The second Release Candidate build of the 8.3-RELEASE release cycle is now available on the FTP servers for the amd64, i386, pc98, and sparc64 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). What will likely be the package sets for the upcoming release have been placed on the RC2 images. For the disc1 images due to size issues only the English documentation package is available. The memstick images include the documentation packages for all languages but no other packages. The dvd images include all of the documentation packages as well as enough packages to set up a basic graphical workstation. Unless a show-stopper caliber problem is found this will be the last test build of the 8.3-RELEASE cycle. Some nits that came up as part of getting RC2 ready have put us off the original schedule. I just updated the schedule, available here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.3R/schedule.html to reflect a new target date for starting up the release builds of April 9th, 2012. The release announcement itself should be three to four days after the builds start. It will take a little time for the update I just made to go live on the Web site. 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 "RELENG_8_3". If you would like to use SVN instead use "releng/8.3". The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 8.1-RELEASE, 8.2-RELEASE, 8.3-BETA1, or 8.3-RC1 can upgrade as follows: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.3-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 8.3-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.
