The frustrating issue is that I can't manage to add files to repository to be able to play with them locally and start to use it. For troubles encountered please see [Windows XP] So far the only approximation available to me is deducing its features from www.fossil-scm.org web side. I am trying to debug latest code (2008-07-13 12:08:47), with little progress. I would really appreciate, advice where to look to have workable windows environment.(ability to add/commit). Thanks. * Is there any working mailing list for Fossil?<br><i>Yes, there is. Subscription at [http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/fossil-users] .<br>The mailing list archives can be accessed by subscribers at [http://lists.fossil-scm.org:8080/cgi-bin/mailman/private/fossil-users] .</i> * Great plans are described on fossil pages, unfortunately on XP it so far allows only editing wiki pages, no check in of files. Some details on [Windows XP]. <br><i>Fossil compiles and works fine on e.g. on Windows Vista (gcc 3.4.5 mingw32) and OpenSolaris 2008.11 (gcc 3.4.3 csl-sol210-3_4-20050802), including fossil as webserver daemon and as CGI program behind Apache 2.2.9</i> * anonymous may break wiki-security by simply accessing any wiki page as http://my.server.test/fossil/wikiedit?name=SomeWikiPage. * Building on some Unix platforms (e.g. [OpenSolaris]) requires adding -lsocket to the linker args. To do this, set LDFLAGS=-lsocket and the Makefile will add that to the linker args. (Requires a fossil newer than 2008.04.25) * .filename files (like .htaccess) can't be added in fossil repositories for some reason. The complaint is "illegal character in file name". <br><i>This has been changed - you can now check-in files whose names begin with "."</i> * On Windows XP, clone command and friends "unable to open database file" error message. See [Windows XP] * (arjenmarkus) The description of the Wiki formatting rules is slightly confusing - maybe because I am used to the Tclers' Wiki, but I could not get the bullets to work. <br><i>drh sez: two spaces, a "*", then two more spaces, then your text.</i> * (arjenmarkus) An HTML document rendered using Tcllib's doctools was shown in truncated form (see [http://fortran.sqlite.org/index.html/wiki?name=Documentation]). <br><i>drh sez: This was fixed in [71104b898d] - just needed to recompile the fossil on the website.</i> * (arjenmarkus) If you use the pre and /pre tag in the Wiki, then empty lines inside these tags result in a new paragraph, not an empty line. <br><i>drh sez: The <pre> markup does not disable wiki. Use <nowiki><pre> instead.</i> Z 171e1fbb2c9bc5343a83f62fd293e997
