Hi all!
I'm pleased to announce that there's a new branch in the git repository, named
'prehistory', which covers exactly that. It is connected the the master branch
in a backwards-time-travel way, so that the tip of the branch is the oldest man
pages that one can find --that is, 1.0--.
This is not a stable branch, and may be rebased in the future to fill gaps (such
as man-pages-1.1, which is missing), which is the reason I didn't create tags
for the versions.
Anyone curious about the old pages like me, can now use all the power of git(1)
for that purpose. Below you can see a glance of what is now available through git.
To avoid misattributing authorship of changes, I attributed them to time itself.
Cheers,
Alex
P.S.: Andries, do you know anything about 1.1? There's the announce in your
ftp server, but the tarball is missing.
By ftp server, of course I meant the ftpdocs dir on your website:
