Quick 10.0-RELEASE status update: - iconv(3) changes have been made in head/, and merged to stable/10 today. - Two MFCs are undergoing review, one of which I will commit right before updating the stable/10 branch name to reflect '-BETA4'.[1] - Builds for 10.0-BETA4 will begin tomorrow. The schedule page on the website will be updated to reflect the start of the -BETA4 builds, as well as updating the remainder of the schedule to reflect the adjustments after the delay. [1] - Important note to those tracking stable/10: An update will be committed tomorrow that will disable automatic creation of pkg.conf(5). Those installing new systems from 10.0-BETA4 should experience no trouble, as the update pkg(8) version (pkg-1.2.1) should be available around the same time 10.0-BETA4 is announced. This affects the pkg(8) bootstrap functionality *only*. Those with bootstrapped pkg(8) will not be affected. For those doing source-based upgrades from stable/10 *and* do not have pkg(8) already bootstrapped, there will be a brief (about 1 day, "brief" being relative) window of time where pkg(8) (versions less than 1.2) will not have a pre-configured pkg.conf(5). This will also be noted in the 10.0-BETA4 announcement mail.[2] [2] - I believe this is a non-issue, since usr.sbin/pkg/config.c has pkg.FreeBSD.org set as the packagesite, but I am sure I am overlooking something obvious that will prove me wrong. So, that is why the "important note" is longer than the actual status update. :-) Thank you for your patience.
