Hi,

the author of the LaTeX-package "KOMA-Script" (Markus Kohm) asked on the usenet in de.comp.text.tex for old versions of his package (he's lost his old data). In Slackware it is in the t-series.
I could verify that the package was not included in Slackware 2.01 from 1994.
Now the question is, does anyone know in which version of Slackware KOMA-Script appeard first? and which version of KOMA-Script was the first to appear in Slackware? are there old changelogs available?
Is there any mirror where such old versions (after 2.01) are hosted?
Here the latest posting
It would be very nice if someone could help.

Thanks in advance, regards

Markus

All the old versions are there.

Alien Bob's mirror also carries a couple of older versions of Slackware than those available on the main mirrors: http://taper.alienbase.nl/mirrors/slackware/

Thanks for your help, I've found out that early versions of KOMA-Script did not appear in Slackware. In Slackware-3.0 it was not yet included and since Slackware-3.1 it was included, but a version from 1996 which is not old enough.

If anyone knows about a mirror with old versions (earlier than 1996) of TeX (teTex) it would be helpful to know about that.

Just found this, goes back to v0.2 (Slackware started with v0.4)

Thanks again, a very helpful link.

It seems they have only a filelist for that version. But it shows that the desired file is in an archive named teTeX-0.3-lib.tar.gz
it would be great to find a mirror which hosts it, but google brought no success.

There's 3.3 here http://ftp.osuosl.org/pub/slackware/

Um, is this not a good place ? http://ftp.tug.org/historic/systems/...X-0.3/distrib/ It seems to have the source for that package; would that work.

Sorry if I'm wrong or too late. I simply asked the oracle.

PS - There's also http://ftp.tug.org/historic/systems/...strib/sources/ which seems to have the teTeX-lib

@ozanbaba: as I wrote above it turned out, that the desired version of the package has never been in any Slackware-release.

@rinias: yes, that's the mirror where wildwizard pointed to in the above post. But they have only a filelist for the lib-file. The sources are the sourcecode for TeX, Donald-Knuth's typesetting-system. Latex is an archive of macros which work with TeX and these macros are not in the sources but in the lib-archive which would be teTeX-0.3-lib.tar.gz or earlier, any version 0.2 but later than 1993.

Some earlier versions of Slack, included on CD the Sunsite archives which, IIRC, had lots of stuff not necessarily specific to the distro. I don't have any to hand but just wondered if it be in there?
