Nostalgic moments

Just about half an hour ago a user entered #gentoo-portage and asked for old sources (portage 1.0 or so). So we've done some digging and found 1.5's sources. My god, what a world!

Just for fun I've put together a snapshot of the tree from March 24 2001, the day after drobbins added 1.5 to the tree. (It's in sys-apps/portage/files/1.5, btw.). The tarball is 11M "big", featuring 1134 ebuilds and 648 packages in 51 categories. W00t!

There are even older artifacts on the internet:

Looks remotely familiar?

Explanation here:

"Enoch linux" is the reason for the leading e in ebuild emerge etc...

Perhaps someone should create a gentoo museum page...
