[comp.os.minix] 1.2-1.3 diffs and Archive changes

broman@schroeder.nosc.mil (Vincent Broman) (10/20/88)

EMail access to the Minix archives on bugs.nosc.mil is suspended for
the present.  Sorry.  This is partly due to mailer unreliability,
and also problems with disk space.  FTP access is still there, so get
friendly with an Arpanaut.  The archives may someday move to my
workstation on schroeder.nosc.mil, if Apollo ever gets around to
fixing their ftpd.  I still occasionally agree to write on tapes sent
to me with (USPS) return mailers, but I don't hurry, even if you're in
a hurry.

The Subject index for articles will get slightly reorganized, but
don't expect very much more than grep Subject: *.  The archive
is also being split into more directories.

I have prepared a complete source update package for v1.2-v1.3 .
These are diffs, new files, and replacement files, along with a mostly
correct sh script for the mv'inf, mkdir'ing, rm'ing, and ln'ing,
needed in advance of applying the rest of the update.  Not all the
text files copied from /etc to minix/tools are correct.  Makefiles
containing ^G's don't.  Make sure that the linked include files are
updated exactly once.  This pkg is being put into the archive.

If someone offers sufficient (non-monetary) encouragement, I might
hasten creation of a 1.1-1.2 update.
