138 check-ins for the month beginning 2019-08-01 by user wyoung

Following month ↑
2019-08-29
02:44
Changed internal docs on capability 6 (AdminForum) to remove the claim that it can be used to revoke capabilty 4 (WrTForum) from users. I think that feature was planned, but no UI was ever created to support it. Maybe that feature will come someday, but the forum feature is over a year old now. Doing it on this branch because this is all part of the capability documentation improvements. Without this checkin, the cap ref doesn't match the code's internal docs. ... (check-in: fd9ba57a user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
01:57
Linked to the new caps docs from the existing www/* docs wherever "capability" or "capabilities" was mentioned before. ... (check-in: 0af0e146 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
00:45
Clarified meaning of EmailAlert (7) in cap ref. ... (check-in: 4aceb600 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
00:31
Merged in trunk changes ... (check-in: 493254b2 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
00:28
Updated comment about "6-character random hex password" at the top level of the new setup docs to track [23a9f9bac2]. ... (check-in: f304ba31 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
00:21
Linked to the new material showing Fossil's idea of user power hierarchy from the comment in fossil-v-git.wiki about Fossil's support for the organization's social and power hierarchies. It's not that Fossil has *no* support for enforcing this, it's that it's usually a fairly loose match between the two systems. This is an important point, because some people new to Fossil expect 1:1 mapping and get disappointed when we tell them it just doesn't do that. ... (check-in: b72795a3 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
00:17
Fixed some URLs still referring to admin-v-setup.md in its old location. ... (check-in: 182c4d7a user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
00:07
Investigated the use of HTTP for sync over ssh:// and file:// URLs and added what I found to the "Caps Affect Web Interfaces Only" section of the new caps docs. ... (check-in: 845b4594 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
2019-08-28
23:33
Documented Public Pages and the default user capability set in www/caps/index.md. ... (check-in: 4671ddb1 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
23:15
Moved the discussion about inadvertent attribution of artifacts and the problems with easy solutions to the problem into the implementation details section of the new caps docs and expanded it to cover recent forum discussions. ... (check-in: 78ad8b74 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
22:42
Assorted small improvements to top-level caps doc ... (check-in: f21bfbee user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
22:09
Expanded the "Why Not Bitfields?" discussion in www/caps/impl.md. Also tweaked the "Capability Letter Choices" text a bit while in there. ... (check-in: 3ac560a2 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
19:52
Changed the hamburger menu link href from "#" to "/sitemap" so clicks on it do something useful in the noscript case. ... (check-in: b2379b31 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-08-27
20:35
Moved www/capabilities.md to www/caps/index.md and www/admin-v-setup.md to www/caps/admin-v-setup.md. Then broke three chunks of the old capabilities.md doc out into new www/caps/* docs: login groups, implementation details of user capabilities, and the user capability reference material. The latter switched from Markdown to HTML format so we could make it a clearer-looking table, rather than its prior hard-to-read bullet list form. ... (check-in: c6cdf9ce user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
18:04
Merged most of the new material on Setup vs Admin in the new capabilities doc into the pre-existing admin-v-setup.md doc, which already covers this topic. ... (check-in: ee901c7b user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
03:56
Grepped the Fossil source code for C code that checks for Setup caps exclusively to preotect functions and listed those in the Reference section of capablities.md. Also expanded the coverage of the "caps affect Fossil web interfaces only" section, which plays into this. ... (check-in: 689f7683 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
02:16
Added cap "n" to "r" in skins that show a /ticket link in their header, since the handler for it allows the page to show for those who can only file new tickets, not just those who can see existing tickets. Also fixed some skins that were using "anoncap" to test this: it needs to work for all logged-in users, not just "anonymous". ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: f4e3abce user: wyoung tags: skin-cap-matching)
01:55
Rewrote explanation of "o" cap. ... (check-in: 208ca0d7 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
01:40
Disentangled discussion of "developer" vs "reader" in capabilities.md. ... (check-in: 869494eb user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
01:00
Added (Names) to the "Capability Reference" section of capabilities.md so the reference can be used while reading C source code, which uses these names instead of the capability characters in all code past the login handler. ... (check-in: d48dff8f user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
