Subject: Master update kit for 2.11BSD (#80)
Index: many/many 2.11BSD
Description:
A master update kit has been created which will bring a base 2.11BSD
distribution up to the current revision level (#78). There is one
later patch (#79) which is a trivial update to 'tftp', but it was
made after this kit and so was not included.
Repeat-By:
Not applicable in this case.
Fix:
There are two files available for anonymous ftp from
WLV.IIPO.GTEGSC.COM:
pub/2.11BSD/big_patch_kit.tar
and
pub/2.11BSD/patches1-79.tar.Z
The README file from "big_patch_kit.tar" is included below.
The patches1-79.tar.Z file contains the tar+compressed individual
patch files posted over the last couple years. This file does not
contain the additional files added to the system (tcsh, decompr16,
etc).
If these files need to be mailed be sure your mailer can handle
_large_ transfers.
================================README====================================
This tar file contains all the necessary new, updated, or relocated
files to bring a base 2.11BSD distribution up to patch level 78.
The included files are:
README - this file.
root.step1 - this is a shell script which renames 'ttyk0' (the second DL-11
port on 11/73 systems) to 'ttyl0', creates the 'e' link to 'ed'
and runs the "patch" program to apply the root_patch update.
root_patch - context diffs for files on the root filesystem. /etc/disktab
and /dev/MAKEDEV are updated.
usr.step1 - a shell script which prepares the /usr file system for the
updates in step2 and step3. Most of the activity in step1
involves renaming files which were either in the wrong place,
have changed location or were corrupt in the initial release
of 2.11BSD.
usr.step2 - this shell script extracts from /usr/tmp/usr.update.tar files
which are new since 2.11BSD was released. The ported version
of 'tcsh' accounts for much of the size of this file.
Included in the tar file are TOY clock support for the 11/93
and 11/94, the C cross reference utility 'cxref', the MS-DOS
utility 'mtools', a "trace" program which examines buffer
cache statistics and new "spl" ed scripts which take advantage
of the KDJ-11's extra instructions.
NOTE: usr.step2 assumes that the file usr.update.tar.Z
was uncompressed into /usr/tmp/update.tar.
IF this is not correct then please edit usr.step2
to reflect the proper location - this is necessary
because usr.step2 does a "cd /usr" before running the
tar extract.
usr.step3 - A script which applies the patches from the files 'xaa', 'xab',
'xac' ... 'xar'. The patch files are assumed to be in the
current directory.
usr.update.tar.Z - a compressed tar file (made with partial pathnames,
no leading /usr) of new and changed files to be installed in
/usr.
patches.tar.Z - a file containing the patches to be applied to files in
the /usr filesystem. All previous updates and file
extractions must be done before the patching can be
performed successfully.
Some time after performing the patching you will want to
"find / -name '*~' to remove files created by the patch program.
Also, some of the updates affect the standalone boot program, the
kernel and the disk partition rules - it would be a good idea
to read over the updates to get an idea what is happening. Another
good idea would be to back up the current system before applying
the update kit.
This "kit" may be obtained by anonymous ftp to WLV.IIPO.GTEGSC.COM
(192.26.147.1 or 192.73.3.1), cd into the directory pub/2.11BSD, get
(in binary mode) the file "big_patch_kit.tar". This file itself
is _not_ compressed, rather it contains files which need to be
expanded after extraction.
The complete "bug reports" (numbers 1 thru 79) are also available
via anonymous ftp. In the directory pub/2.11BSD there is the file
patches1-79.Z which contains the full bug reports along with the
updates.
