[Onorato Vaticone]

Hi all,

I'd like to get (git ? download ? ) the minix source code. Where can I get it ? 

thanks.

Assuming you have not MINIX running, read
http://wiki.minix3.org/en/DevelopersGuide/UsingGit as a "community
member" and discard any remark about "pkgin" or anything MINIX-specific.

And yes, you need git installed on your machine to do that.

The alternative path only works with Linux and is not supported AFAIK:
download the .iso, use fdisk(1) or some MBR partitioning program on it
to learn where the 3rd partition starts, then virtually mount that
partition (i.e. with offset) as minixfs: the source code is at /mnt/src.
I guess you'll prefer the git way. ;-)

There is yet another alternative; download a git snapshot from the git
webinterface http://git.minix3.org/?p=minix.git;a=summary. You'll get a
.tgz file of the complete source tree of any given commit.

Thanks,

The server is (or seems) down. It undoubtly will turn back.

In the mean while, you can use one of the mirrors.
There is an official mirror at http://github.com/minix3/minix.
There are also a number of unofficial ones.

Dear all,

It seems the server was buckling under search engine crawling load. If that was the problem, the new .htaccess and robots.txt should've fixed that problem for good.
