[gentoo-user] How to find the version of portage before 2005

Hi,

I read this article: https://www.funtoo.org/Making_the_Distribution,_Part_3,
interested in early portage.

But the first commit of portage's git repository was 2005, and no earlier
history can be found.

Does anyone know how to find an earlier svn repository?

Cheers!

I may still have a really old install CD that has it.  I'd have to dig
for it but if that would work, I could find it, get the files needed and
email them to you.  I'm not positive I still have it but would be
willing to look and see.  I think it would be version 1.4 or something. 
That's the Gentoo version from around 2003 which is pretty early on. 

Would that help?

Thank you. This should not contain the complete svn repository, so it is
not what I need.

When I read your message, I thought maybe you were wanting the emerge
command file itself, it's just a python script and rather smallish back
then.  If that's not going to help, I don't know of anything else.  I
only found one CD.  It was a 2 CD set.  The other is likely around here
somewhere.

You can find some history older than in gitweb here:
https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-src/portage/

Not sure if it is old enough for you.

This is my mistake. The portage git repository already contains all history.

At the beginning, I ran "git log" to view the history, and saw that the
earliest commit was 2005.
But to view all commit history, I should run "git log --all".

So I found that the savior branch contains all the information I need.
This branch is the same as
https://sources.gentoo.org/cgi-bin/viewvc.cgi/gentoo-src/portage/

What I need is the early commit history of portage:
https://github.com/gentoo/portage/tree/savior

Thanks,: D
