Hi,
Fedora has packaged it into official repo, however maintainer sometimes forgets the update so we invent a monitoring tool:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Upstream_release_monitoring
However we can't track fossil's update since this project neither has a public download folder can be accessed from public nor has mentioned any tarball link on download page.
The only link to tarball is fossil- , with a lot of numbers. I hope you can:
- Since the tarballs are stored in
http://www.fossil-scm.org/download/
like
http://www.fossil-scm.org/download/fossil-src-20140127173344.tar.gz
I hope you can make this dir
http://www.fossil-scm.org/download/fossil-src-20140127173344.tar.gz
public.
- Name the tarball in style:
fossil-src-$(VERSION).tar.gz
Okay?
Thanks!

You can construct the URL to pull the version you want, and to name the tar file how you like, by passing the right URL params. See:
[http://www.fossil-scm.org/index.html/help?cmd=/tarball]
e.g.
/tar/fossil-trunk.tar.gz?uuid=trunk
will cause the file fossil-trunk.tar.gz to be downloaded, and inside the tar the top-level dir will be named fossil-trunk.
or:
/tar/foo.tar.gz?uuid=trunk&name=fossil-trunk
which will name the download foo.tar.gz but will (inside the tar) have a directory name of fossil-trunk.
