FreeBSD 7.2-BETA1 Available

Fri Apr 3 04:43:28 UTC 2009

The first of the test builds for the FreeBSD 7.2-RELEASE cycle is now
available.  Testing of two recent changes to the system would be
particularly valuable.  The bce(4) network driver was updated a few days
ago.  And some significant work was done on the threading libraries a
short time ago that is known to fix several major issues but testing to
see if it introduced any regressions would be appreciated.

The target schedule for the release is available here:

  http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.2R/schedule.html

So far we're just one day off target (BETA1 builds started Tuesday).

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/7.2/

where ${arch} is one of amd64 i386, ia64, pc98, powerpc, or sparc64.
Checksums for the ISO images are at the bottom of this message.  The
amd64 and i386 sets include a *preliminary* set of packages.

If you would like to do a source-based update to 7.2-BETA1 from an
already installed machine you can update your tree to RELENG_7 using
normal cvsup/csup methods.

The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases.  Systems running 7.0-RELEASE or
7.1-RELEASE can upgrade as follows:

# freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.2-BETA1

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 continuing.
# shutdown -r now

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

Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 6.x) can also use freebsd-update to
upgrade to FreeBSD 7.2-BETA1, but will be prompted to rebuild all third-party
applications (e.g., anything installed from the ports tree) after the second
invocation of "freebsd-update install", in order to handle differences in the
system libraries between FreeBSD 6.x and FreeBSD 7.x.

NOTE: Due to a recently uncovered bug, FreeBSD Update may fail while
downloading updates.  If this occurs, please use the mirror
update1.freebsd.org, by running freebsd-update with the "-s
update1.freebsd.org" flag added; this mirror should be immune to this
bug.
