How many RC's we have will depend on how well 8.0-RC1 does. At the moment only one more RC is on the schedule but odds are fairly high we will wind up inserting at least one more RC. Between BETA4 and RC1 a lot of work has gone into IPv6 issues as well as many other issues that have been brought up from the public testing. And a patch set was committed by the people who handle porting ZFS to FreeBSD that they felt makes ZFS production-ready. Details about the current target schedule along with much more detail about the current status of the release is available here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/8.0TODO There are two known problems with 8.0-RC1. One known issue with the 8.0-RC1 build was discovered after the builds got started so is not part of the ISO images or FreeBSD-Update builds. The issue is that local IPv6 link-local addresses are not reachable. A fix for it has been committed to RELENG_8 so if you install from the 8.0-RC1 media or update using FreeBSD-Update you will then need to update using csup/cvsup mechanisms if you need that fix for your environment. It should only impact people using IPv6. The other known issue is that the flowtable may direct packets to the wrong interface under certain routing conditions. We feel confident that this bug will be fixed so the flowtable is enabled in RC1 to maximize testing. If you experience routing problems, please temporarily disable the flowtable using the sysctl =3D0 and report the results to the freebsd-current@ mailing list. If we are unable to resolve this issue by RC2, we will disable the flowtable in 8.0-RELEASE. If you notice problems you can report them through the normal Gnats PR system or on the freebsd-current mailing list. I do cross-post announcements to freebsd-stable because this particular release is "about to become a stable branch" but when it comes to watching for issues related to the release most of the developers pay more attention to the freebsd-current list. ISO images for all supported architectures are available on the FTP sites, and a "memory stick" image is available for amd64/i386 architectures. For amd64/i386 architectures the cdrom and memstick images include the documentation packages this time but no other packages. The DVD image includes a rough pass at what packages will be available on the official release media but is subject to change between now and release. For sparc64 the DVD image has the set of packages that currently build for sparc64, which is a sub-set of the set provided for amd64/i386. The sparc64 disc1 does not have any packages on it because I noticed a little too late that adding the doc packages to disc1 caused it to overflow the target size. For 8.0-RC2 sparc64 will have the livefs bits split out to a separate image (which is the way all the other architectures have been for a while now) and the doc packages will be provided on disc1. None of the other images include packages. If you are using csup/cvsup methods to update an older system the branch tag to use is RELENG_8. The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 7.0-RELEASE, 7.1-RELEASE, 7.2-RELEASE, 8.0-BETA1, 8.0-BETA2, 8.0-BETA3, or 8.0-BETA4 can upgrade as follows: =20 # freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.0-RC1 =20 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. Systems running 8.0-BETA3 may print the warning INDEX-OLD.all: Invalid arguments when downloading updates; this warning is a harmless bug (fixed in 8.0-BETA4) and can be safely ignored. # freebsd-update install =20 The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before continui= ng. =20 # shutdown -r now =20 After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new userland components: # freebsd-update install =20 At this point, users of systems being upgraded from FreeBSD 8.0-BETA2 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. See: http://www.daemonology.net/blog/2009-07-11-freebsd-update-to-8.0-beta1.html for mode details. 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 =20 Finally, reboot into 8.0-RC1: =20 # shutdown -r now MD5/SHA256 checksums for the image files: MD5 (8.0-RC1-amd64-bootonly.iso) =3D
