The first Release Candidate build of the 8.3-RELEASE release cycle is
now available on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, and pc98
architectures. The MD5/SHA256 sums are at the bottom of this message.
The ISO images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick
images are available here:
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/8.3/
(or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites).
We hope to have one more Release Candidate build, followed by the
release itself. The schedule is available here:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.3R/schedule.html
and so far we're not too far off.
If you notice any problems you can report them through the normal Gnats
PR system or here on the -stable mailing list.
If you would like to use csup/cvsup mechanisms to do a source-based
update of an existing system the branch tag to use is now "RELENG_8_3".
If you would like to use SVN instead use "releng/8.3". As part of
preparing for RC1 "releng/8.3" was branched.
The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64=
=20
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 8.1-RELEASE,
8.2-RELEASE, or 8.3-BETA1 can upgrade as follows:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.3-RC1
During this process, FreeBSD Update may ask the user to help by merging=20
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=20
continuing.
# shutdown -r now
After rebooting, freebsd-update needs to be run again to install the new=
=20
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 8.3-RC1, 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.
