| 20:48 | Removed all references to "Fossil 2.1x" from the docs, excepting the changelog and the hashpolicy doc. The bulk of these were for 2.14 or older — *ten* versions back now! — and there is no reason to suppose such old versions are still in use any more. These notes were justified when they informed users about surprising changes and feature additions, but they now do nothing but clutter the docs. If I am wrong about people being surprised by these things, we still have the changelog, the timeline, and the forum. ...

| 06:29 | Removed use of UPX in the container build process. It complicates the build for a tiny gain while breaking ARM builds. We worked around the ARM-on-ARM case earlier, but it also breaks x86 cross-compilation on ARM. Images are already compressed, and while `upx -9` is stronger compression than whatever Docker Engine is using, it's a small advantage. This does mean the static executable isn't compressed any more on x86, but if you want that, you can UPX it afterward. ...

Replaced Jan Nijtman's Dockerfile with a new one that does a 2-stage
build. The first stage runs atop Alpine Linux instead of Fedora,
reducing the initial build from ~635 MiB to about 16.
Rather than stop there, I then made it multi-stage, copying two key static binaries — Fossil and Busybox — over from the first stage into a fresh-from-scratch container and set it up to run the former jailed away from the latter. The result is under 9 MiB, and it's as secure as one can hope, given that it starts up in "PUBLIC" mode. The new build doesn't have all the extra features turned on that the old one did, but it seems right to build the container with Fossil in its default configuration. If you want something else, copy the Dockerfile, hack it, and make it do what you want instead. Having done all this, I replaced the one-off Dockerfile inline in section 5.0 of the build doc with a reference to this new Dockerfile and rewrote the section in terms of the new capabilities. Finally, this lets us brag on how small the container can be, as compared to the Gitlab-CE container. Before, we were comparing a standalone binary to the container, which wan't entirely fair. (The desire to produce such a container was the spark that kicked this project off.) ... (file: [9bc1094e] check-in: [77d603c6] user: wyoung branch: trunk, size: 48916) | |

Recast the blockchain.md doc as "Is Fossil a Blockchain?" (answer:
mostly no) and updated all references to it to either remove the term,
use "repository" instead where that's sufficiently clear, or to say
either "Merkle tree" or "hash tree" instead where we need to distinguish
the hash tree itself from the rest of the repo DB file's contents. This
depends on the prior CAP theorem doc, since part of the argument for
Fossil not being a blockchain gets us down into those weeds.
EDIT: Moving it to a branch because we're still arguing the point on the forum. ... (file: [9886b47c] check-in: [855578b6] user: wyoung branch: fossil-as-blockchain, size: 47522) | |
