The 7.0-BETA2 builds have completed and are on many of the FreeBSD mirror sites. If you want to update an existing machine using cvsup use RELENG_7 as the branch tag. Instructions on using FreeBSD Update to perform a binary upgrade from FreeBSD 6.x to 7.0-BETA2 will be provided via the freebsd-stable list when available.

Is there a changelog to see what has changed since BETA1? If so, would you please consider linking to it in future announcements? Thanks a lot :-)

The debugging options are removed early in the beta cycle when the branch occurs, not at the end right before release. Kris

They have a better overview of what is going on each version. Tom

I see so many obvious bugs and human errors during release builds. Where is quality assurance or release engineering? It smells more like ALPHA development not proper releasing... IMHO

FreeBSD 7.0-BETA2 Available - regression in unionfs+cd9660

The setup is like this: / - on cd9660, read-only /tmp - mdmfs /tmp/etc - just a directory "mount_unionfs /tmp/etc /etc" fails with the message "/etc: operation not supported by the device". This worked fine in BETA1 but fails in BETA2, built yesterday. I don't see in cvs logs what could provoke this bug, my possible candidates are vfs_mount.c by rodrigc and possibly maybe the big commit by rwatson (trustedbsd). -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...

Thanks! Worked beautifully updating to 7.0-BETA2. The freebsd-update that was in my 7.0-Beta1.5 did not have the upgrade ability like I guess it should have, your script worked exactly as advertised though. -- Dario Perovich WebNX.com
