I'm trying to list out the document scans I have and work out which are
already on bitsavers and which are not (and, indeed, a fair few of these
are originally from bitsavers anyway). This is probably several thousand
files total, so searching manx by hand is not an option!
I see that manx lists the MD5 checksum for many files, at least it does
for those from bitsavers. Is there a publicly available list of URL and
MD5 checksum? This would make it relatively easy for me to cross check
my files against the list and whittle down to a subset that I should
make available.
Alternatively, is the current manx database available anywhere? I know
the code is on github, but I didn't see the data there. (I do have an
SQL dump from 2010 when manx changed hands, but that's not recent enough
to save much).
I could try to do some parsing of bitsavers-filename => DEC-part-number
and eliminate files that way, but that seems inexact at best. Or I could
just download the DEC subset of files (spread across the mirrors) but
that seems a bit antisocial.
