The second Release Candidate for the FreeBSD 8.2 release cycle is
now available. Initial testing of the 7.4-RC2 install images turned
up an issue with the pre-built packages that will take a few more
days to address. For this build only the amd64, i386, pc98, and
sparc64 architectures are available.
An initial set of pre-built packages are available on the DVD images
for the amd64 and i386 architectures. Due to a limitation in the
mechanism used in some of our FTP mirror site infrastructure we are
still limited to a 2Gb maximum file size (we hope that issue will be
addressed before the next release) the package set on the DVD image is
a bit sparse - basically just the Gnome and KDE meta-packages. The
images are also compressed using xz(1) to maximize the compression.
The release schedule has slipped a bit from the original target
schedule which is here:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.2R/schedule.html
We'll adjust the schedule dates shortly. The wiki pages tracking the
release are here:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.2R/schedule.html
If you find problems you can report them through the normal
Gnats based PR system or here on the mailing list.
If you are updating an already running machine the CVS branch tag
for 8.2-RC2 is RELENG_8_2. If you prefer SVN use "releng/8.2".
The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 8.0-RELEASE,
8.1-RELEASE, 8.2-BETA1 or 8.2-RC1 can upgrade as follows:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.2-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 7.x) can also use
freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 8.2-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 7.x
and FreeBSD 8.x.
Checksums:
[ Note this time I included checksums for both the compressed and uncompressed
versions of the dvd1 images. Only the compressed version is available on the
FTP sites but this allows you to check the integrity of the files you download
to make sure they arrived intact before you uncompress them in case you want
to do that. ]
