While everyone is writing about that other anniversary (whatever), let's focus
on what matters.
Ten years ago today, Linus made the first commits to the Subsurface repo.
commit 857e153070aee4383a82342a41caf0c5a0f8d700 (tag: start)
Author: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org>
Date: Sun Aug 28 16:18:53 2011 -0700
Start archiving the stupid XML files
(and add a reminder of how they came to be)
Gaah. XML is *stupid*. It's not easy to parse for humans or for
computers, and some of these XML files are just disgusting. But maybe
they can be turned into something usable with libxml.
Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torva...@linux-foundation.org>
Even back then his commit messages were already awesome...
Today, after 18818 commits, the file format is a bit better and the UI is maybe
slightly more advanced - but not of this would exist if the kernel.org
<http://kernel.org/> servers hadn't been hacked a decade ago which left Linus
bored :)
Congrats Linus, congrats to all of us!
Happy hacking and happy diving.
