Subject: old versions of the glibc manual
Date: Fri, 28 Oct 2022 23:46:03 -0600 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <83478ad8-affd-921f-984d-95b55f9d0f9d@codesourcery.com> (raw)
Someone recently contacted me via my personal e-mail address, and asked
"Why is it impossible to find documentation for the older versions of
the glibc?"
Indeed https://www.gnu.org/software/libc/manual/ lists only the latest
version. Is it possible to have links to multiple versions, as e.g. GCC
does? Or just build a separate documentation tarball as part of the
release process? Either way, messing around with the web site and/or
release scripts is kind of out of my league, but perhaps someone
familiar with those things could consider this is an enhancement?
