We've been using Fossil for more than 6 years as our primary SCM for more than 30 internal projects.
No problems with it so far. Its easy deployment as well as the ability to run a full SCM with a Web UI from a 3 or 4 MB executable on Windows or Linux is baffling for any new developer who is introduced to it.
- maxxxxx 8y agoHow many people do you have working on your projects? We tried fossil a few years ago but it was too barebones to implement our processes.
- mmoez 8y agoA dozen at most per project. I must also note that we've built in 2012 a multi-project Web UI over it that proved useful to empower project managers to create their own repositories and manage ACLs (One day we'll probably release that thing since it offers a Github-like experience with Fossil at its core.) By the way, right now the biggest project Fossil manages for us is a source code for a 15 years old project (still maintained) with a footprint of around 100 MB (source code in C/C#/XML/Bash/Python/BAT, docs, XML config/spec files.)
- exikyut 8y agoThat web UI will be interesting to many, I'm quite confident - and considering the exodus that's recently happened, people are looking for exactly those kinds of upper-management-friendly interfaces for VCS. I was just wondering... maybe put a few screenshots on a landing page along with a "coming soon"... could solicit some feedback, and capitalize on the current trend of looking for alternatives.
