<h2>Fossil Bugs</h2>

  *  Good starting point for evaluation of Fossil on windows platform is ability to work with wiki.
The frustrating issue is that I can't manage to add files to repository to be able to play with them locally and start to use it.
For troubles encountered please see [Windows XP]
So far the only approximation available to me is deducing its features from web side.
I am trying to debug latest code (2008-07-13 12:08:47), with little progress. I would really appreciate, advice where to look to have workable windows environment.(ability to add/commit). Thanks.

  *  Is there any working mailing list for Fossil?<br><i>Yes, there is. Subscription at .<br>The mailing list archives can be accessed by subscribers at .</i>

  *  Great plans are described on fossil pages, unfortunately on XP it so far allows only editing wiki pages, no check in of files. Some details on [Windows XP].
<br><i>Fossil compiles and works fine on e.g. on Windows Vista (gcc 3.4.5 mingw32) and OpenSolaris 2008.11 (gcc 3.4.3 csl-sol210-3_4-20050802), including fossil as webserver daemon and as CGI program behind Apache 2.2.9</i>

   *  anonymous may break wiki-security by simply accessing any wiki page as


  *  Building on some Unix platforms (e.g. [OpenSolaris]) requires adding -lsocket to the linker args. To do this, set LDFLAGS=-lsocket and the Makefile will add that to the linker args. (Requires a fossil newer than 2008.04.25)

  *  .filename files (like .htaccess) can't be added in fossil repositories for some reason.  The complaint is "illegal character in file name".
<br><i>This has been changed - you can now check-in files whose names begin with "."</i>

  *  On Windows XP, clone command and friends "unable to open database file" error message. See [Windows XP]

  *  (arjenmarkus) The description of the Wiki formatting rules is slightly confusing - maybe because I am used to the Tclers' Wiki, but I could not get the bullets to work.
<br><i>drh sez: two spaces, a "*", then two more spaces, then your text.</i>

  *  (arjenmarkus) An HTML document rendered using Tcllib's doctools was shown in truncated form (see
<br><i>drh sez:  This was fixed in [71104b898d] - just needed to recompile the fossil on the website.</i>

  *  (arjenmarkus) If you use the pre and /pre tag in the Wiki, then empty lines inside these tags result in a new paragraph, not an empty line.
<br><i>drh sez:  The &lt;pre&gt; markup does not disable wiki.
Use &lt;nowiki&gt;&lt;pre&gt; instead.</i>
