom http
[2]://tdom.github.com/ contains XPath which queries the Dom and parse
Html. I also agree that Tcl use should be pursued.

[1] http://jim.tcl.tk/index.html/doc/www/www/index.html
[2] http://wiki.tcl.tk/http
What is essential to understand in the consideration between TCL and 
Jquery is that

  * TCl is a server side language
  * jQeury(javascript) is a client side (browser) language

I think it is
  * not a tcl or jquery(=javascript) question
  * more a tcl and jquery question
  * or you could go for javascript as server and client language,
well you could have if we started with that language.
  * going al the way with tcl(also on the client side) seems to fight
against the direction where most projects are moving to (e.g. more 
javascript).
It will be much effort to get tcl at a level where it can compete 
with javascript (facilities)

on the client side.

You could make a second cgi script that will do a checkout.
and after a commit
do http://yoursever/checkout.cgi

It has the added benefit that you can save your work from location 1.
Go to location 2 finalize the work and publish then.

debian ?? libc ??

As to size
Well static means include everything and the kitchen sink in the 
executable.

It tends to get bigger. Strip will remove quite a bit of symbols.
Don't use strip if you want to use a debugger.

Mine is 6.5M before strip. After strip 2.2M (64 bits)

If I compile against uclibc(=32 bits) I get 3.6M after strip 1.3M after

I am checking if I could get polarssl compiled with dmc.
And to see if it would work with fossil compiled with dmc (and if
that still worked!).

The polarssl library compiling wasn't much of a problem. Mainly
creating a makefile for gnu make and
in 2 places I had to change
#ifdef _WIN32
in
#if defined(_WIN32) || defined(__DMC__)
in order to get vsnprintf and family recognized.


Compiling fossil
I ran  into problems with winhttp.c because it uses
SERVICE_DESCRIPTION and dmc uses an old win32/winsvc.h
I copied winsvc.h from mingw and that worked.

Now I'm trying to compile sqlite3.c and ran into
  { AreFileApisANSI, (SYSCALL)AreFileApisANSI, 
0 },

   ^
 ..\src\sqlite3.c(32280) : Error: constant initializer 
expected

  pMap = osMapViewOfFile(hMap, FILE_MAP_WRITE | FILE_MAP_READ,
^
  ..\src\sqlite3.c(34886) : Error: ')' expected

And I'm totally lost. Anyone a clue?

Thanks


if I change the 2 offending lines like so:

#define osAreFileApisANSI ((BOOL(WINAPI*)(VOID))aSyscall[0].pCurrent)
#define osAreFileApisANSI ((BOOL(WINAPI*)(void))aSyscall[0].pCurrent)
#define osMapViewOfFile 
((LPVOID(WINAPI*)(HANDLE,DWORD,DWORD,DWORD,SIZE_T))aSyscall[47].pCurrent)
#define osMapViewOfFile 
((LPVOID(WINAPI*)(HANDLE,DWORD,DWORD,DWORD,DWORD))aSyscall[47].pCurrent)


then sqlite3.c compiles.
I'm do not understand why that works!

[fossil-users] Fossil thinks my configure script is binary

[Rene]

Fossil thinks my configure script is binary. This probably due
to one or more chars like ^H or something like that.

Is there a way to convince fossil that it is not binary?
And I don't want to change the configure script!

 Yes.  For example I store all of my presentation slides (odp files

 some binary files in the Fossil's self-hosting repository.  For
 example, the Fossil logo (a gif image) is stored in the repo:

 I have submitted a bug report on this issue. The 'tar' format has
 been extended over the years, and it's now a fairly interesting mess.
 File names over 100 bytes are split into two. Posix requires this to
 be done at a '/' (which you can delete). Fossil splits it anywhere,
 which confuses all the extraction utilities I've tried.

 If the splitting position is calculated correctly Fossil should be
 able to support file names that:

 - have = 256 characters.
 - have a slash no further than 100 characters from the end.
 - have a slash no further than 155 character from the beginning.
 - contain only ASCII characters if standard compliance is required.

 The 2001 Posix.1 standard defines extensions that can support any
 length of file name, encoded in UTF8, any size file (tar is otherwise
 limited to 8GB), and all kinds of other stuff. It's known as Pax
 Interchange Format. GNU and FreeBSD tar understand these extensions.
 The pax utility on Linux and FreeBSD does not implement it (beats
 me).

