When you say Fossil - are you referring to "https://fossil-scm.org/index.html/doc/trunk/www/index.wikiâ ? Iâve seen it come up a few times - is it good?
Yes I mean the Fossil SCM. I use it as a personal wiki and file repo. It comes with built-in ticketing system and forum, all wrapped into one executable file. Fossil also imports/exports Git repos. I'd use Fossil for small development teams too. Except for game development and other cases involving multi-GB repos with lots of binary blobs.
can you hook into it to save application runtime artefacts such that a distributed application can read them back
Fossil was designed as a standalone executable. It is difficult to "library-ify" and the developers have no plan to do so. But it is just a single executable, supports JSON output for some of its functions, and can be invoked via OSSubprocess and the like, conceptually similar to how Iceberg uses libgit2 to do Git stuff.
