Yes it is possible to have multiple versions! I have updated the website to have from 2.26 -> 2.36 under manual e.g. https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/2.35/ for glibc-2.35. There are now 5 years of manuals on the website. Please tell me if that helps or if you or someone else needs an older version online and we can make that happen. Future updates will use the new script and should just add to that. If someone knows the magic way to get the new CSS like GNU Make has: https://www.gnu.org/software/make/manual/make.html, then I'll happily regenerate all the manuals. -- Cheers, Carlos.
