The third of the BETA builds for the FreeBSD-8.0 release cycle is now
available. All major work related to new features in 8.0 has been
completed and we are shifting into "bugfix only" mode for the balance
of
the release cycle. Debugging features (e.g. WITNESS) are still enabled
but will be removed from stable/8 between now and RC1 so performance is
still impacted a bit by that. Also note that, as mentioned previously
on the mailing lists, we did do a shared library version bump after
BETA2 was announced (bump was done July 19th with svn commit r195767) so
if you update a system that was last rebuilt earlier than that it would
be a good idea to rebuild all user-level applications including the
ports/packages.
The current release target date is the 3rd week of September. We expect
to be doing two Release Candidate builds (RC's), RC1 builds scheduled
for next weekend. As you probably know our schedules often slip but
that's the current target. More information about the current state of
the release is available here:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/8.0TODO
If you notice problems you can report them through the normal Gnats PR
system or on the freebsd-current mailing list. I do cross-post
announcements to freebsd-stable because this particular release is
"about to become a stable branch" but when it comes to watching for
issues related to the release most of the developers pay more attention
to the freebsd-current list.
ISO images for all supported architectures are available on the FTP
sites, (sparc64 was uploaded a short time ago and may not be available
on some sites yet) and a "memory stick" image is available for
amd64/i386 architectures. For amd64/i386 architectures the cdrom and
memstick images include the documentation packages this time but no
other packages. The DVD image includes a first rough pass at what
packages will be available but the list will certainly change between
now and release. None of the other images include packages.
If you are using csup/cvsup methods to update an older system the branch
tag to use is now RELENG_8. If you have not noticed it before now you
may want to check out the -F option for mergemaster(8). We still have
the "issue" of all the cvs ID's being changed as part of creating
a new
branch due to the svn to cvs export mechanism in place but mergemaster's
-F option can help reduce the headache that causes.
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-RELEASE, 8.0-BETA1, or 8.0-BETA2 can upgrade as follows:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.0-BETA3
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
At this point, users of systems being upgraded from FreeBSD 7.x will be
prompted by freebsd-update to rebuild all third-party applications (e.g.,
ports installed from the ports tree) due to updates in system libraries. See
http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2009-07-11-freebsd-update-to-8.0-beta1.html
for mode details. After updating installed third-party applications (and
again, only if freebsd-update printed a message indicating that this was
necessary), run freebsd-update again so that it can delete the old (no longer
used) system libraries:
# freebsd-update install
Finally, reboot into 8.0-BETA3:
# shutdown -r now
