Hello world,
As part of my ongoing research on versioning, I would like to try out
my (our) methods on real data. For this I need some realistic
examples of software with revision histories and vairaints. Most ftp
sites only has one or a few of the latest revisions of anything, but
I'd like to have more, preferrably *all* releases.
I need somthing which fits these criteria:
1. It's free and available over the Net.
2. It's of some size (a few K lines or more).
3. It's written in C or C++.
4. It uses #ifdef's for maintaining a fair number of variants.
This is important.
5. At least 10 consecutive revisions are available.
RCS or SCCS archives would be perfect.
For example, are full GNU archives anywhere to be found? I tried
prep.ai.mit.edu but couldn't find anything there.
I've struggled through revisions 2.3.3 and 2.4.0 of gcc, and could
find a dozen or so more by ftp, but it's simply too big and complex.
If anyone can direct me to some source(s) for this, I'd be very grateful.
