(I recall CVS too doesnt get those RC tags, that' just > subversion I assume) Yes, RC2 hit svs/cvs a few days ago: Date: Sun Oct 25 00:28:01 2009 New Revision: 198456 URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/198456 Log: Prepare for 8.0-RC2 builds. So, if you build it yourself you can have what is likely to be RC2 now too. I'm running (on this machine): FreeBSD swelter.hanley.stade.co.uk 8.0-RC2 FreeBSD 8.0-RC2 #0: Tue Oct 27 18:14:56 GMT 2009 root@swelter.hanley.stade.co.uk:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64 The last time I rsync'd i386 and amd65 stable packages had recently been updated. [aw1@swelter /home/ftp/pub/FreeBSD/ports]$ ls -l */*-stable/INDEX -rw-rw-r-- 1 500 450 18068940 21 Oct 17:32 amd64/packages-8-stable/INDEX -rw-rw-r-- 1 500 450 18450778 23 Oct 18:36 i386/packages-8-stable/INDEX I'd imagine that the RC2 announcement isn't far off. 8.0 is looking pretty good, and the ports / packages I use are in fair shape too. I am seriously considering switching my works machines to 8-stable once 8.0-release is out. -- Adrian Wontroba I know you believe you understand what you think this fortune says, but I'm not sure you realize that what you are reading is not what it means.home | help
