The second Release Candidate for the FreeBSD 7.4 release cycle is
now available. For this build only the amd64, i386, pc98, and
sparc64 architectures are available.
An initial set of pre-build packages are available on the DVD
and CDROM images for the amd64 architecture. At the time the
i386 images were created the two large meta-packages that are
the bulk of what we normally provide (Gnome and KDE) were not
available so there are some packages on the i386 images but
what is there is not a reflection of what we expect to include
with the final release.
Several bugs we feel are critical enough to warrant fixing before
the 8.2/7.4 releases are finalized, so the release will be delayed
and we will be providing a third Release Candidate about a week
from now. The Web pages have not been updated with a new schedule
yet but we should get that done shortly. The wiki page tracking
the release is here:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/7.4TODO
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 7.4-RC2 is RELENG_7_4. If you prefer SVN use "releng/7.4".
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, 7.3-RELEASE, 7.4-BETA1, or 7.4-RC1 can upgrade
as follows:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.4-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 7.4-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.
