I have not worked with RC2 yet. However, as of a snapshot a couple of days ago, there was still a large amount of 'non-intuitive behavior' in sysinstall, and by 'non-intuitive', I mean its behavior works directly against the on-screen documentation in places, and where its not documented, just acts bad. Before anyone says 'Quote examples', I'll point you to the freebsd-qa mailing list, where I've given exact locations and behaviors that didn't make sense (repeatedly). I expect RC2 will still have some of these behaviors, as the snapshot mentioned above still had them. I will probably therefore push for at least an RC3 before we go to -RELEASE, or at least as many RCs as to get to where an RC could be 'shipped'. Hopefully, if you fixes didn't get in there, we could have a follow on RC in a few days that would definately have it. Why I'm on the topic, who is the 'official' person doing Release Engineering and/or working on sysinstall (I'm used to Jordan doing both)? -Brian > > Does this include the commits to the fs and ata drivers from this morning ? > It would be nice to test these a bit in an RC no ? > > ---Mike > > At 12:59 PM 8/28/01 -0700, Murray Stokely wrote: > >ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.4-RC2/ > >ftp://ftp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/ > > 4.4rc2-install.iso > > > >(The ISO and package set are still mirroring but should be there > >soon). > > > > We have working GNOME 1.4 and KDE 2.2 packages on this release as > >well as a number of bug fixes since RC1.
