Re: [fossil-users] authentication in JSON: anonymous vs. guest user

Hi,

the template approach in my last post could also be used for the wsdl  
stuff mentioned in another thread about json.

: "http://...html"; },
 "" : { "json" : "http://..json";, "html"
: "http://...html"; }
  }
}



I think including links etc. gets baroque pretty fast, and different  
use cases require different links.  It may be better in the long run  
to simply add a kind of template mechanism to the server.  This is  
explained on p. 297 in "Effective Tcl/Tk Programming" by M. Harrison  
and M. McLennan.  Basically the client sends a request giving a  
template and the data it wants.  This allows each client to get fossil  
data in the format the client needs, with just the data fields it  
needs.  So a client could request just the title of a ticket, or just  
the contents.


http://.../ticket.json&{"title"+:+$title} as an example

Re: [fossil-users] Draft doc for JSON/REST Fossil interface

2011-09-09 Thread fossil-m...@h-rd.org

Great idea!

Please consider that when using cgi a complete REST over http style
interface is not supported: cgi defines only http GET and POST

DELETE and PUT are not in the cgi spec and handled differently by different
httpd's.

[fossil-users] fossil idea: vendor branches, subprojects and foreign code libs

2010-09-07 Thread fossil-m...@h-rd.org
Hi,

recently there were a few discussions on how fossil handles (or not  
handles) subprojects and getting external code libraries into fossil.   
Maybe looking at PRCS ( http://prcs.sourceforge.net/ , not maintained  
anymore since 2003/2004), on "old" revision control systems is  
interesting.  It shares some features/ideas with fossil, but with a  
different emphasis.
In the documentation (available from the above site) there are two  
sections which may be interesting for fossil:

  - Subprojects
  - Importing Project Versions

In part PRCS relies on an editable control file in the repository such  
that subprojects can be checked out within parent projects.

hope this is interesting.
