# The devel/fossil,static port

## fossil-2.7v0-static – simple distributed software configuration management

## Description

    Fossil is a software configuration management system. Fossil is software
    that is designed to control and track the development of a software project
    and to record the history of the project. There are many such systems in
    use today. Fossil strives to distinguish itself from the others by being
    extremely simple to setup and operate.

    In addition to distributed version control, it supports distributed bug
    tracking and wiki, with a built-in web interface, in a single easy-to-use
    integrated package.

    Fossil provides the ability to sign your commits using gnupg. But, just
    installing it alone is not enough. You also need to run the following:

    $ fossil settings clearsign on -global

    This package can be built with a static FLAVOR, which makes it easier
    to use in a chrooted apache environment.  ${PREFIX}/bin/fossil must
    be copied to /var/www/bin.  Note that it requires /var/tmp in the
    chroot dir:

    # mkdir /var/www/var
    # mkdir -m 1777 /var/www/var/tmp

    After upgrading to a newer version of fossil, it is always a good idea
    to run: "fossil all rebuild". Running "rebuild" this way is not always
    necessary, but it never hurts.
