2023-03-31
18:49
Updated the Podman docs to no longer talk about all the "sudo" stuff we used to have to do to get it to build and run. There are no more mknod calls to fail in that rootless environment. check-in: 779cb8fd9d user: wyoung tags: trunk
2023-03-30
18:14
Updated the container size info in the Fossil v Git doc to track recent developments. check-in: 283b1a4201 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:51
Commit [cda5d6a7] invalidated the BusyBox steps in the Tcl and Python examples in §3.2 of the containers doc. check-in: ddcdc6f30b user: wyoung tags: trunk
08:15
Update the list of versionable settings in the documentation. check-in: 0f9224e98a user: danield tags: trunk
2023-03-28
13:29
Using "FROM busybox" in the second stage of the Dockerfile instead of "FROM scratch" plus a copy of the busybox.static binary installed via APK in the first stage. We're throwing this layer away in the third stage, so the difference is immaterial. This simplifies things without losing anything we care about. check-in: cda5d6a72b user: wyoung tags: trunk
00:02
Post-sleep edit pass on the new material in §3.2 of the containers doc. check-in: d21fb2678a user: wyoung tags: trunk
2023-03-27
13:41 Fixed ticket [eadfb8c2ff]: Need d=X, ft=Y on /timeline to complement p=X, ft=Y. plus 4 other changes artifact: 36e20456a5 user: drh
13:41
Add the ft=TAG query parameter to /timeline which, in combination with d=Y shows all descendants of Y up to TAG. Implementation of enhancement request [eadfb8c2ffa9fe03]. check-in: 64f141fce0 user: drh tags: trunk
07:24
Refined the Tcl and Python examples in the new §3.2 of the container doc. check-in: 9baa4423f6 user: wyoung tags: trunk
06:33 Edit [deb99e22e143fb91|deb99e22e1]: Edit check-in comment. artifact: 70d52dfc25 user: wyoung
06:33
Switched to a split ENTRYPOINT/CMD scheme for launching the Fossil server in the container. The immediate need is so we override lower-level ENTRYPOINTs provided by mix-in layers, but it's more correct generally. ENTRYPOINT says this is the hard-coded purpose of the container, and CMD gives the arguments to that command. The split is therefor... check-in: deb99e22e1 user: wyoung tags: trunk
04:59
The container now uses BusyBox only in the build and setup stages, leaving just the static Fossil binary in the final stage, plus absolute necessities like a /tmp directory.

This removes the justification for the custom BusyBox configuration, which then means we can use Alpine's busybox-static package in the second stage, saving a bunch of network... check-in: 79ac06a540 user: wyoung tags: trunk

