--=-f6tWzedDIv0ABJnKFczJ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The third and what should be final Release Candidate build for the 9.0-RELEASE release cycle is now available. Since this is the beginning of a brand new branch (stable/9) I cross-post the announcements to both -current and -stable. But just so you know most of the developers active in head and stable/9 pay more attention to the -current mailing list. If you notice problems you can report them through the normal Gnats PR system or on the -current mailing list. This should be the last of the test builds. We hope to begin the final release builds in about a week. The 9.0-RELEASE cycle will be tracked here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/9.0TODO The location of the FTP install tree and ISOs is the same as it has been for BETA2/BETA3/RC1/RC2. The layout to a large degree is being dictated by the new build infrastructure and installer. But it's not particularly well suited to humans so I've added a shorter pathway to the ISOs. Unless there are lots of complaints about the layout we'll stick with this for the release. ISO images for amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, powerpc64, and sparc64 are available here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.0/ That directory is a set of symbolic links to the ISO images for all of the supported architectures, and checksum files (for example there is a symlink named CHECKSUM.MD5-amd64 that points to the CHECKSUM.MD5 file for the amd64 architecture). MD5/SHA256 checksums are tacked on below. If you would like to use csup/cvsup mechanisms to access the source tree the branch tag to use is now "RELENG_9_0", if you use "." (head) you will get 10-CURRENT. If you would like to access the source tree via SVN it is "svn://svn.freebsd.org/base/releng/9.0/". We still have the nit that the creation of a new SVN branch winds up causing what looks like a check-in of the entire tree in CVS (a side-effect of the svn2cvs exporter) so "mergemaster -F" is your friend if you are using csup/cvsup. FreeBSD Update -------------- The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 sy= stems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 7.[34]-RELEASE, 8.[12]-RELEASE, 9.0-BETA[123], or 9.0-RC[1,2] can upgrade as follows: First, a minor change must be made to the freebsd-update code in order for it to accept file names appearing in FreeBSD 9.0 which contain the '%' and '@' characters; without this change, freebsd-update will error out with the message "The update metadata is correctly signed, but failed an integrity check". # sed -i '' -e 's/=3D_/=3D%@_/' /usr/sbin/freebsd-update Now freebsd-update can fetch bits belonging to 9.0-RC3. During this proces= s freebsd-update will ask for help in merging configuration files. # freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.0-RC3 Due to changes in the way that FreeBSD is packaged on the release media, tw= o complications may arise in this process if upgrading from FreeBSD 7.x or 8.= x: 1. The FreeBSD kernel, which previously could appear in either /boot/kernel or /boot/GENERIC, now only appears as /boot/kernel. As a result, any kerne= l appearing in /boot/GENERIC will be deleted. Please carefully read the outp= ut printed by freebsd-update and confirm that an updated kernel will be placed into /boot/kernel before proceeding beyond this point. 2. The FreeBSD source tree in /usr/src (if present) will be deleted. (Norm= ally freebsd-update will update a source tree, but in this case the changes in release packaging result in freebsd-update not recognizing that the source = tree from the old release and the source tree from the new release correspond to= the same part of FreeBSD.) # freebsd-update install The system must now be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before the non-kernel components are updated. # shutdown -r now After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new userland components: # freebsd-update install At this point, users of systems being upgraded from FreeBSD 8.2-RELEASE or earlier will be prompted by freebsd-update to rebuild all third-party applications (e.g., ports installed from the ports tree) due to updates in system libraries. After updating installed third-party applications (and again, only if freebsd-update printed a message indicating that this was necessary), run freebsd-update again so that it can delete the old (no longer used) system libraries: # freebsd-update install Finally, reboot into 9.0-RC3: Checksums: MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-amd64-bootonly.iso) =3D 53f2bc5a3d18124769bfb066e92155= 9a MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-amd64-disc1.iso) =3D