Fossil (software)
Fossil is a distributed version control system, bug tracking system and wiki software server for use in software development created by D. Richard Hipp. ContentsFeaturesFossil is a cross-platform server that runs on Linux, BSD derivatives, Mac and Windows. It is capable of performing distributed version control, bug tracking, wiki services, and blogging. The software has a built-in web interface, which reduces project tracking complexity and promotes situational awareness. A user may simply type "fossil ui" from within any check-out and Fossil automatically opens the user's web browser in a page that gives detailed history and status information on that project. Being distributed, Fossil requires no central server, although collaboration is made easier by using one. Content is stored using a SQLite database so that transactions are atomic even if interrupted by a power loss or system crash. Fossil is free software released under a BSD license (relicensed from previously GPL). AdoptionFossil is used for version control by the SQLite project, which is itself a component of Fossil. SQLite transitioned to using Fossil for version control over CVS in September 2009.