2023-03-26
23:54
Do not render "Check-ins" button within a submenu of /tktview, /tkthistory, /tkttimeline and /info pages, unless a user actually has a capability to read check-ins. This should prevent confusion and save some screen space. check-in: c04c814e10 user: george tags: trunk
2023-03-24
15:22 Fixed ticket [ed62a4d353]: Unintuitive interpretation of p= and bt= query parameters on /timeline plus 4 other changes artifact: 3d6d2ddd42 user: drh
15:22
For the bt=Y query parameter in /timeline that is used in conjunction with p=X, if Y is a tag then search backwards in time for Y beginning with X. Fix for ticket [ed62a4d35332595a]. check-in: 507ebd8b3f user: drh tags: trunk
13:13 New ticket [eadfb8c2ff] Need d=X, ft=Y on /timeline to complement p=X, ft=Y.. artifact: 22b0684598 user: drh
13:04 New ticket [ed62a4d353] Unintuitive interpretation of p= and bt= query parameters on /timeline. artifact: b7a1aee92d user: drh
10:21
Comment and whitespace tweaks check-in: 81c30ab97d user: wyoung tags: trunk
08:27
Switched from a Dockerfile "ADD" command to wget for the BusyBox source tarball because, surprisingly, BuildKit pulls the URL unconditionally under the logic that it can't know whether to cache the pulled data until it has a copy to compare against! This not only means you pull the BusyBox source tarb... check-in: ac95559482 user: wyoung tags: trunk
08:13
Another fixup to the nojail patch to track the previous. (Can't reliably create these patches without having a committed version to diff against, alas.) check-in: c9e4b3d254 user: wyoung tags: trunk
08:07
Dropped our canned /etc/os-release file entirely, recommending instead that those who need a VM-like container image switch the second stage from "scratch" to one of Google's "distroless" images, which provide that and more. That in turn gets rid of the need for the dummied up /usr/bin and /run, which simplifies the mainstream case. check-in: d778a02392 user: wyoung tags: trunk
07:43
Updated the nojail patch so it applies cleanly atop all these recent Dockerfile changes. No functional change; merely tracks changes in the context parts of the diff. check-in: 2bdd5819e2 user: wyoung tags: trunk
07:03
Tiny clarity tweaks to the Dockerfile. No functional change. check-in: 591e3eb90e user: wyoung tags: trunk
05:23
Removed a reference to /etc/os-release from stage 2 of the Dockerfile. Commit [4cb5c03e] took care of stage 1 only. check-in: 4b41a7f8bd user: wyoung tags: trunk
05:20
Switched from "adduser" and "addgroup" commands for setting up the "fossil" user to direct echo-into-output, same as we already do for the root user. We had to to it for root since the BusyBox implementation of adduser/addgroup won't create these files if they're missing, but that meant we had two different ways of creating users and groups. This... check-in: fff11fc604 user: wyoung tags: trunk
05:17
Added the interactive debugging shell command to the Quick Start section of the containers doc for easy cut-and-paste. check-in: 2f0144071a user: wyoung tags: trunk
2023-03-23
18:03
URL and whitespace fixes to previous. check-in: 9e73519c01 user: wyoung tags: trunk
16:40
The /etc/os-release workaround for nspawn's pickiness has caused the feature to go into negative ROI territory. Ripped it out of the mainstream process and made it a manual step for those who need it, in the hopes that this will cause fewer ongoing problems than leaving it as it is. check-in: 4cb5c03ea1 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:51
Dropped declaration of Dockerfile syntax version from 1.4 to 1.0. Put it at 1.4 when we were using heredocs, a feature that went from experimental to stable at that version, then failed to drop it back when we replaced the use of heredocs with externally generated files to regain Podman compatibility. check-in: 5b62bfe101 user: wyoung tags: trunk
15:42
Linked to the Dockerfile from the top of the containers doc. check-in: 2210c15d13 user: wyoung tags: trunk
14:52
Use a more appropriate link in the above document. check-in: aacd3714ce user: danield tags: trunk
14:48
Correct two broken links in the 'Fossil vs. Git' document. check-in: f8baa04bd2 user: danield tags: trunk
2023-03-19
14:25

2023-03-17
12:28
Update the built-in SQLite to the first 3.41.2 beta, for testing. check-in: 36b17e515a user: drh tags: trunk
11:50
CSS tweaks for the Blitz and Aroise skins to make it more apparent when Submit buttons are disabled. Based on [forum:4cbd254480d00dd2|forum post 4cbd254480d00dd2]. check-in: c0f623864b user: stephan tags: trunk
2023-03-16
02:08
Produce merge conflict mark during merge when file exist in current version and in version to be merged, but not in common ancestor.

Related forum discussion including test script: [forum:f035bbc8461da6d2]. check-in: 04e1674c75 user: mgagnon tags: merge-conflict-when-no-file-on-pivot

2023-03-15
12:42
A blitz skin forum CSS tweak from [forum:224044aa2d8d2] to give visited links in the thread list a slightly different color. check-in: 68e9acb836 user: stephan tags: trunk
10:40
(x)diff --context N, where N is a negative value, is now treated as infinite, per off-list feature request. check-in: 16d3d8b05e user: stephan tags: trunk
10:35
Forum listing CSS tweaks prompted by [forum:3d350d67b6e836]. check-in: 0aae0ef506 user: stephan tags: trunk
2023-03-14
17:18
Add the --out option to the "cat" command to specify an output file - only if a single historical file is requested. check-in: 8975472d26 user: danield tags: trunk
14:16
Slight CSS tweak to the darkmode skin's forum listing, based on [forum:9a6f4c039d82|forum post 9a6f4c039d82], intended to make the have-been-visited links stand out a bit better. check-in: d2c93a417e user: stephan tags: trunk
14:07
Correct a directory name in skins/README.md which was made invalid via code restructuring. check-in: e6ef19776f user: stephan tags: trunk
2023-03-13
20:58
Renamed the new "Capabilities" glossary entry to "Capability" since we shouldn't be using a plural top-word entry even though they're defined, transported, stored, and otherwise treated as a group. Also replaced a use of this word in its own definition. check-in: d3f4581437 user: wyoung tags: trunk
20:44
Moved the "snapshot" term in the glossary down into a footnote because it's got assorted problems, making it a much worse overall synonym for "version" even than "UUID". check-in: 733ef88ab8 user: wyoung tags: trunk
19:54
Expanded the "version/revision/UUID/snapshot" discussion in the glossary into a separate term since these aren't strict synonyms for "check-in", the definition which previously hosted this topic. check-in: 58030a789b user: wyoung tags: trunk
19:00
Added a new glossary item "Capabilities" to introduce the term and distinguish it from "Permissions", and made several changes to the referenced document to reinforce this distinction and explain why we bother to make it. check-in: 23b91f3794 user: wyoung tags: trunk
13:40 New ticket [746a5106f9] Email address of account overrides user-entered email address for new tickets. artifact: 3e5e8f8f2d user: stephan

