All, Wanted to let everyone know that the testing on RC1 has gone well enough that we've decided to skip RC2 and go straight to 6.0-RELEASE. Everyone that we have talked to has applauded the stability and functionality of the system, so we are really pleased and really eager to wrap it up and get it out to everyone. Over the next 24 hours we will be synchronizing the RELENG_6_0 tree to get in all of the appropriate bug fixes, then we will do some test builds as a final verification. Everyone is still welcome to update their sources on the RELENG_6_0 branch and provide feedback for the next 48 hours or so. The release will likely be announced by the end of the weekend or early next week, at the latest. Scott

Congratulations!
What about Gleb Smirnoff NFS locking leak patch ? I put it on production, everything works just fine. The question is: this patch will be merged to main source tree for 6.0-RELEASE ?

I'm happy to hear that many bugs were fixed. :) But speedtouch usb modem still doesn't work with betas and last rc1. I submitted this some month ago: http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=usb/83504

I did compile the latest kernel (after a cvsup on src-sys*) and X.org still reboots my machine if I enable the SiS driver. -- openglx@StarByte.net

This includes current RELENG_6_0. Marc -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
