The second Release Candidate build of the 8.3-RELEASE release cycle is
now available on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, pc98, and sparc64
architectures. The MD5/SHA256 sums are at the bottom of this message.
The ISO images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick
images are available here:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/8.3/
(or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites).
What will likely be the package sets for the upcoming release have been
placed on the RC2 images. For the disc1 images due to size issues only
the English documentation package is available. The memstick images
include the documentation packages for all languages but no other
packages. The dvd images include all of the documentation packages as
well as enough packages to set up a basic graphical workstation.
Unless a show-stopper caliber problem is found this will be the last
test build of the 8.3-RELEASE cycle. Some nits that came up as part of
getting RC2 ready have put us off the original schedule. I just updated
the schedule, available here:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.3R/schedule.html
to reflect a new target date for starting up the release builds of April
9th, 2012. The release announcement itself should be three to four days
after the builds start. It will take a little time for the update I
just made to go live on the Web site.
If you notice any problems you can report them through the normal Gnats
PR system or here on the -stable mailing list.
If you would like to use csup/cvsup mechanisms to do a source-based
update of an existing system the branch tag to use is "RELENG_8_3".
If you would like to use SVN instead use "releng/8.3".
The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 8.1-RELEASE,
8.2-RELEASE, 8.3-BETA1, or 8.3-RC1 can upgrade as follows:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.3-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 8.3-RC1, 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.