00:07
Changed all of the [anycap jor] TH1 calls in the stock skins wrapping the generation of that skin's /timeline and /timeline.rss links to [anycap ijr2] to match the user caps the timeline HTTP hit handler actually checks for in the C code. This is a branch in part because it needs review, but also it's the start of a broader effort to check the other cap checks in the skins to make sure they a) match what the C code checks for; and b) match each other. ... (check-in: 9cee8cf5 user: wyoung tags: skin-cap-matching)
2019-08-25
13:24
Added HTTP proxying info to Debian nginx server setup guide. ... (check-in: c6a033ce user: wyoung tags: trunk)
12:39
Replaced the content of "Running Fossil in SCGI Mode" within www/server/debian/nginx.md with references to our other Fossil server docs. This also reduces the prior focus of this section on fslsrv to a single sentence, since we now prefer the systemd option, now that we have it. ... (check-in: a4bb92f7 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
12:29
Swapped the simple foo.net "whole site is Fossil" example in www/server/debian/nginx.md for the more complicated example.com one where only /code is served by Fossil. This is probably going to be more common, and it shows off the important detail of setting SCRIPT_NAME properly. Made a minor adjustment to any/scgi.md to track this change, so there is not a pointless difference between these two nginx configs. ... (check-in: 653e90ca user: wyoung tags: trunk)
11:52
Clarified use of scgi_params, SCRIPT_NAME, and service starting in the generic SCGI server setup doc. ... (check-in: 5a58ac31 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-08-23
11:49
Clarified the placement of "moderator" and "subscriber" in the power hierarchy expression within www/capabilities.md, since each could float up and down somewhat within the fixed hierarchy we give here. Also fixed a broken URL. ... (check-in: ba88f4f2 user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)
08:31
Added www/capabilities.md, a complete treatment on user capabilities, user categories, login groups, and administration matters involving all of this. It does not replace the pre-existing admin-v-setup.md doc, but a bit of its content did move into this new doc. The new doc also contains the user capability info previously in the forum.wiki doc. This is on a branch because although it's quite useful already, it could use some work before being merged down. At the barest minimum, there are some unanswered questions in the new doc that need addressing.

This new doc does not replace the existing documentation in the UI. It may be that we end up paring that down a bit now that we have a full doc to refer to, but that is a topic for the forum thread that will appear shortly after this checkin. ... (check-in: 832f107e user: wyoung tags: caps-doc)

05:32
Fixed a few fatal error messages from the login-group command that referred to an "add" command, which is now called "join". The symptom I saw is that "fossil login-group add" complained that "add" is not a valid command and that you should give '"add" or "leave"' instead! ... (check-in: 09c65d75 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
05:22
Fixed a few messages from the login-group command that referred to an apparent older name for the "join" sub-command, "add". This lead to a confusing symptom: "fossil login-group add foo" -> {unknown command "add" - should be "add" or "leave"}. ... (check-in: 739cd872 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-08-22
15:06
Stronger recommendation for changing the default user's random hex password prior to setting up a Fossil server after learning it's 6 hex digits, not 8 as I thoght when I wrote that! ... (check-in: 9fcd6e44 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
14:14
Added bullet list detailing the sources for <script nonce=""> from a Fossil server and the reasons we consider each path safe. ... (check-in: 91377ae4 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
13:31
Reworked the material explaining why in-page <style> is currently allowed by Fossil's default CSP to make it clearer that this is most likely a temporary situation and that local custom CSS should go in the skin instead. ... (check-in: 092eeebf user: wyoung tags: trunk)
13:13
Expanded the discussion of in-repo and out-of-repo resource links in defcsp.md. ... (check-in: 23fcd765 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
12:39
Reworked the new introductory material in defcsp.md to be less about the CSP as last-resort and more about being a secondary filter to our other measures. Gave examples to clarify the tensions that prevent a purely server-side solution from being a practical solution. ... (check-in: 1c4df5bf user: wyoung tags: trunk)
11:54
"RaspberryPI" -> "Raspberry Pi" ... (check-in: 5182be99 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
11:53
Assorted refinements to the new pre- and post-activation advice sections in www/server/index.html: nix passive voice, add a few details, add some links to related docs, etc. Also fixed a CSS indenting problem preventing correct use of

in

  • , then made use of the new freedom in these sections' numbered lists.

