The second of the two planed Release Candidates for the 7.2-RELEASE
cycle is now available. We believe with the exception of the new bce(4)
driver not working with lagg(4) all the major issues that have come up
from the testing have been addressed. We will work with the vendor to
get that issue addressed post-release.
At this point we know of no problems big enough to impact the dates for
the rest of the release cycle which is here:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.2R/schedule.html
We will continue to watch for problems both here on this list and in
Gnats but hopefully nothing so catastrophic will come up that we would
need to alter the schedule.
There is one known issue with 7.2-RC2. We switched from KDE3 to KDE4
and during my tests done before uploading the images a problem with
package dependencies for KDE4 was discovered. The kdemultimedia4
package has audio/lame as a runtime dependency but that package can not
be pre-built due to licensing issues. So the install of kdemultimedia4
fails if you choose to install kde4. The ports folks have been notified
and will make the necessary adjustments before the final release. If
you would like to test KDE4 installed from the media the easiest
approach is most likely this:
- select the kde4 metapackage while installing, during the
initial install it will install most of kde4 but will fail
as mentioned above
- post-install install lame using "make install clean" in
/usr/ports/audio/lame
- insert the install CD, start up sysinstall, and under
"Configure" select "Packages" and have it retry
installing
the kde4 metapackage, it should succeed this time
There are other ways to handle getting KDE4 onto a machine post-install,
the above is just one possible route.
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/7.2/
where ${arch} is one of amd64 i386, ia64, pc98, or powerpc. The
builds for sparc64 just barely finished up and got loaded on
ftp-master so they are not widely available yet but should be
shortly.
Checksums for the ISO images are at the bottom of this message. The
amd64 and i386 sets include what should be the final choice for the
package set.
If you would like to do a source-based update to 7.2-RC2 from an
already installed machine you can update your tree to RELENG_7_2 using
normal cvsup/csup methods.
The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 7.0-RELEASE,
7.1-RELEASE, 7.2-BETA1, or 7.2-RC1 can upgrade as follows:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.2-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, and the system needs to be rebooted again:
# freebsd-update install
# shutdown -r now
Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 6.x) can also use freebsd-update to
upgrade to FreeBSD 7.2-RC2, but will be prompted to rebuild all third-party
applications (e.g., anything installed from the ports tree) after the second
invocation of "freebsd-update install", in order to handle differences
in the
system libraries between FreeBSD 6.x and FreeBSD 7.x.
