Hello, I like Fossil and I'm using it for all my projects.
However, I would be glad that it would be used for many (open-source) projects considering that it would be more suitable than Git(hub). Recently I've re-awakened contact with the leader of one big FLOSS project telling him more about Fossil. Amongst many, one if his reply was: "Ok, well a FOSSIL mirror should be started ASAP then ;-)" Now, the project which uses SVN already has Git mirror which I used to convert to Fossil. $ fossil dbstat repository-size: 660814848 bytes (660.8MB) artifact-count: 248761 (stored as 36568 full text and 212193 delta blobs) artifact-sizes: 221499 average, 40470493 max, 55100155703 bytes (55.1GB) total compression-ratio: 83:1 checkins: 61552 files: 415055 across all branches wikipages: 0 (0 changes) tickets: 0 (0 changes) events: 0 tagchanges: 117 project-age: 4391 days or approximately 12.02 years. project-id: e8ad8441084461d1fca6e792a2e8ef23fd9598e8 server-id: 00f4e2b487f8db595fb6ce3dddad211a38ed6c70 fossil-version: 2014-09-24 09:01:03 [35bf217336] [1.30] (gcc-4.9.0) sqlite-version: 2014-09-20 00:35:05 [59e2c9df02] (3.8.7) database-stats: 645327 pages, 1024 bytes/pg, 0 free pages, UTF-8, delete mode As you know, migrating the project to new (D)VCS is never straightforward procedure without opposition from other camps mixed with politics. :-) However, natural step would be to provide Fossil mirror in order to show its adavantages over the current workflow, so I'm curious if anyone has some recipe in providing, at least, 1-way SVN --> Fossil mirror? Another concern is whether it would be acceptable for Chiselapp to host it for the public considering its size (660MB)? Anything else which could help to position Fossil as strong candidate for possible conversion in the future?