... (check-in: b5c2c9bf user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-08-21
11:09
Added a header to the new XSS material in defcsp.md so we can refer directly to it. ... (check-in: 7b843f2d user: wyoung tags: trunk)
11:01
More thorough explanation of <script nonce> in www/defcsp.md, and explained the reason why Fossil has no way of providing that nonce in most content types rather than link to the "XSS via check-in rights" forum post. This new presentation of that post's ideas is more detailed and includes discussion of the feature's interaction with the TH1 docs feature. ... (check-in: 8d43bb87 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
09:40
Major improvements to the new defcsp.md article. Expanded the introductory material to better describe what the CSP does; added named anchors to headers; moved the discussion of $default_csp overrides into this document from customskin.md, which now just says how you use that variable read-only; and added an entirely new section, "Replacing the Default CSP". ... (check-in: 366b23a1 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
08:52
Replaced the redundant copy of the default CSP in skins/bootstrap/header.txt with "$default_csp", allowing the TH1 setup script to override the CSP as in all the other stock skins. (Bootstrap is the last stock skin to define a custom <head> element.) ... (check-in: 14ac2cac user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-08-20
07:01
Fixed a link punctuation bug introduced in [74a6578c]. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: c57e1793 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:45
The merge from trunk accidentally reverted part of the new text in www/embeddeddoc.wiki. (This part was manually merged, and I missed a diff relative to trunk.) ... (check-in: 8976a9da user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:35
Missed a link to server.wiki that should have been checked in with [74a6578c]. ... (check-in: d5def0c8 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:34
Merged in trunk improvements ... (check-in: 42d28c02 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:28
Reverted src/doc.c to the trunk version. The "Plan Z" reversion in [8264fd75] was incomplete, causing bad TH1 variable expansion. I believe this explains the symptom I worked around in [9bdf650f0b8]. This check-in also cherry-picks [3d6a4fd95c] onto the branch. ... (check-in: 3cdf764c user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:03
Updated all of the internal hyperlinks referencing www/server.wiki to point at either www/server/index.html or one of the docs it now points at. ... (check-in: 74a6578c user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:57
Fixed an unwanted "$nonce" variable expansion within the new customskin.md introduced by [9044fd2dbe] which only occurs *sometimes*: not on fossil-scm.org, and apparently not in my earlier ckout testing prior to checking it in, but now in a different ckout test. This has to be a TH1 thing, but I don't understand why we didn't see this earlier. This is just a workaround for the symptom. ... (check-in: 9bdf650f user: wyoung tags: trunk)
04:34
Fixed a link from the new material in embeddeddoc.wiki to the new CSP material: that briefly lived in customskin.md before checking it in, but then I moved it to a new document and forgot to update the link. ... (check-in: f4cbfd5a user: wyoung tags: trunk)
04:24
Fixed a couple of Tcl syntax fixes that caused the new --with-sanitizer code to a) run unconditionally irrespective of the option's setting and b) to check for the existence of libubsan whether it was actually needed or not. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: 66fdab76 user: wyoung tags: configure-updates)
04:07
Added www/defcsp.md, which documents the default Content Security Policy applied by Fossil to the HTML pages it serves. Linked that into embeddeddoc.wik and customskin.md, which touched on this topic before but didn't go into much detail. ... (check-in: 4e6d36d7 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
01:34
Added --with-sanitizer configure-time option for appending -fsanitize=VALUE to CFLAGS and LDFLAGS, plus automatic detection of -lubsan for GCC, which doesn't automatically link to that with -fsanitize=undefined as Clang does. EDIT: This check-in breaks the built on Ubuntu 18.04. ... (check-in: 7907b6ff user: wyoung tags: configure-updates)
00:41
Removed "known to work with IIS" bit from www/server/index.html in the CGI section, since that is not actually true. We can put it back once someone figures out the IIS + CGI + Fossil CPU pegging problem. ... (check-in: 8b7c17de user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
00:37
Removed documentation of the nonce="$NONCE" feature in www/embeddeddoc.wiki, removed as part of [8264fd75]. ... (check-in: d55f6b15 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
2019-08-19
12:38
Added missing www/chroot.md file ... (check-in: 80cd49f0 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
12:09
Updated www/server/index.html to no longer discuss launchd as a "maybe" option now that we have a document for it, and removed mention of Solaris SMF entirely. ... (check-in: 1e6fbcf2 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
11:59
Added www/server/macos/service.md and then added macOS to the set of server OSes offered in www/server/index.html ... (check-in: e0ad4b48 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
10:22
