This is a convenience release targeted primarily at people who have
not yet upgraded to FreeBSD 1.1.5R. It fixes a couple of trivial but
annoying problems in the release process (not the sources themselves).
gatekeeper.dec.com:~ftp/pub/BSD/FreeBSD/FreeBSD-1.1.5.1-RELEASE
Those who have already upgraded to 1.1.5R should read the
`WHATS_NEW-1.1.5.1' file for information on what steps to take to come
up to the level of 1.1.5.1R (they're very simple, don't panic).
Thanks!

Yes, it's a point release only 3 days after the last one! 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

What's new in 1.1.5? Well... Let's try and count the ways..
-- KERNEL IMPROVEMENTS SINCE FreeBSD 1.1 --
1) Bounce buffers. This allows systems to use bus master ISA controllers
in systems with more than 16MB of memory.
2) VM performance improvements. Many new enhancements to the Mach derived
VM system including page table preloading (dramatically reduces page
faults); page usage statistics gathering (improves page replacement
thus reducing thrashing); clustered page-ins and page-outs (reduces
paging I/O overhead).
3) Overall kernel performance improvements. Some critical functions have
been inlined; the trap, pmap, and other critical code has been
optimized, etc.
4) Improved scheduling algorithm. Improves interactive performance on
busy machines, expecially in cases where lots of software builds are
occurring.
5) Disk I/O clustering. Improves the I/O speed dramatically on most disk
drives.
6) Vastly superior optional floating point emulator from Bill Metzenthen.
Faster and more reliable/accurate/complete emulation and has fewer bugs.
Provided as an option in the kernel (the original emulator is still
the default).
7) IP Multicast support. Allows reception of Internet multicast packets.
8) Improved sound support. Version 2.5 of Hannu Savolainen's VoxWare sound
drivers. Supports SoundBlaster, PAS, GUS, and other common sound boards.
9) New device support for the Seagate ST01/ST02 and Future Domain 950 SCSI
adapters.
10) X10 device driver from Gene Stark for X-10 style remote power control.
(such as Radio Shack "Plug 'n Power")
11) PS/2 mouse driver from Erik Forsberg.
12) Busmouse driver from Rick Macklem.
13) IBM/National PCMCIA ethernet driver from Keith Moore.
14) Improved floppy driver support.
15) Much improved syscons driver (now default) with user-editable ascii
keymaps and many other new features.
16) Many improvements and fixes to nearly every supported device driver.
17) Many improvements and fixes scattered throughout the kernel.
18) New pcaudio driver allows `Sun style' .au files to be played through the
speaker.
19) Substantial changes in sio for supporting multiport and bidirectional
comms. Please see the sio man page for details.
-- USER CODE IMPROVEMENTS SINCE FreeBSD 1.1 --
1) Man pages now compressed by default, saving quite a bit of space for
small configurations.
2) S/Key one-time password support for enhanced network security.
3) Many many bug fixes and miscellaneous enhancements.
4) Sun math library now available for faster FPU support (see #5).
5) New /etc/make.conf mechanism allows users to tailor how their systems
are built (from source) and switch various options on and off.
6) C++ shared libs are now fully supported (and libg++ shared by default).
7) The programs `vidcontrol' and `kbdcontrol' replace the old `syscons'.
