The second RC build of the 8.4-RELEASE release cycle is now available
on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, and pc98 architectures. The
SHA256/MD5 sums are tacked on to the bottom of this message. The ISO
images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick images
are available here:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/8.4/
(or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites).
If you notice problems you can report them through the normal GNATS PR
system or here on the -stable mailing list.
If you would like to use SVN to do a source based update of an existing
system use "releng/8.4". If you would like to use csup/cvsup
mechanisms
instead the branch tag to use is "RELENG_8_4".
Please be aware that cvsup and CVS are both deprecated, and while
upgrades using CVS or cvsup may work now they will not be supported for
security updates through the life of 8.4.
Changes between -RC1 and -RC2 include:
- Fix a UDP-related crash triggered by high-load UDP services
- Fix a ZFS-related hang causing systems to hang at "All buffers
synced",
forcing a hard-reset
The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running earlier
FreeBSD releases can upgrade as follows:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.4-RC2
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:
# freebsd-update install
It is recommended to rebuild and install all applications if possible,
especially if upgrading from an earlier FreeBSD release, for example,
FreeBSD 7.x. Alternatively, the user can install misc/compat7x and other
compatibility libraries, afterwards the system must be rebooted into the
new userland:
# shutdown -r now
Finally, after rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to remove
stale files:
# freebsd-update install