Assorted small tweaks to www/server/windows/iis.md ... (check-in: b5fefeec user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
10:10
Small tweaks to the new "Serving as a Standalone Server on Windows" article. ... (check-in: 3995a3c7 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
09:47
Assorted small tweaks to server docs, mainly around new systemd material. ... (check-in: 9d4a4782 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
09:10
Added www/server/debian/service.md, demonstrating systemd configuration of Fossil for the first time in the official docs, both as a user serivce and in socket activation mode as a system-level service. ... (check-in: 94763aed user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
05:00
Clarity tweak ... (check-in: bc678e13 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:58
Grammar fix on previous ... (check-in: d5c754f9 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:58
Title tweak on previous ... (check-in: afc65312 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:57
Added www/server/windows/none.md server setup article ... (check-in: 3e55ddf7 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
03:44
Added explicit instructions on installing IIS within the new IIS server docs. It isn't installed by default, and in the CGI case, CGI isn't part of the default IIS install. ... (check-in: b2f10ad5 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
01:17
The www/customskin.md document hadn't been updated since we removed the explicit <html><head> stuff from the default skins and moved that into the C code so we could insert the CSP and such automatically. Updated it to show the inner
tags that you actually get by default now, and talked about how the HTML document wrapper is added automatically. Also fixed some spelling and grammar errors.
... (check-in: 9044fd2d user: wyoung tags: trunk)
00:30
Added links back to the top-level www/server/index.html article from the tail end of www/server/*/*.md. ... (check-in: 0f6f151d user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
00:25
Justified the ordering of sections in www/server/index.html by including info on complexity. CGI remains last because CGI is only a "simple" option when someone else sets up the CGI security for you, as on old-style cheap hosting plans. Also added several inline sub-document references. ... (check-in: 9f4121db user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
00:01
Merged the lists of socket listener daemons into the Socket Listener section of www/server/index.html: the list of known-working daemons down from the numbered list at the top of the article, and the list of potentially-working daemons up from the <noscript>-cloaked document matrix below. Also reordered the sections from simplest to most complex. ... (check-in: d9ab9c56 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
2019-08-18
08:52
Implemented the first version of the JavaScript tutorial chooser in www/server/index.html, complete with fallbacks for the noscript case, optional display of the static document matrix, and pretty CSS transitions between the states. ... (check-in: 0cbdbc72 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:20
URL fix in previous ... (check-in: a7610e42 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
06:06
Added the nonce="$NONCE" embedded documentation substitution feature and documented that and the other pre-existing text substitution features. ... (check-in: 02db05e6 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
05:20
Further refinement of the server setup tutorial matrix CSS ... (check-in: a6fee589 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
05:12
Reduced the number of columns in the server setup tutorial matrix by collapsing all of those for the OS's default web server down to a single shared column. Also dropped the xinetd column as obsolete. (We still have the explicit xinetd article link above.) ... (check-in: 3f9f1bdf user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:51
Moved inline CSS within www/server/index.html elements up into a <style> block at the top. Then used that to create a more even matrix layout. Also fixed some incorrect URLs checked in with the prior version, due to the document changing directory level. ... (check-in: 648574cb user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:41
Renamed www/server.wiki to www/server/index.html and converted it to HTML format. Did a bit of prose polishing and CSS work while in there. ... (check-in: 81932667 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
04:12
Small improvements to IIS + CGI doc ... (check-in: f7c839c1 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
03:53
Added docs for IIS + CGI server configuration. ... (check-in: 9098ebba user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
02:21
Assorted improvements to www/server/windows/iis.md. Removed the empty CGI and SCGI sections, as those will be separate articles. Added "Why Bother?" section. Added link to ./service.md. Better explanation of the /code rewriting example. Hoist TLS info up into the new "Why Bother?" section. ... (check-in: 1670e5fa user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
01:03
Capitalization fix in HTML output from /artifact_stats ... (check-in: d570edc6 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-08-16
18:58
Corrected the description of nginx + SCGI in www/server.wiki. ... (check-in: 0f217e89 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
18:36
