The Minix archives on bugs.nosc.mil now have upgrade kits for
v1.1-1.2 and v1.2-v1.3 available for anonymous FTP.
They are in compressed tar files and contain scripts
for rearranging stuff that was moved, a global cdiff for patch
to work from, new files, and replacement files,
(for which the diff would be longer than the replacement).

James da Silva (jds@mimsy.umd.edu) also has a 1.1-1.2 upgrade
kit which is better organized and better documented,
but has simple diffs only, no context diffs.  Dial up the Mars
Hotel BBS at +1 301 470 3569.

Also, the repository of articles is separated into two directories, one
for ast, one for the rest of us.  The subjects and sizes
files are similarly split.