[fossil-users] added a javascript file on a branch and loading in the header works

[Rene]

I mucked around with javascript and fossil on a branch (owncheckout) in 
the
repo on http://chiselapp.com/user/renez/repository/cvs2scm/.

what surprised me is that the reference in the header to 
$home/doc/tip/ext/syn.js
works.

When by the browser asked for the file $home/doc/tip/ext/syn.js. How 
does fossil
choose ext/syn.js  when it is created on the branch owncheckout and on

 mxflex/gbo/app_po.inc   [diff]

The tar file contains 2 directories
   mxflex-186f4fdca41c087b(has 991 files)  xflex-186f4fdca41c087b(has 2

while the zip file contains only one directory
   mxflex-186f4fdca41c087b(has 993 files)

The tar file doesn't produce the release while the zip does.

It must be something specific for this repo because if I do a tarball

 While this could be useful, don't expect current Fossil developers to

 neither a package building tool, thus features dedicated to that are
 out of scope. And as there are not many frequent contributors, they'd
 better keep their focus on the things Fossil aims at.

 On the other hand, this is OSS. You can just go for it :)

 I'm not the one who build a small binary. You could try to:

 use ulibc http://www.uclibc.org/  (I'm not sure if fossil will
 compile/work)

 That's won't help. Either uClibc or glibc are going to be linked
 as shared libraries and the size indicated above excludes libc.

 use compression http://upx.sourceforge.net/

 We use squashfs (http://squashfs.sourceforge.net/) on many of our 
 systems.
 Using this approach, all your files, including binaries and shared 
 libraries
 will be compressed in flash. Better than compressing apps one at a 
 time.

 Steve

upx compression is the easiest and simplest and can give you instant

 newfossil ui myclone.fossl (works)

I earlier said to down grade to an older version of fossil.
Richard warns on

That it is not an option.

Did you do something like oldfossil reb repo? that would cause

take the latest fossil
do

if that fails

take the previous fossil and  do the same thing

one or both should work. Otherwise item 1 above never happened

 There is a little flaw in your reasoning - you forgot that it works
 with Midori
 browser (I didn't want to install Chromium to test.) So, e.g. Fossil 
 version
 [a2e1c48373] works with Midori here, but not with Firefox.

 The only problem is that my regular browser is FF and not Midori and 
 it's
 painful investigating what's wrong with Fossil  FF combo.

I installed firefox-4.0.1
I downloaded the latest fossil release compiled that

 Hello

 This is the first time I'm trying Fossil and I'm using the Windows
 version (d8221b9863 2011-05-12).

 I will be the only user, and the repository will be located on the
 same Windows host where the repository is saved.

 There are a few of questions to which I found no answer in the wiki:

 1. Should the repository be located at the very top of the directory
 tree where files will be added and commited?

 For instance, if the files I'll be adding/committing live below C:\,
 should the repository be C:\myrepo, or is it OK to locate it anywhere
 on the hard drive, eg. D:\whatever\lmyrepo?
The repository should not be in the  directory were you work!
e.g
mkdir c:\src\myproject
fossil new c:\src\gilles.fossil
cd c:\src\myproject
fossil open ../gilles.fossil


 2. Is it OK to have spaces in the path leading to the repo and the
 files, eg. C:\This is a directory\myrepo, and D:\This is where my
 files are\some file.txt?
The directories leading up to your repository or your check-out it 
doesn't matter much
But the file names and directories in you repo/checkout it is not 
recommended but possible.
You need to add  around the name.
You might get into trouble when issuing
fossil add *


 3. Is it possible _not_ to be prompted for a comment when committing 
 a
 file? I'd just like to type fossil commit, and be done with it.
fossil commit -m nocomment
not recommend though


 4. Is it possible to open the repository in a DOS box (C:\fossil.exe
 open c:\myrepo), and add/commit from a Windows application such as a
 text editor?
 When I tried this, I got this error: C:\fossil.exe: not within an
 open checkout
The editor  you used wasn't started in that directory.
open a dos box and cd into c:\src\myproject
start your editor


 I guess all the commands should be issued within the DOS box.
Depends if I would be using the editor vim I could issue
   :cd c:\myproject (make sure I'm in the checkout directory)
   :!c:\fossil.exe commit -m Nocomment


 Thank you.

