As the next step in the release of FreeBSD 6.4 the FreeBSD 6.4-RC1
builds are now available for testing. This is the first of an expected
two Release Candidates. We encourage you to test out the Release
Candidates, reporting any problems by submitting PRs or via email to the
freebsd-stable list.
The ISO images and FTP install trees are available on the FreeBSD Mirror
sites. Using the primary site as an example:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/${arch}/ISO-IMAGES/6.4/
where ${arch} is one of alpha, amd64, i386, pc98, or sparc64. Checksums
for the ISO images are at the bottom of this messate. The amd64 and
i386 sets include a *preliminary* set of packages, not what is expected
to be included with the release itself. Notably missing is KDE due to
some confusion on my part about exactly what to include. The package
sets included with 6.4-RC2 will be closer to what will be included with
the release.
If you would like to do a source-based update to 6.4-RC1 from an already
installed machine you can update your tree to RELENG_6_4 using normal
cvsup/csup methods. Note that as a somewhat inconvenient side-effect of
the primary FreeBSD source repository now being in SVN the creation of
the RELENG_6_4 branch in the CVS repository wound up checking in a
"new"
version of every file, in some cases only changing the FBSDID. That
will probably make mergemaster a bit tedious. Sorry for the
inconvenience.
The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 6.3-RELEASE or
6.4-BETA can upgrade as follows:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 6.4-RC1
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 neews to be run again to install the new
userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted again:
# freebsd-update install
# shutdown -r now
Note that FreeBSD Update stores downloaded upgrades in /var/db/freebsd-update,
so at least 400MB should be free in /var before running freebsd-update; if
the /var partition is too small, the -d option to freebsd-update can be used
to indicate that the upgrades should be stored in a different directory.
