I've managed to setup an automated pipeline for applying all patches sequentially, producing a new disk image after each one. This has been built as a GitHub workflow, and the images are then pushed up to an S3 bucket for others to use. https://github.com/AaronJackson/2.11BSD-Action At the very least, it is confirmation and verification that the released patches can be applied sequentially, and each one leaves the system in a bootable state, if applied correctly. I've also been applying the patches to a fork of the source tree on GitHub which Warner Losh created (maybe after this email thread). I've been doing this in the patch-apply2023 branch but it's a bit of a mess at the moment and doesn't build. The repo also includes an IBV11 card driver which I wrote with the help of Toby Thain. I'm not sure whether Steven would welcome patches for new features, rather than bug fixes, but I'd be happy to generate a patch file if others wanted to control their "modern" test gear from their PDP11. https://github.com/AaronJackson/2.11BSD At some point I'm planning to automate the process of generating the installation tapes for each patch level. Not got round to this though, yet - although it's Easter weekend, so I might have a play. Cheers, Aaron -- https://aaronsplace.co.uk
