Artifact 122998a42888cf9a10b362baf9e1b5993a68576a9e015dbad086e8638a5722a7:
A release without a license grants nobody any rights, so this is the legally gating step of the 0.1.0 sequence. zit is an independent reimplementation from the Fossil RFCs rather than a derivation of Fossil source, so the choice was open; BSD-2-Clause matches the Fossil heritage and the systems-Zig ecosystem.
What changed:
- LICENSE at the repo root, BSD 2-Clause, copyright Daniel Mestas 2026. - build.zig.zon .paths now names LICENSE, so the file actually ships inside a fetched package instead of only existing in the checkout. - The leftover commit-description-413190fb92be991f.txt scratch file is gone and .fossil-settings/ignore-glob carries commit-description-* so the class of file cannot drift back in. - src/packaging_test.zig pins the above as executable facts: LICENSE content, LICENSE named inside the manifest's brace-matched .paths block, a line-anchored ignore-glob pin, and a negative-space pin asserting every repo-root path build.zig embeds is also named in .paths. These acceptance criteria are file-structure facts, which rot silently because nothing executes them; the battery alone cannot catch a .paths regression. - build.zig grows build_unit_test_module: the pinned repository files attach as anonymous imports to a test-only compile of root.zig, never to the exported zit module. Attaching them to zit made every consumer's build depend on files outside .paths and a fetched package failed on a missing .fossil-settings/ignore-glob before compiling a line. The negative-space pin exists to catch exactly that recurrence. - docs/RELEASE-0.1.0-PLAN.md, the plan of record for the 0.1.0 release, is committed alongside the first step it describes.
Test evidence: zig build and zig build test green in the working checkout. This commit is additionally gated on a clean-checkout proof — fossil open into a fresh temp directory, then zig build and zig build test there — which is the check that catches a file referenced but never added.
No borrowed techniques in this change, so no attribution is owed. by dmestas on 2026-07-18 20:12:07.
