A new record +for us! :-) In general, this is NOT something we'd actually generally do +but 1.1.5 is a special case, being our last release for this branch and one +likely to be used for some time. It's worth-while to make sure that as many +of the obvious stumbling blocks are removed, if only to reduce our question +load! :) + +Those of you who are staring at this release in indisguised horror after +downloading the entire 1.1.5R release need not worry - upgrading from +1.1.5R to 1.1.5.1R is easy, and I'll show this step by step as I document +each change below. + + +List of (reported) problems fixed: +---------------------------------- + +PROBLEM 1: Telnet/rlogin/su falls over with: + ld.so: vi: libcrypt.so.1.1: No such file or directory + +CAUSE: During the `non-crypt' build only the libcrypt.a library was removed, +leaving a dependency on libcrypt.so.1.1. This library is not shipped with +the exportable release, for obvious reasons. + +FIX FOR 1.1.5R USERS: 1.1.5R users must install the secrdist. In the U.S., +this is easy - just install the one provided with 1.1.5R and skip ahead to +problem 2 since the rest that follows is for non-domestic users only. + +Abroad, this is a little harder in that users must grab one of the `foreign' +secrdists from one of the following two sites: + + South Africa: braae.ru.ac.za:/pub/FreeBSD/securedist/ + owl.und.ac.za (currently uncertain) + Iceland: ftp.veda.is:/pub/crypt/FreeBSD/ + +These secrdists are compiled for FreeBSD 1.1R, and as such have a shared +library revision number of 1.0 for libcrypt. This library has NOT changed, +so what I recommend is NOT to install the entire secrdist using the EXTRACT +script, but to simply do the following in a temporary directory somewhere: + + Extract the des tarball as follows: + + cat des_tgz.a* | tar xvzf - + + Move the 1.1 libcrypt shared library (which has NOT changed, despite the + version number bump) into place like so: + + mv usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1.0 /usr/lib/libcrypt.so.1.1 + +This will leave you a full set of 1.1.5R binaries and a working crypt library. + + +PROBLEM 2: Installation onto wd1 fails after insertion of filesystem disk. + +CAUSE: The filesystem floppy didn't have device entries for wd1, making + installations onto the second drive fail for IDE drives (it works + for SCSI drives, which were my test case :-( ). + +FIX FOR 1.1.5R USERS: Just grab the filesystem floppy from 1.1.5.1R. + + +PROBLEM 3: There are .o files in the sys.* collection of the srcdist. + +CAUSE: The src-tarball target in the installation procedure forgot to + clean the GENERIC* kernels out before bunding! :( + +FIX FOR 1.1.5R USERS: If you've already grabbed it, don't sweat it - just +remove the extra files and be happy! If not (say you've already grabbed +the 1.1.5R bindist but not the srcdist), then simply grab the 1.1.5.1R +srcdist. + + +PROBLEM 4: EXTRACT.sh in the srcdist can't find the `bin.*' files. + +CAUSE: I moved the bin.aa and bin.ab files to srcbin.aa and srcbin.ab + in order to avoid problems with the `extract' command, but forgot + to update the EXTRACT.sh script. + +FIX FOR 1.1.5R USERS: Simply use the `extract' command on srcbin, or +edit the EXTRACT.sh script to look for srcbin.* instead of bin.* (it's +the second extract from the top, after base.*). You can also simply grab the +EXTRACT.sh file from 1.1.5.1's srcdist. + + +PROBLEM 5: Kerberos source code missing. + +CAUSE: This wasn't really a problem so much as a deliberate omission. + Kerberos support was never fully integrated from the binary + distribution point of view and my initial decision was to + simply leave it out. I've since reconsidered this decision somewhat + and decided to make the drop-in sources available at least since + there's no harm in doing so and they work quite well. This is, of + course, encription software subject to the SAME EXPORT RESTRICTIONS + as the DES code. Do NOT grab the secrdist distribution if you're + outside the U.S.! + +FIX FOR 1.1.5R USERS: Grab the 1.1.5.1 secrdist. + +That's it! See, I told you it wasn't so bad! :-) Of purely academic +interest will probably also be the changes to /usr/src/etc/Makefile +I had to make to fix all the problems above (these were ALL release +problems, not source problems). I'll be including a diff in this +directory shortly. + +Thanks, and sorry for the inconvenience some of these problems may have +caused 1.1.5R users! + + Jordan + +$FreeBSD$ Index: head/en_US.ISO8859-1/htdocs/releases/1.1.5/Makefile =================================================================== --- head/en_US.ISO8859-1/htdocs/releases/1.1.5/Makefile +++ head/en_US.ISO8859-1/htdocs/releases/1.1.5/Makefile @@ -10,6 +10,6 @@ DATA= CONTRIB.386BSD CONTRIB.FreeBSD COPYRIGHT.386BSD DATA+= COPYRIGHT.FreeBSD COPYRIGHT.USL KNOWNBUGS MIRROR.SITES DATA+= PERSONAL.ACKS REGISTER.FreeBSD RELNOTES.FreeBSD ROSTER.FreeBSD -DATA+= SUPPORT.TXT TODO-1.1.5 +DATA+= SUPPORT.TXT TODO-1.1.5 WHATS_NEW-1.1.5 .include "${DOC_PREFIX}/share/mk/web.site.mk" Index: head/en_US.ISO8859-1/htdocs/releases/1.1.5/WHATS_NEW-1.1.5 =================================================================== --- head/en_US.ISO8859-1/htdocs/releases/1.1.5/WHATS_NEW-1.1.5 +++ head/en_US.ISO8859-1/htdocs/releases/1.1.5/WHATS_NEW-1.1.5 @@ -0,0 +1,80 @@ +What's new in 1.1.5?
