- 4. Self-Contained - Fossil is a single stand-alone executable
- that contains everything needed to do configuration management.
- Installation is trivial: simply download a precompiled binary
- for Linux, Mac, or Windows and put it on your $PATH. Easy-to-compile
- source code is available for users on other platforms. Fossil
- sources are also mostly self-contained, requiring only the "zlib"
- library and the standard C library to build.
-
- 5. Simple Networking - Fossil uses plain old HTTP (with proxy
- support) for all network communications, meaning that it works
- fine from behind restrictive firewalls. The protocol is bandwidth
- efficient to the point that Fossil can be used comfortably over
- a dial-up internet connection.
-
- 6. CGI Enabled - No server is required to use fossil. But a
- server does make collaboration easier. Fossil supports three
- different yet simple server configurations. The most popular is
- a 2-line CGI script. This is the approach used by the self-hosting
- fossil repositories.
-
- 7. Robust & Reliable - Fossil stores content in an SQLite database
- so that transactions are atomic even if interrupted by a power
- loss or system crash. Furthermore, automatic self-checks verify
- that all aspects of the repository are consistent prior to each
- commit. In over two years of operation, no work has ever been
- lost after having been committed to a Fossil repository.
