Re: [fossil-users] 'mostly static' Fossil on Solaris 8/9+

Longer Explanation: The only Solaris box that I have capable of building anything is a Solaris 10 box; there are a handful of boxes that run still Solaris 8 and 9 (these are minimal installs). :( [...] So given that the only choices to get this to work on an older version are to either install/set-up an old Solaris 8/9 + build tools, or build a cross compiler... The former is not really an option for me. What if you create a Solaris 8 branded zone on the Solaris 10 box, and compile fossil there?

[fossil-users] Quickref available for fossil
I'm teaching a class on using fossil next week and put together a quick ref sheet to help folks get going. I haven't seen any other quick ref sheets for fossil so maybe this will be of use to others.

I haven't seen any other quick ref sheets for fossil so maybe this will be of use to others. I have to go get on an airplane in 5 minutes, so I didn't study your quickref carefully, but it looks good after a quick glance. I personally disapprove of creating branches using fossil branch new. I think branches should be created at check-in time, using fossil commit --branch NAME. But I'm willing to accept that this is personal preference and not a requirement. I also do not like to create tags using the command-line, preferring to us the UI. Again, I'm willing to accept this as a personal preference. I find the new -y option on diff to be *very* useful. I'm not sure it has made it into a released version of Fossil yet. But even so, I think it deserves a mention. I'm curious to know more about the class you are teaching: Where is it being taught and who is the audience. I'm hoping you can provide a quick briefing for me to read after the plane lands.

Re: [fossil-users] Quickref available for fossil
Thank you for providing a great assistance to novice users.
I and the eight person team with which I work are such and
this will be a useful addition.
Some notes:
1. Not all readers will be programmers and not all will have
English as first language. The combination makes for extra
work to understand some of the descriptions and examples:
sync - synchronise when not used as a parameter
deltas - changes - this is an expression with math origins
and thus even more obtuse to artists :-)
2. Under Move/mv, do the Safely and unambiguously...
instructions work under MS-Windows? I don't use MS-Windows so
I can not say for sure.
3. Only the checkin ('ci') and commit ('co') commands have been
abbreviated. Others use the full word for the command. Perhaps
a small note at the end about the ability to abbreviate would
be a reminder to those with greater experience.
4. Page 2 Stash command has a typo:
stash for later retrival
should be
stash for later retrieval
5. Page 2 Controlled Docs Mechanism description mentions
Can also server .wiki files using wiki syntax
and an example would be useful for non-programmers.
Thanks again.
Chris

Re: [fossil-users] Quickref available for fossil
I revealed my own ignorance with this comment:
3. Only the checkin ('ci') and commit ('co') commands have been
abbreviated. Others use the full word for the command. Perhaps
a small note at the end about the ability to abbreviate would
be a reminder to those with greater experience.
I should have said:

abbreviated. Others use the full word for the command. Perhaps

I accept that both are synonyms rather than abbreviations.
