Changed all references to "FOCAL 69" to "FOCAL,1969", and linked to the new "[Running FOCAL,1969]" wiki article which explains why this naming difference matters. check-in: d10da9f386 user: tangent tags: trunk

Hacking on the PiDP-8/I Software
====

If you are going to make any changes to the PiDP-8/I software, here are
some rules and hints to keep in mind while you work.


<a id="gs-fossil"></a>
Getting Started with Fossil
----

The PiDP-8/I software project is hosted using the [Fossil][fossil]
[distributed version control system][dvcs].  Fossil provides most of the
features of GitHub under a simpler operating model than Subversion


without tying you to a proprietary web service.

This guide will introduce you to some of the basics, but you should also
at least read the [Fossil Quick Start Guide][fqsg]. For a more thorough
introduction, I recommend [the Schimpf book][fbook]. If you have
questions about Fossil, you can ask on [the Fossil forum][ffor], where
I, your humble project maintainer, am active.

If you started with one of our PiDP-8/I binary OS images made in or
after April 2017, Fossil 2.x is already installed.

If you're starting from some other OS, you either won't have Fossil
installed at all, or you'll most likely be using an older version, since
the Debian project is still shipping version 1.37 and likely will
continue to do so until 2020 or so in accordance with their software
stability policy.  You could build Fossil from source, or you could just
go grab a pre-built binary we keep on the project site:

    $ wget https://tangentsoft.com/pidp8i/uv/fossil-2.8-raspbian-9.6-stretch
    $ sudo install -m 755 fossil-* /usr/local/bin/fossil







Fossil is also available for all common desktop platforms.  One of [the
official binaries][fbin] may work on your system.  If you're getting
binaries from a third party, be sure it is Fossil 2.1 or higher.

Hacking on the PiDP-8/I Software
====

some rules and hints to keep in mind while you work.


<a id="gs-fossil"></a>
Getting Started with Fossil
----

The PiDP-8/I software project is hosted using the [Fossil][fossil]
[distributed version control system][dvcs].  Fossil provides most of the
features of GitHub without having to put up with all of the complexities
of Git. In a lot of ways, Fossil is even simpler to use than Subversion.
See [Fossil Versus Git][fvg] for a well-balanced comparison of the
user-facing differences.

This guide will introduce you to some of the basics, but you should also
at least read the [Fossil Quick Start Guide][fqsg]. For a more thorough
introduction, I recommend [the Schimpf book][fbook]. If you have
questions about Fossil, you can ask on [the Fossil forum][ffor], where
I, your humble project maintainer, am active.

If you started with one of our PiDP-8/I [binary OS images][bosi] made in
or after April 2017, Fossil is already installed.

If you're starting from some other OS, Fossil won’t be installed by
default, but if it’s Debian-based (e.g. Raspbian) you can easily install


Fossil with:


    $ sudo apt install fossil

That command assumes you’re running it on a derivative of Debian Buster,
released in June 2019, or newer. Older Debian-based OSes shipped Fossil
1.x, which is too old to work with our Fossil repository. (We need 2.1
or higher.) You could dig up an old version of this document to learn
our workaround for that problem, but it’s better to upgrade to an OS
that includes a compatible version of Fossil.

Fossil is also available for all common desktop platforms.  One of [the
official binaries][fbin] may work on your system.