[fossil-users] javascript and fossil

[Rene]

 fossil does not do anything with javascript libraries.
 I don't have a problem with that. :-)
 What is important to understand is that:
release  repository contents

 I mean you could add javascript libraries and modifications
 to the fossil header, footer, ticket, report. This won't jeopardise
 your software project. Because your release doesn't depend on
 the javascript enhancements to fossil.

 So you could build your fossil template repository which
 you could clone for every new project you start. and reap the
 benefits of your javascript enhancements
 (diff highlighting , source code highlighting, wiki editing)
 This is also be a great way to experience the influence of
 javascript and give recommendations for, more (or less), javascript in
 fossil.

 I do understand that some javascript enhancements are indirect
 because the body generation is buried in fossil. e.g
 for diff highlighting you need to work on the DOM after the
 page has been loaded.
 But if these enhancements become popular than it might migrate into 
 fossil

 Off course this clowning around with javascript might distract
 you from the real thing.
 Your software project

 Additionally, there [2] are [3] various [4] libraries [5] that can
 highlight code, and there is even a helpful tutorial  [6]on the

 I want to put those two together so that if you click on the line

 this?

 most simple is to adjust src/info.c to generate
 pre tittle='win/version.c' alt='c' class='fossilcat'
  span class='line' onclick='highlightline(this)'1  /*/span
  span class='line' onclick='highlightline(this)'2 ** This C 
 program exists to do the job that AWK would do for the unix/span

 /pre


 Ttitle would help you to identify the file (but could be inferred by 
 get the contents of a 
 href=/index.html/finfo?name=win/version.cwin/version.c/a)
 Alt would hint a the type of file (but could be inferred by get the 
 contents of a 
 href=/index.html/finfo?name=win/version.cwin/version.c/a)
 class fossilcat to do CSS styling

 off course this would require fossil to have a javascript function 
 highlightline which is unacceptable

 but if this was changed to
 span class='line'1  /*/span
 you could do some dom magic and add the function to every span.line 
 element when the page loads.


 if on page artiface then
 for every span in blockquote.pre.span do
span.onclick=highlight(this)


 However you could go the hard way :-)
 if page is artifact
   var el = document.getElementsByTagName('pre')
   s = el.innerHTML
   n = ''
   for every line in s do
 n += 'span onclick=highlight(this) '+line+'/span'

   el.innerHTML = n

[fossil-users] close last leave on a branch and it disappears

[Rene]

 Because of the discussion about many branches and using private 
 branches
 for development, I was experimenting (on a copy) and closed the leave 
 on the
 windowscompilers branch and the trunk. Instantly they disappear from 
 branches.
 For the windowscompilers branch I was glad, I was, initally, 
 disappointed
 in case of the trunk. Luckily you can do shun and the trunk is back 
 again.

 In the end the trunk is just an other branch, nothing special! So the
 behaviour is fine (with me).

 Richard, if you got the time and it fits with your philosophy then by 
 all
 means close the windowscompilers branch since it has fulfilled it's 
 purpose.
 At least one branch less to clutter the display!

 Hello,

 I've made a tiny simple diff highlighting for Fossil (well,
 technically, for any HTML page) in JavaScript, and thought I'd share
 it with you.

 Just put the following somewhere into Footer (not header!) above 
 /body:

 

 script
 /*  Simple diff highlighting */
 var DiffHighlighter = {

   isDiff : function(s){
 return (s.match(/^@@.*@@/m)  s.match(/^[+-]/m));
   },

   highlightElement : function(el){
 var s = el.innerHTML;
 if (!this.isDiff(s)){
   return;
 }
 el.className += 'diff';
 s = s.replace(, lt;);
 s = s.replace(/^\+.*$/mg, 'span class=diff-mark 
 added$/span');
 s = s.replace(/^\-.*$/mg, 'span class=diff-mark 
 removed$/span');
 s = s.replace(/^@@.*$/mg, 'span class=diff-mark 
 position$/span');
 s = pre + s + /pre; // workaround for IE
 el.innerHTML = s;
   },

   highlightElementsWithTagName : function(tagName){
 var els = document.getElementsByTagName(tagName);
 for (var i=0; i  els.length; i++){
   this.highlightElement(els[i]);
 }
   }
 };

