Tracker History Graphing

Tracker dependencies are described in the source files named after tracker families such as Protracker, Noisetracker or Startrekker. Each tracker is a node in the graph, and the edges show the relationship between tracker releases.

You can obtain the latest version of the tracker history files at http://helllabs.org/tracker-history/. A git repository is also available, you can get it with

git clone git://github.com/cmatsuoka/tracker-history.git

If you add new nodes or fix errors in the existing nodes, please send the patches or new files to cmatsuoka@gmail.com.

Source files are converted to Graphviz dotfiles using a modified version of Warren Toomey's 'todot' script for the Unix History Graphing Project at http://minnie.tuhs.org/Unix_History/. Graphviz is a graph visualization software package available at http://www.graphviz.org/.

Source files and resulting dotfiles are released to the public domain and may be freely reproduced, distributed, transmitted, used or modified by anyone for any purpose, commercial or non-commercial. The todot script is Copyrighted by Warren Toomey and modified by Claudio Matsuoka, and subject to license restrictions from the original Unix History Graphing Project todot script.

Source file format:

: Name: Author: Date: Comment: Based on [ ] [ ] Influenced by [ ] [ ] Please indicate the source of information for the entries, especially release dates or influences. 'Based on' indicates that the current release is based on the codebase of the listed release. 'Influenced by', on the other hand, implies that there is no significant code shared between the two releases (example: UNIS669 is influenced by, but not based on, Composer 669). Enhancements from the previous release can be listed after the release nickname or optional node weight, enclosed in [ ]. 'Influenced by' should be used when there is explicit influence mentioned in the tracker documentation (or by the tracker author), or when there is an obvious influence of a tracker on another (example: MED was influenced by Soundtracker VI as mentioned in the docs, or the visible influence of Scream Tracker 3 on the design of the Impulse Tracker interface). Influences can be listed after the release nickname or optional node weight, enclosed in [ ].
