I managed to spot the commits where releases were created and I added commits to those. The resulting repository can be found here: https://github.com/filbranden/numactl Some caveats about applying the patches: - History before 1.0.2 is only from the FTP archives, so I only stored the imports. - Release 1.0.3 (which unpacks to 1.0.3-rc2) did not match a patch exactly, I believe a patch was reworked after the release, I decided to skip this release and go straight to 2.0.0 - When not available from the patch, I tried to guess timestamps based on the date of the patch (or when unpacking tarballs, the timestamp of the "." directory inside the tarball.) - In most cases I could guess the author of the patch, when I could not I used either Andi or Cliff, whoever was the maintainer at the time. - (Patch 1210_bg_numastat did not mention author, I guessed this was the same bg from 1407_bg_numactl_show and assigned it to Bill Gray.) - (Patch 0811_dr_compat had an e-mail conversation with Daniel [Gollub] but there was no e-mail address so I attributed it to Cliff.) - Release 2.0.6 included patch 1010_cw_numa_get_run_node_mask which was later reverted, I did apply it and later reverted it in git to reproduce that case. Furthermore: - I kept the permissions of the files sane, *.c, *.h, Makefile, versions.ldscript, man pages, etc., were kept non-executable even when at some point they were shipped with executable bit set. - I kept the "head" file and the "test/move_pages" binary out of the repository since I believe they should never have been distributed in the first place. - I also did not keep patches.tar.gz in the git archive since the git history supplements it. There are two branches, "imports" is the straight import of each tarball while "master" goes through the patches starting at release 1.0.2. There are tags for all the releases (except for 1.0.3-rc2 as mentioned above.) Please take a look and let me know what you think and if you'd like me to do some adjustments. If you'd like to move it to somewhere more official (e.g. under git.kernel.org or somewhere in oss.sgi.com) you should feel free to do it, that's why I did this. (The main reason I posted it to GitHub was to make it easy to share it here.) Cheers!