Added starting version of www/server/windows/iis.md, covering only the HTTP reverse proxying case. ... (check-in: fbacfacf user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
12:53
Moved the chroot and loadmgmt sections of www/server.wiki into separate documents. This change also adds info on /proc to the chroot doc, which was missing in its prior server.wiki form. Also reduced a few other "details" sections of server.wiki to bullet points in the new "Further Details" list at the end of the document. ... (check-in: 85eaffb6 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
11:59
Changed "socket activation" to "socket listener" in all the new docs ... (check-in: 3c9f811b user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
11:42
Markdownism fixes... ... (check-in: 1428f59e user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
11:41
Small improvements to the new Fossil Chroot Jail section of www/server.wiki ... (check-in: 4c837bc3 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
11:08
Small clarity tweak to the new "Methods" discussion in www/server.wiki. ... (check-in: fc00b7b2 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
10:27
Converted the backwards-compatibility sections in www/server.wiki into identified hyperlinks to the new docs, which allows existing external ".../server.wiki#cgi" URLs and such to work without needing the near-empty sections containing only a hyperlink just to anchor the link. ... (check-in: 0bb59100 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
10:19
Several small refinements to prior check-ins. ... (check-in: 16e3cff6 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
10:11
Moved the "Serving via althttpd" material from www/ssl.wiki to a new document, www/server/any/althttpd.md, linked from www/server.wiki. ... (check-in: 2e19fcee user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
09:55
Added some named anchors to www/server/any/stunnel.md ... (check-in: ce4b4bae user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
09:54
Moved the stunnel proxying docs from www/ssl.wiki to a new document www/server/any/stunnel.md, and pointed www/server.wiki at it. Also replaced some similar material in this branch's new www/server/windows/stunnel.md file at this generic document. Between these two changes, the generic stunnel docs now cover the reverse proxying option for the first time. (The old version used the socket activation method exclusively.) The new document also gives a more realistic configuration, showing Let's Encrypt paths and a sensible ciphersuite configuration. ... (check-in: 53b2e866 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
09:15
Split the HTTP-only parts out of www/tls-nginx.md into a new document discussing only the reverse-proxying of `fossil --scgi` to HTTP using nginx on Debian type OSes. That material is now in www/server/debian/nginx.md, which is referred to from www/server.wiki. While in there, did a bit of prose polishing on this old guide. ... (check-in: 2baa8151 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
07:13
Broke most of the contents of www/server/wiki out into a series of www/server/*.md articles that are now linked from a checkmark table in its place, which also links to the new www/server/windows/*.md files created to start this branch off. This is not purely a matter of moving prose around: there is a fair bit of improvement to the pre-existing prose as well, most notably that we now document the Fossil chroot jail requirements for the first time. (Previously, you had to go dig up mailing list or forum posts (or even RTFS!) to work out those requirements.) There's more to do on all of this; do not merge it to trunk yet. ... (check-in: fad82714 user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
03:33
Relaxed the "enforcing" language around the planned change of hash policy from "auto" to "sha3" in Fossil 2.10 within section 2.8 of the fossil-v-git.wiki doc, and clarified what will actually happen with that release as compared to the current release. ... (check-in: c5461fb5 user: wyoung tags: trunk)
01:58
Merged recent spell check fixes into this branch so we don't revert any of them. ... (check-in: a9fd086f user: wyoung tags: server-docs)
01:57
Another spell check pass on www/* using a different dictionary than in the prior pass. ([79c2cb083152]) ... (check-in: 0996347d user: wyoung tags: trunk)
2019-08-10
23:04
Added "Forum Posts" choice to the "Activity Reports" sub section of /stat. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: f39e47a1 user: wyoung tags: forum-post-activity-report)
03:44
Updated the temp file and dir location documentation in www/env-opts.md to match what the current code does. ... (Closed-Leaf check-in: 1f63724e user: wyoung tags: windows-env-usage)
03:23
Inserted %USERPROFILE% between %FOSSIL_HOME% and %LOCALAPPDATA% in the code that chooses where the user's account-wide _fossil file lives on Windows. (This is the Windows analog to the ~/.fossil file on POSIX systems.) Also updated the docs to match. ... (check-in: 15176c8a user: wyoung tags: windows-env-usage)
2019-08-09
12:15

Many improvements to section "2.3 Durable" in fossil-v-git.wiki, largely involving the merger of a near-repeat of the same points down in section 3.1, but also adding more information emphasizing the durability of SQLite DBs in general and Fossil repos in specific. ...

Extracted part of section 2.1 and merged it with the entire prior content of section 2.5 in fossil-v-git as a new section, "2.2 Efficient and Effective".