11:05
Add a 'Max' field to the forum thread list, analog to the one in /timeline, and remember that value as part of the display prefs cookie. Per request in [forum:113ee6f241b84403|forum post 113ee6f241b84403]. check-in: 2ee93fc0c5 user: stephan tags: trunk
09:48 Ticket [539e5365b4] Permit forum users to edit posts after admin has edited them status still Open with 6 other changes artifact: d181183c61 user: stephan ... 1 similar event omitted.

2023-03-09

2023-03-07
15:40
Remove superfluous makeheaders-targeted declaration of markdown() from markdown.c, since this made it appear twice in the generated header files. check-in: bb583b0cc4 user: danield tags: trunk
14:23
Change default anonymous user perms for new repos from 'hmnc' to 'hz', per discussion at [forum:c6326072f3e6b270|forum post c6326072f3e6b270] and /chat. check-in: ddabf09faa user: stephan tags: trunk
13:00
Make the no-op rendering callbacks in backlink.c type-compatible with the declarations in mkd_renderer, doing away with a theoretically possible undefined behavior and the related compiler cast warnings. check-in: d3434fd8cc user: danield tags: trunk
12:40
CSS tweak to make long hashes wrap in narrow /chat views. check-in: 8a401c209f user: stephan tags: trunk
2023-03-05
08:08 Edit [3e5d23daec90eb93|3e5d23daec]: Mark "Closed" with note "This attempt changes too much with regards to how tags are added via the checkin command, introducing unwanted side effects for folks who use $EDITOR to write checkin messages. To re-visit after lower-level experimentation reveals which linking approach to use.". artifact: 852a1e63cf user: stephan
2023-03-03
14:34
Resolve incorrect value being sent with the SMTP EHLO header when sending notification mails, per discussion in [forum:f183ab47a7beee47|forum post f183ab47a7beee47]. check-in: e7a5b98583 user: stephan tags: trunk
13:05
Minor updates to the schema docs for the tagxref table. No functional changes. check-in: 3037be63e2 user: stephan tags: trunk
2023-03-02
20:20
Refactor the "repack" command to call extra_deltification() routine directly. check-in: 9c1f486f9d user: drh tags: trunk
17:24
The recommendation to configure Fossil with the --static flag is semi-obsolete, and the following advice to look further down in the same document for the Docker workaround was wholly obsolete since moving all of this into the dedicated containers.md doc. Fixed all this up, and linked to the "why" answers on Stack Overflow about all of this in a f... check-in: d282e42cd2 user: wyoung tags: trunk
17:13
Merge trunk into forumpost-locking branch. check-in: 27c3423e89 user: stephan tags: forumpost-locking
17:01 Changes to wiki page "branch/ci-link-formpost" artifact: 04c421f612 user: stephan
17:01 Added wiki page "branch/ci-link-formpost" artifact: 3c7b8fee4a user: stephan
14:10
Prototype for one approach to linking forum posts to other artifacts (initially check-ins). Adds the --forumpost HASH flag to the ci command, which adds a forumpost/FULL-HASH tag to the checkin for later use in /info and forum post views. For ease of use, this probably needs to be adapted to map only to the first version of a forum post, as is done... Closed-Leaf check-in: 3e5d23daec user: stephan tags: ci-link-formpost
10:26
An equivalent of the patch proposed in [forum:f183ab47a7beee47|forum post f183ab47a7beee47] to resolve the argument sent to smtp EHLO, reducing it from an email address to the domain part of the address. Closed-Leaf check-in: be4815b17e user: stephan tags: smtp-ehlo
