Andrew Cagney has informed me that he has regenerated his 1.3 to 1.5.10
upgrade kit, specifically:
1. It contains the 1.5.0 doc & man directories
2. It contains patches for some of the st directories
the following are still missing (I still have bad st1.1 sources)
src/lib
src/kernel
include
include/minix
lib
However the *commands* are all there :-) along with plenty others.
3. Because of point 2. the files have moved to upgrades/1.5/*
4. The KIT has been split into two parts:
upgrades/KIT
upgrades/KIT_2
(note: for some reason, the latter is zero-length)
5. The programs (pam ccrc extra) that go with the upgrade kit have not
been tested on a st
6. Every thing is now compressed -b13
7. How things are packed has changed a little, each archive group now
also has a crc listing of the archive contents.
These bits are on ftp.adelaide.edu.au in "pub/minix/upgrades/1.5" and
plains.nodak.edu [134.129.111.64] in pub/Minix/updates/1.5. Also look in
the "upgrades" or "updates" directory for other info.

Also: The old upgrade kits on Plains are being cleaned out.