 DiffHighlighter.highlightElementsWithTagName('pre');
 /script

 

 And add this (or something to your taste) to your CSS:

 

 .diff-mark {
   display: inline;
   color: #000;
 }

 .diff-mark.position {
   display:-moz-inline-stack;
   display:inline-block;
   zoom:1;
   *display:block;
   width: 100%;
   font-style: italic;
   padding: 0.5em 0;
   margin: 0.5em 0;
   border-top: 1px dotted #A2B5CD;
   border-bottom: 1px dotted #A2B5CD;
   color: #A2B5CD;
 }

 .diff-mark.added {
   background-color: #CEFBC3;
 }

 .diff-mark.removed {
   background-color: #F5C2C1;
 }

 

 That's it: the script will automatically detect diffs and color them.

 Awesome. The only downside is that onload will wait for images to

function init()
{
   th1if { fdiff eq $current_page || otherdiffed page eq 
 $current_page)
   puts DiffHighlighter.highlightElementsWithTagName('pre')/th1
}
 /script

 body onload='init()'

 This has the benefit that if someone else want to do something on load 
 he could
 add it in the init function.

 I did a egrep WEB.*diffon the files in the src directory and found

Re: [fossil-users] Automatic creation of file to wiki or embedded docs

 I found out that g.zExtra doesn't store the query string parameters  
 but the rest of the path after the page
 e.g. http://localhost:8080/doc/tip/www/index.wiki
 g.zExtra = tip/www/index.wiki


 I had a bit of fun  and made th1 fossil env get var command. (actual 
 looking into fossil cgi_parameters)



  and coded in the header
  if {[env get name]} {
puts  name=$name 
puts  current_page=$current_page 
  } else {
puts  No parameter
  }

 in de case of
 http://localhost:8080/finfo?name=win/version.c
 I got
 name=win/version.c current_page=finfo

 That did work and would make your idea possible. However my conclusion 
 is:
 I'm sorry to say but you cannot get at the QUERY_STRING or the 
 individual
 parameters of the request in TH1 (server-side processing).



 for the curious ( I probably  broke 101 rules in coding, not using 
 subcommand) the routine is
 /*

 Can anyone help with posting a TH1 snippet that would detect if a
 user was in a particular section - say the file-info page?

 It is important to understand that
 th1 is server-side processing
 javascript is client-side processing e.g. Your browser

 I checked and in style.c these are axported to TH 1:
   /* Generate the header up through the main menu */
   Th_Store(project_name, db_get(project-name,Unnamed Fossil 
 Project));
   Th_Store(title, zTitle);
   Th_Store(baseurl, g.zBaseURL);
   Th_Store(home, g.zTop);
   Th_Store(index_page, db_get(index-page,/home));
   Th_Store(current_page, g.zPath);
   Th_Store(manifest_version, MANIFEST_VERSION);
   Th_Store(manifest_date, MANIFEST_DATE);
   Th_Store(compiler_name, COMPILER_NAME);
   if( g.zLogin ){
 Th_Store(login, g.zLogin);
   }

 you can check if $current_page == finfo. But you miss the arguments to 
 finfo.



 in g(lobal) are these 3 defined
   char *zPath;/* Name of webpage being served */
   char *zExtra;   /* Extra path information past the webpage 
 name */
   char *zBaseURL; /* Full text of the URL being served */

 zExtra (I assume) contains the name=arg. But it isn't made available in 
 th1. So you cannot
 generate a link to the documentation.

 Bummer. You could ask if richard want to add something like:
   Th_Store(parameters, g.zExtra);

Re: [fossil-users] Automatic creation of file to wiki or embedded docs

 One think I'm missing in terms of usability is the ability to

 as said before you can do that with an [url|display] to the file of you 
 desire.


 It seems that this may be partly possible by creating your own custom
 header in the wiki page - but there is no equivalent for the file
 display page? basically I want to have two-way links between the
 source code file and  a root documentation page. Probably using the
 Embedded docs as then the docs and source code are versioned 
 together.
 You can link to the source code file. But the source code file cannot 
 link to the
 documentation. As said before there is no wiki parsing for source code.


