Fossil is a software configuration management system. Fossil is software
|
|
that is designed to control and track the development of a software project
|
|
and to record the history of the project. There are many such systems in
|
|
use today. Fossil strives to distinguish itself from the others by being
|
|
extremely simple to setup and operate.
|
|
|
|
In addition to distributed version control, it supports distributed bug
|
|
tracking and wiki, with a built-in web interface, in a single easy-to-use
|
|
integrated package.
|
|
|
|
Fossil provides the ability to sign your commits using gnupg. But, just
|
|
installing it alone is not enough. You also need to run the following:
|
|
|
|
$ fossil settings clearsign on -global
|
|
|
|
This package can be built with a static FLAVOR, which makes it easier
|
|
to use in a chrooted apache environment. ${TRUEPREFIX}/bin/fossil must
|
|
be copied to /var/www/bin. Note that it requires /var/tmp in the
|
|
chroot dir:
|
|
|
|
# mkdir /var/www/var
|
|
# mkdir -m 1777 /var/www/var/tmp
|
|
|
|
After upgrading to a newer version of fossil, it is always a good idea
|
|
to run: "fossil all rebuild". Running "rebuild" this way is not always
|
|
necessary, but it never hurts.
