OpenBSD's source tree just turned 20 years old. I recall the import taking about 3 hours on an EISA-bus 486 with two ESDI drives. There was an import attempt a few days earlier, but it failed due to insufficient space. It took some time to repartition the machine. It wasn't terribly long before David Miller, Chuck Cranor and Niklas Hallqvist were commiting... then more people showed up. The first developments were improvements to 32-bit sparc. Chuck and I also worked on setting up the first 'anoncvs' to make sure noone was ever cut out from 'the language of diffs' again. I guess that was the precursor for the github concept these days :-). People forget, but even FSF was a walled garden at the time -- throwing tar files with vague logs over the wall every couple months. I was lucky to have one of the few 64Kbit ISDN links in town, otherwise this would not have happened. My desktop was a Sparcstation 10; the third machine I had was a very slow 386. The project is now at: ~322,000 commits ~44 commits/day average ~356 hackers through the years -- On this day, is my pleasure to give you a song written for the release by Todd Miller. http://www.openbsd.org/lyrics.html#58a It was twenty years ago you see Theo opened a cvs tree Made commits to many a file Joined by others in a very short while Take a moment to view The source of all this code The openbsd cvs repo... We're the openssh repository We hope you will enjoy the code The openntpd repository But that's not all that's here oh no... The mandoc 'pository, smtpd 'tory The libressl repo too It's wonderful to see the code Re-used far and wide The license is so liberal We'd love for you to code with us We'd love for you to code... I don't really want to have to go But it's hackathon time and so The coder will commit the code That he wants all of you to load So let me introduce to you the one and only Puffy Fish And the openbsd cvs repo... B... S... D... -- (The 5.8 release will be announced and released in a few hours.)