 Is there a way to access / alter the html template for the non-wiki
 pages? In general it is nice to have these templates in the wiki
 itself - reuses the code and allow total flexibility in terms of
 customisation? But if these files are stored in the db somewhere I 
 can
 access and alter these directly?
 All the templates fossil is using are under Admin (header, footer, 
 [skins, css])
 and you can change them as much as you want.

 But the template language is basic, no include other templates. TH1 
 is available so
 you have if then else. But you have to code everything in the header 
 and the footer.
 for instance if you detect that the page is version.c then you could 
 generate a link to the documentation.
 But al the intelligence for connecting the source code to the 
 documentation must be contained in header and footer.

 Hi Richard,
 
 I discovered fossil yesterday while reading the Wikipedia page that
 compares version control systems. I read lots of the material on the
 fossil website, and I must say that fossil looks very promising.
 Congratulations on what appears to a great piece of software!
 
 I have very little experience with version control, but I'd like to
 start using it more. I work in a Clearcase environment, but I don't
 use Clearcase myself because I work relatively independently (I am an
 aerospace research engineer who writes prototype software for research
 in air traffic control). I recently started doing a little research on
 the alternatives. I watched Linus Torvalds talk at Google, and he sold
 me on distributed version control. At first I was interested in Git
 and BitKeeper. Then I discovered Bazaar, and I was almost ready to
 start using it, but I decided to take one more look at the options.
 When I saw fossil, I figured, with a name like that, it's a real long
 shot, but I'll take a look anyway. Sure enough, it looks impressive. I
 just have a few questions.
 
 The Bazaar website claims that one advantage of Bazaar over Git is
 that it properly handles renames of files and directories. That is
 important to me. I'm very particular about filenames and directory
 structure, and I don't want to feel that I am stuck with the first
 file name or directory structure I chose because changing it will
 confuse my version control system (or confuse the people using it).
 How does fossil compare to Bazaar in that regard? While your at it,
 I'd be interested to know how it compares to Bazaar in general.
 
 I downloaded fossil and gave it a try on my Linux machine. The first
 time I tried to add files, I got stuck in some mode that I could not
 get out of. Apparently, my EDITOR environment variable was not set,
 and I was supposed to give a comment. Fossil was showing a question
 mark, but I did not know what it wanted, and not even Control-C would
 get me out. I ended up killing the terminal and deleting the
 repository I had just created in case it was corrupted. How was I
 supposed to respond to the question mark?
You were put in ed The standard and always present editor in UN*X's.
q for quit would be the appropriated response. 

instead of setting the EDITOR variable you could do 
 fossil settings editor PutYourFavoriteEditorHere -global

 
 By the way, why do these version control systems insist on a comment?
 Yes, I understand that commenting is good practice, but does that mean
 it should be mandatory and the version control system should force me
 to write one? I tend to think not.
Because when you alter software you have an intent.
It is either correcting a bug, adding features, building.
These commits show the intent why you altered the software. So just the
comment will give you an idea what the intent of the source code change
are. Which will be beneficial 2 months later when you try to remember 
which commit contains the change you made.

I ques that in your  case not setting the EDITOR and going with q enter
y enter
is sufficient
 
 Regards,
 Russ Paielli

In general every software package has it own learning curve. I think in
the case
of fossil you are now over the steepest curve :-)

Regards

 Hello there!
 First of all I want to thank to the authors of fossil. I have discovered
 it recently and I am very pleasantly surprised with what such a small
 tool offer.
 
 Yet, I have an idea or wish that I am almost sure wont be big trouble to
 implement.
 
 If there are command for exporting a fossil repository attached with
 fossil executable in a self extracting archive then fossil could be used
 as an installer for distributing programs in development version with a
 update feature through http protocol.
 A final user of such installer would extract it in any local folder
 and automatically called fossil open command would be executed to create
 working tree, and after that would be executed program to finish setup
 process in new created tree (for a post installation process).
 
 Developer should be able to define post-installation script and
 destination folder suggestion to be given to the final user. This
 command would than create a self extracting archive which would contain
 fossil executable, repository and a program that should be called after
 extracting. That program would call fossil open command and post-install
 script which could be a member of working tree. That way fossil will
 become capable for creating installers.
 
