--=-SamXqkw7P8jr8LIHmCUb Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable The second of the two planed Release Candidates for the 7.2-RELEASE cycle is now available. We believe with the exception of the new bce(4) driver not working with lagg(4) all the major issues that have come up from the testing have been addressed. We will work with the vendor to get that issue addressed post-release. At this point we know of no problems big enough to impact the dates for the rest of the release cycle which is here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/7.2R/schedule.html We will continue to watch for problems both here on this list and in Gnats but hopefully nothing so catastrophic will come up that we would need to alter the schedule. There is one known issue with 7.2-RC2. We switched from KDE3 to KDE4 and during my tests done before uploading the images a problem with package dependencies for KDE4 was discovered. The kdemultimedia4 package has audio/lame as a runtime dependency but that package can not be pre-built due to licensing issues. So the install of kdemultimedia4 fails if you choose to install kde4. The ports folks have been notified and will make the necessary adjustments before the final release. If you would like to test KDE4 installed from the media the easiest approach is most likely this: - select the kde4 metapackage while installing, during the initial install it will install most of kde4 but will fail as mentioned above - post-install install lame using "make install clean" in /usr/ports/audio/lame - insert the install CD, start up sysinstall, and under "Configure" select "Packages" and have it retry installing the kde4 metapackage, it should succeed this time There are other ways to handle getting KDE4 onto a machine post-install, the above is just one possible route. 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, or powerpc. The builds for sparc64 just barely finished up and got loaded on ftp-master so they are not widely available yet but should be shortly. Checksums for the ISO images are at the bottom of this message. The amd64 and i386 sets include what should be the final choice for the package set. If you would like to do a source-based update to 7.2-RC2 from an already installed machine you can update your tree to RELENG_7_2 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, 7.1-RELEASE, 7.2-BETA1, or 7.2-RC1 can upgrade as follows: =20 # freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.2-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 Users of earlier FreeBSD releases (FreeBSD 6.x) can also use freebsd-update= to upgrade to FreeBSD 7.2-RC2, 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.
