The second BETA build of the 9.2-RELEASE release cycle is now available on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, powerpc64 and sparc64 architectures. The image checksums follow at the end of this email. ISO images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick images are available here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.2/ (or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites). If you notice problems you can report them through the normal GNATS PR system or here on the -stable mailing list. If you would like to use SVN to do a source based update of an existing system use "stable/9". Please be aware that cvsup and CVS are both deprecated, and are not supported methods of updating the src/ tree. Changes between -BETA1 and -BETA2 include: - Fix an interoperability problem between FreeBSD NFS Server (version 4) and Linux NFS (version 4) clients. - Fix nvme(4) and nvd(4) to support non 512-byte sector sizes. - Fix freebsd-update(8) for -BETA2 by removing a file with non-POSIX characters in its name. This file is not needed for FreeBSD builds, and caused freebsd-update(8) to error on -BETA1. - Fix an XHCI regression. - Fix a bug in ipv6_prefix_IF. - Fix address range specification with various ifconfig(8) options. - Fix Denial of Service vulnerability in named(8). (SA FreeBSD-SA-13:07.bind) The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of amd64 and i386 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running earlier FreeBSD releases can upgrade as follows: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.2-BETA2 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 It is recommended to rebuild and install all applications if possible, especially if upgrading from an earlier FreeBSD release, for example, FreeBSD 8.x. Alternatively, the user can install misc/compat8x and other compatibility libraries, afterwards the system must be rebooted into the new userland: # shutdown -r now Finally, after rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to remove stale files: # freebsd-update install Checksums: amd64: SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-amd64-bootonly.iso) = df563426617320aecd3f9b689c988535bc10b15f8d24abc158639f73b41744b2 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-amd64-disc1.iso) = f5856159f540309010f43dc3b84989616a958fa601f7af3bf10787befbb17317 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-amd64-memstick.img) = 23383e0aa85f00b3333b8b847fcf6df2a61324566f308c7120b2e3c3c2f07dab MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-amd64-bootonly.iso) = 66fe4ea056def2a3401a3c0f46078801 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-amd64-disc1.iso) = 3eebdc638edc3df03c75333dbbcc7a0d MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-amd64-memstick.img) = 0f649d209fb18ef5311bb3e9550377e0 i386: SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-i386-bootonly.iso) = 1ed94740165c73200cbbc9e50b75ca76c477e32b44e1890e4d724a1251a780bd SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-i386-disc1.iso) = b6d8b747a5e332de6214b4f62ccea27a8808b3c6c6510b452e20902bea0e9da6 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-i386-memstick.img) = 0380a0a45cafdfef2dcf7e69c59c29546b40d076408dd61a610e20b809c570f0 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-i386-bootonly.iso) = dfbeb267a7b16dc0c75483b173c70aec MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-i386-disc1.iso) = 3dad925934740483701adc133163a790 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-i386-memstick.img) = 04bc04a3bb874cd8857e7c1df6d0b321 powerpc64: SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-powerpc-powerpc64-bootonly.iso) = d446f7caede1218d5b9731ba7e1acfe8b57040473b4e12c840e76e0da12a16be SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso) = 778bead64e9d425717f28ce4b4c7dfe8cc78fb0f7ad97c0b74332cc6cf77096d SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-powerpc-powerpc64-memstick.img) = ea2274dbe75b278e0320630abad41153c6a0779cfbd43e3a183ed60cef264755 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-powerpc-powerpc64-bootonly.iso) = a0691db803d075839b3ff34e4d2c345d MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-powerpc-powerpc64-disc1.iso) = 4315f836cceeb79b8176facda8bb3d02 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-powerpc-powerpc64-memstick.img) = 9f33cde3fd56c66ace6862976e5ba32c sparc64: SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-sparc64-bootonly.iso) = 99895a7aea48e063cbc4e9663c2bee9254647d2359561153571720819204b69c SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-sparc64-disc1.iso) = cb9cda8ab557047da9c37c0caa51c2ffeafd37b8818f4803e2d1b68a18b65386 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-sparc64-bootonly.iso) = de7e0f4427434ffd74e5675aa6c8999f MD5 (FreeBSD-9.2-BETA2-sparc64-disc1.iso) = 19dfc35017c39c6ed2ff3b6da829a316 Glen -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
