I use Fedora 1 and Ubuntu 4 for\nregression tests for some other libraries. It is easier to use the old\ndistros then building old GCC's and glibc's on modern platforms.\n\nGit has some problems with some self tests, but they are few. For\nexample, 29 self tests fail on Fedora 1. I don't think it is worth\npursuing Python 2.2 or Perl 5.8 problems.\n\nAll the basic commands I use, like clone, checkout and pull, work as expected.\n\nJeff\n"},{"id":"379113","messageId":"xmqqsgr1vnqe.fsf@gitster-ct.c.googlers.com","threadId":"51499","inReplyTo":"CAH8yC8mcgMh=rjASqePeNZSRoWxBHz7+bKpDoK7ojP=DyOgrtA@mail.gmail.com","subject":"Re: Fedora 1 and Ubuntu 4","fromName":"Junio C Hamano","fromEmail":"gitster@pobox.com","sentAt":"2019-07-19T19:16:41Z","receivedAt":"2019-07-19T19:16:49Z","isPatch":false,"sender":{"key":"gitster@pobox.com","avatar":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/54884?v=4"},"body":"Jeffrey Walton <noloader@gmail.com> writes:\n\n> Just wanted to drop a quick note and let everyone know that Git 2.20.1\n> builds on both Fedora 1 and Ubuntu 4.
