The second BETA build of the 9.0-RELEASE release cycle is now available. Since this is the first release of a brand new branch I cross-post the announcements on both -current and -stable. But just so you know most of the developers active in head pay more attention to the -current mailing list. If you notice problems you can report them through the normal Gnats PR system or on the -current mailing list. The 9.0-RELEASE cycle will be tracked here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/9.0TODO though the schedule listed there is now way off. BETA1 and some other factors caused a lot of activity. We'll re-work the schedule some time soon. NOTE: The location of the FTP install tree and ISOs have changed slightly. What we used for BETA2 reflects a directory structure that would let us fully utilize building and distributing a wider variety of architectures, based on this: farrell 1 % cd /usr/src farrell 2 % make targets Supported TARGET/TARGET_ARCH pairs for world and kernel targets amd64/amd64 arm/arm arm/armeb i386/i386 ia64/ia64 mips/mipsel mips/mipseb mips/mips64el mips/mips64eb mips/mipsn32eb pc98/i386 powerpc/powerpc powerpc/powerpc64 sparc64/sparc64 farrell 3 % However we currently, and likely will never, do builds of everything. The new layout does add a some extra complexity. So we're actively discussing whether or not to change the layout from previous releases, and if we do change it whether or not to change it this much... What's there now can be viewed as an almost "worst case" scenario (one of the possibilities being discussed includes having both $TARGET and $TARGET_ARCH in the filenames). It's entirely possible we'll back off and revert to the old layout despite that layout potentially limiting what we can do with the new build infrastructure. ISO images for the following architectures are available, with pathnames given relative to the top-level of the FTP site: amd64: .../releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/ i386: .../releases/i386/i386/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/ powerpc: .../releases/powerpc/powerpc/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/ powerpc64: .../releases/powerpc/powerpc64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/ sparc64: .../releases/sparc64/sparc64/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/ Due to a bug that crept in just before BETA2 the ia64 architecture builds failed. That bug has since been fixed. MD5/SHA256 checksums are tacked on below. In addition to lots of bugfixes and a few new things that crept in since BETA1 we have done what we hope will be the final bump of versions for the non-symbol-versioned system libraries. This time we did not bump the version of every non-symbol-versioned library, we just did the ones that had an API and/or ABI change. As before one of the many new features of 9.0 we would like tested is the new installer, so fresh installs on test systems are encouraged. The shift in the directory layout described above is in part due to the new installer. FTP-based installs of BETA1 would have failed, as-is the new installer expects this for where to find the FTP install trees: .../releases/`uname -m`/`uname -p`/`uname -r` We're discussing whether or not the ISO images need to tag along with the FTP install bits to these sub-directories as part of the re-structuring, etc. If you would like to use csup/cvsup mechanisms to access the source tree the branch tag to use is "." (head). If you would like to access the source tree via SVN it is "svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/head/". At this time FreeBSD-Update is not available, in part to help encourage testing the installer.
