Yes, git://linux-libre.fsfla.org/releases.git which carries tagged releases, scripts, and logs. As you can see it goes all the way back to 2.6.21. The primary motivation for the creation of this git repository was actually for Guix, as a solution to the feedback from the tarballs being removed due to the lack of disk space, but it appears that it is not being used. --Sig_/eKb08QsTrIAaeolyLFS7sdF Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Description: OpenPGP digital signature -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- iQIzBAEBCgAdFiEE9hGpCP+hZcaZWE7UnQ2zG1RaMZgFAmFTVloACgkQnQ2zG1Ra MZierBAAobhvPo+zBrB+8+90ssHnW8sflTGuO+LiJskeSA5astH/DeTg/KtHcjCh rj8b8a3kj45gHxRCNVO++JLmJiqYPzuE/dcDzI+344pVMdfnMZLcd858ya5A42fb 3BNNxrGKaRZRfUAqqMw/erZGb9M0QBuy6K2kuj0z6aECcqMxh+kI4e8yqM22EHfP tBn5Zm1GzoIwTDFKPBKFv7xz66/649hZQTBxWt02D8YaYzGbQxMrhjM3FEDKrYEh pCu0YeC9cSSMIS2GQnEgItSC8Jobrw8CFBAUD1LPUYCv8tQH6c4UN7UeRodxEVxL b9WLDiDW85uVNmb6zextNMQfshVhHQmiEjtm2QclL/+63pO3PIkcu7X10dUes/hD a30O/BXF/Cs9jMonVnfXdrEgbFoSh2bGQZ1HUEkosrq//nQzINddcZvLc/ppKqNJ HsjZejKSEuA+UAsd7SMzHLVGSfBSAhUI4B7PDr6bYsQFTZOA1zi6UJVrP9Y/Secl MdEHT1dsJ7tCbhVlDv3oxaudrbok8AETLLsmrJkNrmo5W993zc/xEMR2kQNHmH2j HzmChk5Vb0fENmt96Tc+JnyGjcbJyc5it9VgCLO4ZDbSSzi29LPfU0I+yJQ5uutz gLqWz9uuD1GXmmC4ULanWhOg8Y+mdnSu3SVpZX8s93OM8v2bG5U= =getB -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --Sig_/eKb08QsTrIAaeolyLFS7sdF--
