1 Stow was written by Bob Glickstein <bobg+stow@zanshin.com>, Zanshin
4 Contributions from Gord Matzigkeit <gord@enci.ucalgary.ca>.
6 John Bazik wrote `fastcwd', the Perl subroutine for computing the
7 current working directory.
9 Charles Briscoe-Smith <cpbs@debian.org> wrote the fix to prevent
10 stow -D / stow -R removing initially-empty directories.
12 Adam Lackorzynski <al10@inf.tu-dresden.de> wrote the fix to prevente
13 the generation of wrong links if there are links in the stow directory.
15 Stow was maintained by Guillaume Morin <gmorin@gnu.org> up to November 2007.
17 Kahlil (Kal) Hodgson <kahlil@internode.on.net> performed a major rewrite
20 1. defered operations,
21 2. option parsing via Getopt::Long,
22 3. options to support shared files,
23 4. support for multiple operations per invocation,
24 5. default command line arguments via '.stowrc' and '~/.stowrc' files,
25 6. better cooperation between multiple stow directories,
26 7. a test suite (and support code) to ensure that everything still works.
28 As these changes required a dramatic reorganisation of the code, very little
29 was left untouched, and so stows major version was bumped up to version 2.
31 Austin Wood <austin.wood@rmit.edu.au> and Chris Hoobin
32 <christopher.hoobin@rmit.edu.au> helped clean up the documentation for
33 version 2 and created the texi2man script.
35 Stow is currently maintained by Kahlil (Kal) Hodgson <kahlil@internode.on.net>.
