These annoying messages are most likely caused by the recent import of new binutils. It was also reported to -stable by Aurelien Nephtali on 3 Sep 2002. An obvious solution is to replace all calls to "bfd_read" in "/usr/src/contrib/gdb/gdb/dbxread.c" with the appropriate call to "bfd_bread". I have done this, and it works (see attached patch). Probably the same should be done for the files "coffread.c", "dwarfread.c" and "dwarf2read.c". I have no way to test that however, and consequently have not done that. I hope this solution still makes it into 4.7-RELEASE. The warnings look quite silly, and it is easy to patch.

Both an FTP site and a "disc 1" ISO image are available, respectively from: ftp:///pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.7-RC2/ ftp:///pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.7/ The biggest change from 4.7-RC1 is that the ISO image has most of the packages one would expect to see on the install CD, and that the pkg_* utilities once again have the same functionality as in prior FreeBSD releases. We invite interested users to try out this snapshot and provide feedback (via the qa@ list) on issues to be fixed before 4.7-RELEASE, currently scheduled for 1 October 2002. Depending on the feedback we get (and the magnitude of any remaining bugfixes required before release), we may do another release candidate snapshot before the release. Before reporting problems, please check the QA page for this release-in-progress, to make sure that a problem has not already been encountered: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.7R/qa.html FreeBSD 4.7-RC2 for the alpha architecture is being built now and should be available shortly. Many thanks to Sentex Communications for making available a fast, well-connected i386 machine for release builds. Bruce A.

Both an FTP site and a "disc 1" ISO image are available, respectively from: ftp:///pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/4.7-RC2/ ftp:///pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.7/ The biggest change from 4.7-RC1 is that the ISO image has most of the packages one would expect to see on the install CD, and that the pkg_* utilities once again have the same functionality as in prior FreeBSD releases. We invite interested users to try out this snapshot and provide feedback (via the qa@ list) on issues to be fixed before 4.7-RELEASE, currently scheduled for 1 October 2002. Depending on the feedback we get (and the magnitude of any remaining bugfixes required before release), we may do another release candidate snapshot before the release. Before reporting problems, please check the QA page for this release-in-progress, to make sure that a problem has not already been encountered: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/4.7R/qa.html FreeBSD 4.7-RC2 for the alpha architecture is being built now and should be available shortly.

The install went smoothly as expected. Normally, I don't install KDE or Gnome but I tried the KDE desktop. When I reviewed the package selection menu, I noticed that it had only installed some of the kde libs and the kde base. The meta port for KDE was not marked as already having been installed. I selected the meta port and it installed the remaining uninstalled KDE elements (games, network, multimedia, etc). Is the intended behavior? I would have thought that the entire KDE suite would have been installed if I had selected it as my desktop during the install. I can repeat the install if needed, making notes of the packages that do get installed when selecting the KDE desktop as the default. I'll try a few more fresh installs in various ways, but things seem to be pretty smooth.

We have both the x11/gnome and x11/kde3 metaports in the disc 1 package sets, but sysinstall/config.c installs gnomecore and kdebase, rather than the metaports. This feels wrong to me somehow. One of the commit log entries (from around 4.5-RELEASE) mentions that we install kdebase rather than the KDE metaport to save package space on disc 1, but our package splitting scripts already put the metaport there.

Fixed, my bad. CHECKSUM.MD4 is updated with the checksum and group-writable now. BTW, I'm putting alpha RC2 bits on ftp-master.

Mah > (for the Release Engineering team) FreeBSD 4.7-RC2 for the Alpha architecture should be on mirror sites very soon. Presently there is only a mini ISO and an FTP tarball available as to my knowledge we do not have any packages available for alpha 4.7-RC2. If you had problems with kernel modules on Alpha with RC1, please try RC2. I think there are still some issues with sysctl's in kernel modules on Alpha however. -- John Baldwin <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-qa" in the body of the message From owner-freebsd-qa Sat Sep 28 9:24:33 2002 Delivered-To: freebsd-qa@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.FreeBSD.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 0F04137B401 for ; Sat, 28 Sep 2002 09:24:30 -0700 (PDT) Received: from sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net (sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net [65.242.152.6]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 6987443E42 for ; Sat, 28 Sep 2002 09:24:29 -0700 (PDT) (envelope-from jpb@sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net) Received: by sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net (Postfix, from userid 1000) id A6F43107D6; Sat, 28 Sep 2002 11:54:15 -0400 (EDT) Date: Sat, 28 Sep 2002 11:54:15 -0400 From: Jim Brown To: freebsd-qa@freebsd.org Subject: Re: 4.7-RC2 Installation comments Message-ID: <20020928155415.GA74713@sixshooter.v6.thrupoint.net> Mail-Followup-To: freebsd-qa@freebsd.org References: <20020927154142.320d4051.rpratt1950@earthlink.net> Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Disposition: inline In-Reply-To: <20020927154142.320d4051.rpratt1950@earthlink.net> User-Agent: Mutt/1.4i Sender: owner-freebsd-qa@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk List-ID: List-Archive: (Web Archive) List-Help: (List Instructions) List-Subscribe: List-Unsubscribe: X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG * Randy Pratt [2002-09-27 15:40]: > I was unable to locate an md5 checksum for the 4.7-RC2.iso but it > seemed to be okay. > > The install went smoothly as expected. > > Normally, I don't install KDE or Gnome but I tried the KDE desktop. > When I reviewed the package selection menu, I noticed that it > had only installed some of the kde libs and the kde base.

I installed from the RC2 iso this afternoon. Also a smooth install. I did not select the desktop from the initial install, but rebooted. After booting, I ran sysinstall and added the KDE desktop from the configure submenu. I got the standard installation without any problems. I did note that the ERRATA page still contains 4.6.2 info, but I assume that is the last thing updated in the release cycle. Congratulations again to the developers, release engineering and all contributors on an outstanding job putting 4.7 together!