 I hope someone would find this idea as implementable and usable
 extension to fossil and implement it.
 
 Anyway with or without implementation of this idea fossil is great tool
 already..

But you don't know on which platform fossil is running. It could be
that the platform on which your 
repository of interest is running on Sun OS. While you want to clone to
windows or to linux.
Then the fossil executable to which you connect is of no value to you!

noted they mention CVS repo accumulated some crap over time which
requited manual intervention, besides other issues, and wondered if a

A few of
us in the Tcl/Tk community have been wondering how Fossil would cope

there any lessons to be learned? 

Steve 

Actually the lessons learned
from the git migration have been put in the postgres cvs repository.
They have cleaned up the repo. There for it is one of the most easy to
migrate. But having said that. I have downloaded the freebsd cvs
repostory and the netbsd public cvs repositories. I had no problem
converting the freebsd projects/compat-fbsd and projects/binup. I did
had a problem with netbsd pkgsrc. It containd a module where the parent
were out of date with respect to the child. 

The reason I started doing
this was that I wanted to migrate a private cvs repo. The project has
been canceled but I can convert the repo with out a problem 

I don't
know what the TCl/tk repo contains. I think it's older than postgres. Is
it a down loadable cvs repo? I can have a look at it. 

What I would
recommend is install cvs2scm and run cvs2sqlite, this won't take long
under an hour . If you get comments that a parent is younger then its
child (or that the child is older then its parent) you definitely have
something to work on. If that didn't happen it looks brighter for you.


Do you use key word substation extensivly. Because you have to do what
postgres did remove the keywords from the tip.

[fossil-users] adding a file with the same name on a branch and the trunk

[Rene]

I'm working on CVS conversions and discovered that my branch
conversion 
algorithm is flawed. It means that the postgres repository I
created is
probable wrong for all branches. In working this out I wonder
how fossil
handles this situation:
 1) I create a branch b1 
 2) add fie
hello.c to b1.
 3) switch to trunk.
 4) add an other file hello.c to the
trunk.
Are the 2 files hello.c related? I would expect not, because they
don't have a common ancester.
When I merge the branch with the trunk

fossil says there is a conflict I assume since #trunk:hello.c is not
related to #b1:hello.c.
What does one do then? If I go ahead and commit
then hello.c is still what it was on the trunk b1:hello.c is ignored.


I think fossil should not allow the commit on this merge 

Is the
lesson that the merge is not possible? (Which i think is right)
And the
solution is then to rename one of the files so that the conflict goes
away?

Side Note
In CVS files are allways on the trunk even if created
on a branch.
When created on a branch the trunk version has state
dead.
and the branch version is branched from this not existing 1.1
version
It also showed that I have been doing the wrong thing when
adding files
to CVS on a branch. I would add them to the trunk and then
do
cvs tag -b b1 hello.c 
While the correct way seems to be
cvs co -r
b1
cvs add hello.c
cvs commit

I have done 4 cvs conversions and I have notice that tags (and for

want to verify that in fossil it is not possible to tag or branch a

I'm not looking for this

Re: [fossil-users] Wiki Help

[Rene]

Sorry but i didn't answer your question (I would like the Fossil wiki
to host at least a link to the local files
$basedir/api/index.htm?...just cannot get things working.) 

. I assume
you have this directory structure 

* fossilckout 

* doc 

* html


* src

Your Doxyfile in fossilckout/src has set
HTML_OUTPUT=../DOC/HTML . Document the source and run doxygen. Then
FOSSIL UI. Type the following url
HTTP://LOCALHOST:8080/DOC/CKOUT/DOC/HTML/INDEX.HTML. And you see the
doxygen generate html. Unfortunate you lost fossil. YOU HAVE TO GO
BACK IN HISTORY OR TYPE HTTP://LOCALHOST:8080/ TO GO BACK TO FOSSIL.


This is on the CHECKOUT SOURCES. If you would want to serve the
documentation from your repository you need to check in
fossilckout/doc/html/*. I think that is not what you want because the
documentation can be produced by running doxygen so there is no need to
put it in the repository.  

I tried the html way but there is no way I
can get doxygen to play nice with fossil.

If documentation is to integrate
with fossill it needs to be able to generate nowiki pages. 

e.g. native
html is 

[optional javascript] 

CONTENT 

nowiki is 

CONTENT


Docbook and Lyx can be easily made to work in nowiki mode. 

