The second and most likely final Release Candidate for the FreeBSD 8.1
release cycle is now available for amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, and
sparc64 architectures. Files suitable for creating installation media
or doing FTP based installs through the network should be available on
most of the FreeBSD mirror sites. Checksums for the images are at the
bottom of this message.
There was a recent regression fix related to Atheros AR9280 cards being
detected incorrectly, making them unusable. If you were having problems
with a wireless card that had worked before not working with the earlier
test builds hopefully this will fix the problem. Testing of this fix
would be appreciated.
At this time DVD images are not available. There was a fairly serious
security issue with the png graphics package. We will generate DVD
images when the rebuilt packages become available, that will be
announced then the images are ready.
The target schedule for the release is available here:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/schedule.html
and the wiki page tracking the current status is here:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/8.1TODO
If you find problems you can report them through the normal Gnats
based PR system or here on this mailing list.
If you are updating an already running machine the CVS branch
tag is RELENG_8_1, or if you prefer SVN use "releng/8.1".
The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 8.0-RELEASE,
8.1-BETA1, or 8.1-RC1 can upgrade as follows:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.1-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.
# 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 7.x) can also use
freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 8.1-RC2, 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 7.x
and FreeBSD 8.x.
