FreeBSD 6.4-RC2 should be the last of the public test builds for the FreeBSD 6.4 release cycle. Unless a big show-stopper is found from this round of testing we should begin the 6.4-RELEASE builds in about a week and a half. We encourage you to test out 6.4-RC2 and report any problems by submitting PRs or via email to the freebsd-stable list. One of the things that could use some testing is the late-arriving patches to sysinstall that should eliminate the excessive disc swapping that previous releases had if things like gnome or kde were installed as part of the initial CDROM install. Things selected before you reach the "Package Selection Menu" are handled as separate passes from the things that get selected at that menu. So depending on what you install before you reach that menu (e.g. Xorg selected as part of the distributions) and what you select at that menu there may still be some disc swapping involved. But "worst case" given the current layout it should ask for any given disc no more than twice. For amd64 and i386 DVD images are also available. The DVD images include the install bits, livefs, docs, and the same set of packages that are available on the CDROMs all in one image. So, you can choose to download/burn the DVD image to a DVD, or you can choose to download/burn the three CDROM-sized discs and use those. The ISO images and FTP install trees are available on the FreeBSD Mirror sites. Using the primary site as an example: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/${arch}/ISO-IMAGES/6.4/ where ${arch} is one of alpha, amd64, i386, pc98, or sparc64. Checksums for the ISO images are at the bottom of this message. The amd64 and i386 sets include what should be the final selection of packages that will be included with the release. If you would like to do a source-based update to 6.4-RC2 from an already installed machine you can update your tree to RELENG_6_4 using normal cvsup/csup methods. Note that as a somewhat inconvenient side-effect of the primary FreeBSD source repository now being in SVN the creation of the RELENG_6_4 branch in the CVS repository wound up checking in a "new" version of every file, in some cases only changing the FBSDID. That will probably make mergemaster a bit tedious. Sorry for the inconvenience. The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 6.3-RELEASE, 6.4-BETA, or 6.4-RC1 can upgrade as follows: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 6.4-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 continui= ng. # shutdown -r now After rebooting, freebsd-update neews to be run again to install the new userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted again: # freebsd-update install # shutdown -r now Note that FreeBSD Update stores downloaded upgrades in /var/db/freebsd-upda= te, so at least 400MB should be free in /var before running freebsd-update; if the /var partition is too small, the -d option to freebsd-update can be use= d to indicate that the upgrades should be stored in a different directory.
