“Michael Marineau announced an updated version of the Linux
Kernel Graphing Project, now known as the Free Code Graphing
Project. The original code was written by Rusty Russell and used to
generate ‘a graph of all the .c files in the 2.4.0 Linux kernel:
each function graphically represented and named, resulting in 180MB
of PostScript.’

“Michael has long since taken over the project, recently
releasing the first new version in a few years explaining, ‘over
the past few months I’ve slowly gotten the old code base updated to
work cleanly on 2.6 kernels as well as being usable on kernels as
old as 1.2 :-)'”
