It is much older than its GitHub repository: the project site says Tom Wetmore wrote it circa 1991-1994 and later placed it under an MIT-style license. ### Projektgeschichte LifeLines grew from early-1990s Unix genealogy software into a community-maintained open-source project. The README credits Thomas T. Wetmore IV as the original author and says the open-source community maintains it. The project site emphasizes GEDCOM storage and scripting. Its report scripts generate ancestor and descendant reports, LaTeX books, PostScript charts, and other genealogy outputs. The NEWS file records later maintenance work: the 3.1.0 stable line moved from SourceForge to GitHub and improved build infrastructure, while the 3.2.0 line targeted a full 64-bit port and Mac OS X support. ### Adoptionsgeschichte LifeLines built a long-running user community around the LINES-L mailing list, which the project site says was established in 1992. Package managers kept it available for users who preferred a scriptable terminal genealogy database instead of GUI-first family-tree programs. ### Wie es verwendet wird Users import or maintain GEDCOM data, browse and edit family records in a text interface, verify databases with dbverify, and run LifeLines report scripts through tools such as llexec. ### Warum Paket-Nerds sich dafür interessieren LifeLines is package-nerd interesting because it preserves a pre-web, terminal-first genealogy workflow in modern package systems. It is also a reminder that package managers carry cultural software, not only developer tools and servers. ### Zeitleiste - 1991-1994: Project site says Tom Wetmore wrote LifeLines during this period. - 1992: Project site says the LINES-L discussion list was established. - 3.0.29: Project site says native language support began for several languages. - 3.1.0: NEWS records the move from SourceForge to GitHub. - 3.2.0: NEWS records full 64-bit port and Mac OS X support work. ### Related projects - Related projects and communities include GEDCOM genealogy data, RootsWeb, LINES-L, report-script collections, SourceForge-era LifeLines hosting, and packaged Unix genealogy tools. ### Quellen - - - - - - ## Sicherheitshinweise narrow executable package without higher-risk signals. - **Geiger-Risiko:** grün / niedrig - narrow executable package without higher-risk signals ## Configuration and credential file locations These source-backed paths show where this package keeps local settings or durable credentials.
