Where each version was rescued from
Source: docs/history/sources.md
The Rogue lineage was not preserved by any one institution. The versions collected here were reconstructed from a patchwork of sources, each with its own provenance.
BSD CSRG distribution discs
Kirk McKusick's CSRG CDROM set preserves the canonical BSD source and binary trees. Several Rogue versions were extracted directly from those discs:
| Version | BSD source | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Rogue 3.6 | 4.1BSD (reconstructed) | TUHS Archive distribution |
| Rogue 3.6 | 2.9BSD, 2.9pucc | Disc 1 |
| Rogue 5.2 | 4.1c.2 | Disc 1 |
| Rogue 5.4 | 4.3BSD | Disc 1; full source tree |
| Rogue 5.4 | 2.10BSD | Disc 1 |

Personal correspondence
Critical to the project — several versions exist only because their original authors mailed in tapes, tarballs, or floppy images:
- Aydin Edguer — Rogue 3.6 NMT, Rogue 5.2 NMT.
- Herb Chong — UltraRogue source, 1992.
- Robert Pietkivitch — XRogue source, 1996.
- Robert D. Kindelberger — Super-Rogue 9.0 source, 2004.
- Ken Arnold — Rogue 5.4 SourceForge releases.
The SourceForge era
The project was registered as SourceForge project group_id=4895 and ran
for many years before the migration to a self-hosted Trac/Subversion
instance at rogue.rogueforge.net/trac/, and now to GitHub.
