The first of the test builds for the 8.2/7.4 Release Cycle is now available for amd64, i386, ia64, pc98, and sparc64 architectures. Files suitable for creating installation media or doing FTP based installs through the network should be on most of the FreeBSD mirror sites. MD5/SHA256 checksums of the images are at the bottom of this message. The ISOs for this build do not include packages other than the docs. For amd64 and i386 "memstick" images are available that can be copied to a USB "memory stick" and used for installs on machines that support booting from that type of media. The target schedule for the releases is available here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.2R/schedule.html http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.4R/schedule.html and the wiki pages tracking the current status of the releases are: http://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/8.2TODO http://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/7.4TODO If you find problems you can report them through the normal Gnats based PR system or here on this mailing list. If you are updating an already running machine the CVS branch tag for 8.2-BETA1 is RELENG_8, for 7.4-BETA1 it is RELENG_7. If you prefer SVN use "stable/8" or "stable/7". Updates done this way will result in a machine that says it is running "8.2-PRERELEASE" or "7.4-PRERELEASE". The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 8.0-RELEASE or 8.1-RELEASE can upgrade as follows: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.2-BETA1 During this process, FreeBSD Update may ask the user to help by merging some configuration files or by confirming that the automatically performed merging was done correctly. # freebsd-update install The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before continuing. # shutdown -r now After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted again: # freebsd-update install # shutdown -r now Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 7.x) can also use freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 8.2-BETA1, but will be prompted to rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., anything installed from the ports tree) after the second invocation of "freebsd-update install", in order to handle differences in the system libraries between FreeBSD 7.x and FreeBSD 8.x. Substitute "7.4-BETA1" for "8.2-BETA1" in the above instructions if you are targeting 7.4-BETA1 instead.
