chaos-19820812
Original and complete tape; from DLW.
v8
Contains kernel code (chncp/chunix), but no no user-space
code. While the tree is dated 1985, but the code under
usr/sys/{chncp,chunix} is rather from between 1982 and 1984.
E.g., chstream.c was modified such that it would accept an
errorp argument between 1982 and 1984. This change does not
exist in the above V8 code. It also does not contain RCS
headers. Plus, the directory structure for the headers is the
old split-style (e.g, chaos.h does not contain the literal
content of constants.h but instead does an #include).
chaos-19870606
Incomplete dump of kernel code (chncp/chunix), no user-space
code.
I think this tree should rather be dated 1990-07-17,
originally based on a tree from 1987 (1987-06-09). The 1994
timestamps are a rouse. When CFIELDS in 1994 setup
/afs/dev.mit.edu/source/src77/bsd-4.3/vax/sys/attic/chncp he
started numbering from 1.1 (when he re-ci:ed the files).
The original location of this was once
/source/bsd-4.3/vax/sys, where PROBE also did a re-ci of some
files (1990-07-17), including some minor fixes for compiler
issues.
As to why I claim that this is specifically based on something
from 1987, is simply that RC did actual changes then
(1987-06-12). The initial copy of all the files is though
from 1984. Which is I guess when Symbolics forked the
Chaosnet for Unix code, which is around there I think.
chaos-19970521
Contains many original files (~1989) as backup files, or
unmodified. Also contains a kernel driver for Linux 2.0.18.
Brad probobly started working on this in 1996?
chaos-19991124-0
Contains RCS files but these are only one revision and not
original. Probobly a dump of the CVSROOT. The Linux driver
is for 2.0.18 as above.
chaos-19991124-1
Same as chaos-19991124 but a working copy.
chaos-20000703
Continuation of above? Seems to be exactly same, but with RCS
IDs updates by me.
chaos-20010506
Continuation of above. Minor changes to keep up with Linux
breakage. The Linux driver is for 2.2.18 (or 2.4.2?).
chaos-20180318
Contains the start of a semi-cleaned up version of Chaosnet
for Unix that might work with three different back ends
(kernel for OpenBSD and Linux, Unix socket, embedded) and has
the Linux driver updated for 4.11.3.
