[fossil-users] Wibble import
I'm having yet another go at importing my Wibble development history into Fossil, this time with a much more modest goal: only import the code. But of course that's not possible, as I must also import my check-in comments describing the code. When that's all done, I'll see about bringing in the latest snapshot of documentation and examples and commentary and current bugs and such, with a document somewhere linking to the Tcl Wiki for historical data. The first part is done, that is importing the stuff that was hosted on the Tcl Wiki [Wibble] page, i.e. everything through 2009-12-19. Next I will import the [Wibble implementation] page. The problem I face now is adapting the rather copious check-in comments from the [Wibble change log] page. Go have a look: http://wiki.tcl.tk/27384 . How would I go about putting this into Fossil while keeping it readable and useful? I can keep the links to the announcements and bugs just by bracketing them, e.g. [http://wiki.tcl.tk/27383#pagetoc42e963e2] (though should explicitly give a page version to harden against future changes to the Tcl Wiki). I spy one case where I refer back to a previous revision, and I can just put the commit artifact ID in its place. And the links to other Tcl Wiki pages I can stand to lose. It seems the real problem is my two-level bulleted list layout. Collapsing it all to a linear series of sentences is an option I would very much like to avoid.

Unless I'm wrong, I seem to recall that there is a setting to make the timeline permit wiki and/or HTML markup for check-in comments. -- Joe Mistachkin ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

General wiki markup would be awful for me because of all the bracketed Tcl command names in my comments. -- Andy Goth | andrew.m.goth/at/gmail/dot/com ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

General wiki markup would be awful for me because of all the bracketed Tcl command names in my comments. I'll manage with plain text (using * and - for bullets) if only I am given a way to force line breaks. I remember there being some mention of that on the list recently, with a CSS way of making it happen. But how would this interact with [fossil finfo] and the like where (I think) line break is assumed to terminate the comment? -- Andy Goth | andrew.m.goth/at/gmail/dot/com ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

I pulled all my release code into the Fossil repository. Here's how it looks: https://chiselapp.com/user/andy/repository/wibble/timeline?n=200y=ci To be done: - Create branches for contributed/forked code. - Publish documentation and examples. - Create tickets for outstanding bugs. - Rearrange code now that it's feasible to have multiple files. - Remove Wibble code and such from the Tcl wiki and redirect to chiselapp. It bothers me that I will forevermore have to be careful about putting , , and in my check-in comments. I've already had to make several edits to fix this. I would prefer a more flexible wiki markup. In the future Fossil may grow an admin-selectable secondary wiki markup language that doesn't resort to HTML notation for things like nested lists. But when this is done, it would also be useful to get a conversion utility that parses existing comments and wiki pages and converts to the more advanced style. The purpose, the very definition, of a lightweight markup language such as wiki is to be easily readable in plain text form. Tossing ul and li and /li and a href and such all over the place is contrary to that goal. Are there any standardized wiki markup languages worth targeting, or does every wiki engine roll its own? -- Andy Goth | andrew.m.goth/at/gmail/dot/com ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users

For a bunch of versions I accidentally checked in not the Wibble code but rather the Tcl Wiki HTML. I can't go back and edit all the old commits, so it looks like I'll have to call this a failed import and start over. I'll try to salvage my commit text and such. -- Andy Goth | andrew.m.goth/at/gmail/dot/com ___ fossil-users mailing list fossil-users@lists.fossil-scm.org http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users
