Make repository listing works in windows when doing "fossil all server". See forum thread [forum:b597b5df8843daaa] check-in: 0a473cd553 user: mgagnon tags: trunk

Renamed Dockerfile.in back to Dockerfile so it can be used as-is on non-autosetup systems. Realized that we can pass the Fossil checkin hash prefix in as a build arg instead of regenerating the file on disk from auto.def. If you use the Dockerfile as-shipped, you get a "trunk" build, which risks a stale cache — it thinks it already has a tarball by that name and helpfully refuses to pull it again — but at least Windows users get *something* without hand-hacking the file. check-in: b0c9c26a9c user: wyoung tags: trunk
22:20
Added a /jail/log directory to the container so someone can pass --errorlog and such to the Fossil instance and have a place to put it. It also acts as a mountpoint for appending to a log out on the host. check-in: ed50ceee0d user: wyoung tags: trunk
21:58
/dev permissions were too tight in the container. They're still tighter than on a stock Ubuntu box, but they should suffice for Fossil's needs. check-in: 8eeb95e127 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:55
Restricted the container listeners to localhost in section 6 of the containers doc, and mentioned a few other items related to reverse proxying with nginx. check-in: c9ab736f78 user: wyoung tags: trunk
12:14
Folded info from an exchange with the Podman devs into the container doc. check-in: 80f4a1dd49 user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:36
Added section numbers to the containers doc (it was getting confusing) and added a few internal fragment IDs. check-in: 4d51d52417 user: wyoung tags: trunk
11:26
Finished all the new topics planned for the new containers doc, adding sections on rootful Podman containers and on building via Docker but running via Podman, using Docker Hub as an intermediary to avoid building on the remote host. check-in: 9c96e49995 user: wyoung tags: trunk
09:27
Sanitized a local port number out of previous check-in: 3dfa458167 user: wyoung tags: trunk
09:25
Added my sad tale of failure and woe with systemd-nspawn to the container docs, both as a warning to those who follow, and as a cry for help to someone who can make this work. I can't be bothered to spend more time on it, but there's no point throwing the work away. check-in: 1e8c665528 user: wyoung tags: trunk
09:15
Documented another cause to modify the "m" variable in the runc examples in the container docs. check-in: bf5030883a user: wyoung tags: trunk
08:09
Added more jq filters to the runc examples to remove further problematic things left in the automatic conversion from the Docker container configuration file to the one we provide to runc. check-in: 4e8c74797f user: wyoung tags: trunk
07:15
Worked through some difficulties here in applying the runc method on remote systems, then documented what I learned in the containers doc. check-in: 56f4e2ce2f user: wyoung tags: trunk
06:28
Small fix to previous check-in: d5695c8ef1 user: wyoung tags: trunk
06:02
Expanded the runc section of the container doc to cover "bundle" terminology and to show a method for rsyncing the bundle across to a remote host. Also explained why this is a bad idea unless you've got a rather constrained use case, lest people avoid using podman/docker in places where they could provide real value. check-in: f9f13ce7a9 user: wyoung tags: trunk
04:32
Documented the runc and crun options for running a container, including the cryptic method for exporting an OCI bundle from Docker, allowing you to use both together: Docker Desktop on your big dev box in the office, then one of the two lightweight runtimes out in the cloud. check-in: c9431ef4a3 user: wyoung tags: trunk
02:35
Added explicit instructions for patching the Dockerfile for the nojail/podman method and for mapping a single Fossil repo into the container rather than a directory. Also included my best current advice on using WAL mode in these contexts. check-in: 87a23d2a7c user: wyoung tags: trunk
02:15
Removed a TODO-based section of the new containers doc that wasn't meant to be checked in yet. Made a few improvements to the new Podman material as well. check-in: 5adf6c40d9 user: wyoung tags: trunk
02:01
Added the "Lightweight Alternatives to Docker" section to the new containers doc, currently limited to a tutorial on converting the stock Dockerfile to work under Podman in its default mode, creating a rootless container. This brings in the second container-related file at the root of the repo, the patch file for this, so we don't have to maintain two nearly-parallel Dockerfiles. As a bonus, it allows us to point to the patch from the prose, making explicit what we had to change. check-in: f0399ea9ca user: wyoung tags: trunk
01:53
Moved the busybox-config file from tools/ into a new containers/ subdirectory. We were using that as a junk-drawer directory, for lack of a better place to put it. Now that we're about to have a second container-related file in the repo, that weak excuse is wearing thin. check-in: b08e2bb747 user: wyoung tags: trunk
01:39
Referencing the new containers.md file from Dockerfile.in so we can remove a big redundant block comment from it. While in there, made a few style tweaks that will help the ongoing container document expansion. check-in: be8f721d61 user: wyoung tags: trunk

Add the test-line-hash command for use in debugging and analyzing the match_dline() functions. check-in: 6a2bfba43d user: drh tags: diff-color-enhancements
16:51
If unable to get good alignment between two diff block, try merging the current diff block with the subsequent diff block, if it is nearby. check-in: 45c91a6670 user: drh tags: diff-color-enhancements
16:22
Fix incorrect xReplace method in the --tcl formatter. check-in: 2e583d2a2c user: drh tags: diff-color-enhancements
15:00
Fix the SKIP display for --tk diffs. check-in: 581d3f8d88 user: drh tags: diff-color-enhancements
10:38
Fix diff.js so that it does not limit the width of unified diff <pre> elements. check-in: 723ce36ddb user: drh tags: diff-color-enhancements
10:27
Fix the blob_append_tcl_literal() routine to escape carriage-return characters (U+000d). Possible fix for the problem reported at [forum:/forumpost/390440e9793bfef7|forum post 390440e9793bfef7]. check-in: b4c961e8fb user: drh tags: diff-color-enhancements

22:22 Edit [ef8266b710505ed1|ef8266b710]: Edit check-in comment. artifact: 2398b5bd9d user: viriketo
22:14
Implementation of a linked list to solve the memory leak described in a TODO in [e2ebb1f5cae8]. This code is slower than having the memory leak, and at the end, it was not a big memory leak. Let's say, 10 byte per revision involved in a file annotate. If a file has 30000 revisions, it may go around 300KB then. For this leak to be noticeable (as we have a content cache until 50MB), it would mean having above a milion revisions for the file annotated. So, I keep this in a branch apart, as maybe the leak is worth the faster code. I have not measured the speed difference though. check-in: ef8266b710 user: viriketo tags: label_linkedlist
21:39
Reducing the leak of annotate even more. I wrote a TODO in the file, for a leak still present and relevant for files modified by many versions, but that requires harder work to get right. check-in: e2ebb1f5ca user: viriketo tags: annotate_noleak
21:02
Making annotate not segfault for the complex test case I have. There is still a little leak... but muuuch smaller than it was. check-in: fa760a24cd user: viriketo tags: annotate_noleak
20:43
Updating from trunk to get the latest code. check-in: 73b6ff4966 user: viriketo tags: annotate_noleak
20:41
What I did to get the 'annotate' command not leak. Notice that I disabled again the check for blob_is_reset, as in trunk. check-in: 7ad4dfbe8b user: viriketo tags: annotate_noleak
01:28
Update the built-in SQLite to the latest 3.7.8-alpha version that contains the improved merge-sort logic. check-in: 0cf5416002 user: drh tags: trunk