Doxygen
can not be integrated with fossil because it is using javascript in its
user interface. e.g. In 

the CONTENT there are javascript and input
elements. That doesn't play nice with fossil. 

You might get away with
html. I have to try that at home. If you need instructions for docbook
and/or lyx let me know.

EOF when ending binary COPY IN. The previous coding just terminated the
COPY immediately after seeing the EOF marker (-1 where a row field count

away later, since we weren't in COPY mode anymore. This behavior
complicated matters for the JDBC driver, and arguably was the wrong
thing in any case since a CopyFail message after the marker wouldn't be
honored. Note that there is a behavioral change here: extra data after
the EOF marker was silently ignored before, but now it will cause an
error. Hence not back-patching, although this is arguably a bug. Per

 Is there a similar possibility for branches and

Not at this time. But that is easy enough to add.

I'll try to
get to this later tonight, or failing that tomorrow. Remind me if I
forget.

 Thanks

I remember that you
migrated sqlite from cvs to fossil. 

So I looked at
http://www.sqlite.org/src/ and saw the branches and tags with correct


dates. I wonder how did you do that?

 Correct.

 I don't own a windows machine. The windows binaries on the website are
 generated by cross-compiling off of Linux.  I do have the capability
 of running windows under VMWare (for testing), but I don't bring
 VMWare up that often and do not have any compilers installed there.

Richard,

In my latest experiment I installed on my arch linux machine wine.
Then under wine I installed msys, digital mars c compiler, zlib , fossil
and compiled fossil with dmc under wine. I started fossil under wine and
started firefox (under linux). I can see the windows fossil on
localhost:8080

Richard,

I had success compiling fossil with Digital Mars Compiler.
This compiler identifies itself with __DMC__
so basically everwhere
  if __MINGW32__ or if!__min...@__
stands has to change to
   if __MINGW32__ || __DMC__ or if !__MINGW32__  !__DMC__
there are a few quirks
dmc doesn't have

-) close-, open- and read-dir but a public header fixes that in construct,
add and vfile
-)  strncasecmp and strcasecmp a simple  -Dstrncasecmp=memicmp
-Dstrcasecmp=stricmp
-) winsock inclusing is different
I had to do
  #if defined(__MINGW32__)
  #  include windows.h   /* for Sleep once server works again */
  #  include winsock2.h  /* socket operations */
  #  define sleep Sleep/* windows does not have sleep, but   
Sleep */
  #  include ws2tcpip.h
  #elif defined(__DMC__)
typedef int socklen_t;
  #  include winsock2.h  /* socket operations */
  #else
in cgi.c http_socket.c
it seems that winsock2.h includes windows.h

if it is of importance to you i can send the diffs

 From advice I got previously here is how I can access a PDF that is in

 That won't work in this case because...

 The document i need to serve is a demo PHP page, which must be served by
 the
 underlying web server. It uses JavaScript which requires a web server to
 be
 able to POST messages to (it's an RPC framework, so it's all about passing
 messages to/from the web server).

 i was hoping i could link non-fossil'd subdirs without using absolute URLs
 (including domain), but i haven't found a way to do it. They would be
 useful
 because my public website is mirrored on my system, so i could simplify
 local testing before updating the public server. But no big deal, in any
 case.

Its is a bit odd to run 2 http servers (well maybe not that odd)
1) run fossil ui on port 8080
2) run apache (xampp) on port 80 for the php pages.
   use a link or a path to get de directory into the pages that apache
will serve. you could do [http://localhost/fossil/demo/my.php|php
demo].
It is the basic theme you could improve with virtual hosts so that your
development  system uses the same naming (of course you have to edit your
local hostfile )

 I managed a successful build of fossil on Windows, through the kind

 The only outstanding issue is some undefined references when
 FOSSIL_ENABLE_SSL=1:
change

  endif
to
  ifdef FOSSIL_ENABLE_SSL
  LIB = -lssl -lcrypto -lgdi32 -lmingwex -lz -lws2_32

 don't know if its to do with versions, but i had to change it to

 and that built fine, but i don't really know how to test the end result

If I do that then fossil.exe exits with cannot find leay32.dll
