Welcome to fossil.wanderinghorse.net, home to software development projects created or maintained by Stephan Beal. It gets its name from the fact that all of the projects it hosts are managed using the Fossil SCM. Initially set up in 2008, this domain is believed to be the oldest Fossil-dedicated site aside from Fossil's own canonical repository. This site is itself a fossil repository.

As of late April 2026 this site, including all related subdomains, is configured to shut down completely when swarmed en masse by bots, so intermittent outages are to be expected. The site will recover once it recognizes that the swarm has given up and moved on.

Stuff...

• Source code repository collection
• Server setup docs describe (more or less) how this server was set up.
  • Mail server docs describe (more or less) how email was set up on this server. (Mail has since been moved to a 3rd-party mail service because (A) the Ubuntu 22.04 "upgrade" broke it and (B) maintaining a mail server, and keeping all mails sent through it from getting automatically marked as spam by the tier-one email services, all amounts to a huge pain in the butt.)

Any of the repositories hosted here can be cloned using fossil with:

$ fossil clone https://fossil.wanderinghorse.net/r/REPONAME

Collaborators are welcomed, so long as they're willing to work with fossil (github mirrors are not something i accommodate and i avoid git like the plague). If interested, please get in touch, noting that some "proof of intent" is required (e.g. patches or detailed feedback) unless we've collaborated together in the past.