b88eca54341523713712b184c6a7fc9a MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-amd64-memstick.img) =3D a9b58348736d4a7a179941e818d339= 86 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-i386-bootonly.iso) =3D 86f0410ffb1c55fcb8faf33814e6e95= b MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-i386-disc1.iso) =3D 3585047256b1b8f72319aa55ffa3c3ad MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-i386-memstick.img) =3D 8be95b49c498e666f87957a8c10997c= e MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-ia64-bootonly.iso) =3D 7a8e99a61d21ae8a5f6be9fb7f878b1= 1 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-ia64-memstick) =3D 5484765d3373c59372cdb53bbea2ab2d MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-ia64-release.iso) =3D 7791f810dbe7d1ee7cf30510f0981424 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-powerpc-bootonly.iso) =3D 97a947ccd413371e24cfc83971bf= d83a MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-powerpc-memstick) =3D 2ebbdb2379d1f0e1a24a5ac31f22cf6f MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-powerpc-release.iso) =3D e6c38096826b015eaa63a8109b809= 250 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-powerpc64-bootonly.iso) =3D 360383e1d7fca3d93be73f5aa8= ce085c MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-powerpc64-memstick) =3D 4b74c2d73b56f5f38590b0da2cf640= 54 MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-powerpc64-release.iso) =3D 3e6e9519b3debb61047491ee700= f683b MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-sparc64-bootonly.iso) =3D 8f352714c2c4228623239491aee8= 8e6a MD5 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-sparc64-disc1.iso) =3D b51648c80862f54d230cf13b4a34604= b SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-amd64-bootonly.iso) =3D 06d609bb0d927b64221f1207542= 794870b56538fd3983355c9013d1f17fe7382 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-amd64-disc1.iso) =3D 16792eb1e90070b8c5d1ea8df55b29= 0534efba1543fb37950f8c7acd61839208 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-amd64-memstick.img) =3D ae533e43e2390c5992c83acebfe= e35636baaa0694b7f1bae973fd4547a4e97ee SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-i386-bootonly.iso) =3D 88f417817eec36e183fdb8327206= 64956486ac169fb5528e93423e4ccd52ba61 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-i386-disc1.iso) =3D cdbf1ce5668444c88ea141bfaec0bd4= 14c09b39969076915d2d9257c9f0802f2 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-i386-memstick.img) =3D ea6e4ce993bc534a05d247bd65cc= f2a41e5e12cd36c75ca2a2dfdf0d77e996b5 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-ia64-bootonly.iso) =3D cebb6bacde53bc4bc69f90484471= 07c38f69d6c655fcc5a7778dcae8c7387dc1 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-ia64-memstick) =3D 46960b6567e3dcfea65dbeef107573f5= 147f2ec74d555d0aae19a81629cb2434 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-ia64-release.iso) =3D a484ac6ac87e9a9c524cde453838a= 15aebffcc6b5811dbaf85b3b37691cea149 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-powerpc-bootonly.iso) =3D a2a98542d9668b18ef10b85d0= e10026e15e9c6991bc09d9fa070e6eed34a93bb SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-powerpc-memstick) =3D 0320db4828122ef851e1a26f28bd1= eccf1b4e45d476fe23ec627c2daa559220b SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-powerpc-release.iso) =3D ee480650db05998560f26016bf= cf2c392da8a3eae94bec49a162f9f655aaa3f9 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-powerpc64-bootonly.iso) =3D 7bd60e65929fd70133a21f8= 517715b22d992a45a29c2677e4c7a66a226bc492a SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-powerpc64-memstick) =3D 3fab51275ddf71016d9422c6bfb= 0806c51b0243d79f9f5011f9f2f78a631a607 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-powerpc64-release.iso) =3D d48ec66421b9f74b8c11212a= 6b9d5240b20629e0685e0ee3485233e28eb3cfcd SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-sparc64-bootonly.iso) =3D 739a9430198b91cac1d625bcd= e202447fc47addc92430a72080dce224c3b5c67 SHA256 (FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-sparc64-disc1.iso) =3D 18a63e0cb420694172f49f7ad5a2= 09d40f348b19d3c96e8ecaeef8517b52cc22 --=20 Ken Smith - From there to here, from here to | kensmith@buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodore Geisel | --=-f6tWzedDIv0ABJnKFczJ Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name="signature.asc" Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.11 (FreeBSD) iEYEABECAAYFAk7havYACgkQ/G14VSmup/YengCeLcsB2YHtbg+M/n+wzkLcgJKS +uUAnRqD4196B2tsHGjtlojlAJGNXVRY =IFqa -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-f6tWzedDIv0ABJnKFczJ--
