--=-Bwu5EGvjW/Ay0W9Ao+lS Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable FreeBSD 7.1-RC2 is now available, the second of the Release Candidates. Unless an as yet undiscovered show-stopper comes along the release itself will be anywhere from a week to two weeks from now. We *might* be doing it next week since the release test cycle has gone on for quite a while now and the latest thing that delayed the release was a Security Advisory (SAs don't typically get or need much in the way of public testing). The traffic we're seeing on the lists and in Gnats is certainly stuff we'll pay attention to and deal with but isn't quite severe enough to warrant further delaying an already severely delayed release. NOTE: If updating from a 7.0 or earlier system due to a change in the Vendor's drivers certain Intel NICs will now come up as igb(4) instead of em(4). We normally try to avoid changes like that in stable branches but the vendor felt it necessary in order to support the new adapters. See the UPDATING entry dated 20080811 for details. There are only 3 PCI ID's that should have their name changed from em(4) to igb(4): 0x10A7, 0x10A9, and 0x10D6. You should be able to determine if your card will change names by running the command "pciconf -l", and for the line representing your NIC (should be named em on older systems, e.g. em0 or em1, etc) check the fourth column. If it says "chip=3D0x10a7" (or one of the other two IDs given above) you will have the adapter's name change. 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/7.1/ where ${arch} is one of amd64, i386, ia64, pc98, or sparc64. The powerpc architecture builds haven't completed quite yet. The ISOs for amd64, i386, and sparc64 include what is expected to be the final package set. For all architectures the ISOs with "disc" in their names are CDROM-sized, if you intend to install a variety of packages during installation you will need all three. For amd64 and i386 there is a gzip-ed iso with "dvd" in its name which is DVD-sized. It contains everything (install bits, livefs, docs, and packages) and can be used if your machine has a DVD drive in it. If you would like to do a source-based update to 7.1-RC2 from an already installed machine you can update your tree to RELENG_7_1 using normal cvsup/csup methods. Note that due to an unfortunate side-effect of the "real" source code repository now being in SVN it will look like all files have a new version so mergemaster may be a bit tedious. The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 7.0-RELEASE, 7.1-BETA, 7.1-BETA2, or 7.1-RC1 can upgrade as follows: =20 # freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.1-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. =20 # freebsd-update install The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before continui= ng. # shutdown -r now =20 After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted again: # freebsd-update install # shutdown -r now =20 Users of Intel network interfaces which are changing their name from "em" t= o "igb" should make necessary changes to configuration files BEFORE running freebsd-update, since otherwise the network interface will not be configure= d appropriately after rebooting for the first time. =20 Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 6.x) can also use freebsd-update= to upgrade to FreeBSD 7.1, but will be prompted to rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., anything installed from the ports tree) after the secon= d invocation of "freebsd-update install", in order to handle differences in t= he system libraries between FreeBSD 6.x and FreeBSD 7.x.
