Oxcart: The Software Application That Revolutionized Linux Kernel Development

Oxcart was a software application that was used to manage and distribute the Linux kernel source code. It was developed by Eric Raymond and was first released in 1996. Oxcart was designed to be a more efficient and organized way of managing the Linux kernel source code, which had grown significantly in size and complexity over the years.

Oxcart provided several features that made it easier for developers to work with the Linux kernel source code, including:

* A web-based interface for browsing and downloading the source code
* Automated tools for building and testing the kernel
* Support for multiple versions of the kernel
* Integration with other development tools, such as CVS and Git

Oxcart was widely used by the Linux community and was an important part of the development process for many years. However, it has not been actively maintained or developed since around 2005, and it is no longer in use today.
