Today I found out that the source of ifup, one of the common tools that are used to bring up an interface in Linux is done using Literate Programming.

That is until the commit https://bitbucket.org/ifupdown/ifupdown/commits/eb636614476b7f9af64620fe8f298d2f03abf7ce where all the literate source was deleted to preserve only C files in the repo.

I don't understand, but importing the files to Github until they were literate for now..

It is amazing that this works:

emacs --version
