Hi everyone, …
I've been learning about using multiple remotes (another phase of my move away from chiselapp fossil hosting). I now have "Remote O" (= oracle) which I think of as my primary or "default" (in my head…
PACKAGE_VERSION sets the epoch to 9, and the version component comes from the manifest file, separating both the date and time by a period (I think it’s still pretty readable for where it comes from)…
Hi. I'm creating my own VCS and I was wondering how Fossil went about implementing merges. I'm more interested in the concept as opposed to the direct source code, which is why I chose to write a fo…
I am running a cgi under `/repo/ext`. I am not logged in when I look at `/repo/home`. The capabilities are: <table> <tr><td>nobody</td><td>gjoz2</td></tr> <tr><td>anonymous</td><td>hm</td></tr> </t…
This patch is enough to prevent both standard and cherrypick merges with themselves. Backout merges are still permitted with this (reasonable, if you want to immediately undo the changes but don't w…
It seems we can set some expiry for users, when I see this correctly in setupuser.c? Is this also documented somewhere else? And who can edit this information?
Move the `)` from inside to outside the hyperlink: >``` Index: src/info.c ================================================================== --- src/info.c +++ src/info.c @@ -2945,11 +2945,11 @@ …
On editing users server-side (including myself), I think Firefox's password manager updated users with my own without being apparent to myself. This caused the login to fail for other users. In the…
There was some chat in a [different thread](https://fossil-scm.org/forum/forumpost/25b05c7db40fa098) about alternatives to "chiselapp", and I thought I would see about using an Oracle Cloud "always f…
On macOS, fossil seems to provide incorrect file paths to `gdiff`.. ``` eflisp e% fossil version This is fossil version 2.28 [52445a27f1] 2026-03-11 11:31:46 UTC eflisp e% fossil setting gdiff-comma…
I was looking for a way to split changes within a single file: While coding a feature I found two simple bugs and fixed them right there in about a minute each. I found that with `Fossil stash diff`…
Hello: My skin has the following code in the header: ``` if {[anoncap oh]} { if {![info exists current_checkin]} {set current_checkin tip} menulink "/dir?ci=$current_checkin" Files {} } ``` Th…
So I made this [simple guide or reference](https://netizens-corner.neocities.org/content/version_control/Git-ref) about GIT for laymen (*or at least tried to*) and now **I want to attempt one for Fos…
Hello, I am moving a project from git to Fossil. I have encountered various hurdles: 1. I could not find official documentation on how to import a repository into an online service. Eventually I fou…
Just a little test run to demonstrate the problem: >``` $ mkdir /tmp/t && cd /tmp/t $ fossil new ../t.fsl && fossil open ../t.fsl $ cat > README.md <<EOF [Link](document.md) EOF $ cat > document.md …
The [Change Summary](https://fossil-scm.org/home/doc/trunk/www/changes.wiki#v2_28) page still says version 2.28 is "pending". Is this an oversight or are more 2.28 updates planned?
I rarely view the 'Activity Reports" page, so I do not know when exactly it stopped to work but now it is no longer working: ``` Use a different login with greater privilege than {username} to access…
There's a few commands Fossil bundles that might be useful to run standalone, and being able to link/copy the Fossil binary to alternative names to use them as such could be handy. Among them: * […
Hello: I am working on deploying Fossil behind the pound proxy gateway. Due to a configuration oopsie, I managed to send fossil: ``` GET HTTP/1.1 ``` which is invalid since it's missing the [requ…
So I did a little oopsie. I moved some files around and then notified fossil of the rename but gave it the wrong place. Basically this was the starting point: ``` content ├── pages │ ├── index.md …
