We were not able to find a way to migrate the Mercurial history. I think what I have here is the SVN from 3) above. In particular I see comments in the dump regarding the initial migration from CVS to SVN. [ ... ] <orcmid> Is the source code in this SVN identified as LGPL, along with any THIRDPARTY notice in the manner that Sun provided those? This strikes me as sufficient to distribute it or house it somewhere. Whether the Computer History Museum would preserve such a thing seems possible, simply in compliance with the licenses that apply to the source. It would be up to their officials whether to do that or not. I have had a couple of contacts there. I will ask about this case. Meanwhile, there are a couple of things we could try to preserve the file(s) off-premise for you. I can provide you with an FTP account and a folder location if you want to try putting it on a web location I have, although I Think installing it as an SVN reload might be best. I'd Have to learn how to bring up SVN there, though. Another way would be to put it on OneDrive. I'm told I have 1TB available. It probably can't go up as a single file, though, and it could be tedious to break up. Other thoughts? </orcmid> --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
