Old versions of Sage

[Jeroen Demeyer]

Where are the sources for old versions of Sage?

The following link (which used to contain them) is broken:

Where are the sources for old versions of Sage?

Good news: they are not lost, we can get them from the git repository :-P

P.S.: If you have never had an occasion to see Sage's first commit....

Heh!   What's the oldest version of sage somebody can build?

On boxen:
----------------------------------------------------------------------
| Sage Version 5.0, Release Date: 2012-05-14 |
| Type notebook() for the GUI, and license() for information. |
----------------------------------------------------------------------

(older versions don't work because of crypto/TLS related problems)

I really hope you are kidding, because the git repo is certainly not
enough to reconstruct all old Sage sources.

Phew! I had the same reaction as Jeroen.

Oh? What's missing? The standard packages?

...and everything else which used to be in the tarball that isn't versioned.

[mmarco]

I just made a graph of the evolution of the size of the tarballs.... and ther is a huge peak at v6.4 and 6.4.1.... what happened there?

I think we didn't scrub the git temporary stuff as much as we could

[David Einstein]

I recently tried building 6.5 by doing 

make distclean

git checkout 6.5

make

which promptly failed when trying to download packages.

Is there a better way to do this? 

Looking at some #18077, it would help to get things back to a state where things worked.
