| Code developers have long known the importance of tracking changes by file and timeline. Managing software configurations, particularly for complex packages such as Asterisk, and even the AstLinux system itself can greatly benefit from the same sort of tools. Fossil is implemented as a single executable binary, and in AstLinux's case uses a single SQLite database file as the repository, which can track directories and files containing text configurations. Even changes using the web interface changes a directory full of text files, these changes can be tracked in a timeline using Fossil. | Code developers have long known the importance of tracking changes by file and timeline using a version control system (VCS).
