cycle, 7.3-RC2, is available for amd64, i386, pc98, and sparc64
architectures. The target schedule as well as the current status of the
release is available here:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/Releng/7.3TODO
The schedule has slipped by a bit over a week so the actual target for
the release announcement is really about a week and a half from now. If
you notice problems you can report them through the normal Gnats PR
system or on the freebsd-stable mailing list.
There are known issues with the Radeon video driver that have caused
some people problems. The problems have been nebulous enough that we
have decided to not hold up the release due to that specific issue. At
the point that driver has stabilized it will be handled as an Errata
Notice. So far that is the only big problem we've been tracking as part
of the release that has not been resolved in one way or another.
ISO images for the architectures listed above are available on the FTP
mirror sites. Packages were included for amd64 and i386 architectures
that were taken from the set built for the release
(packages-7.3-release) and most likely reflects the set that will be
provided with the release itself. Packages were not provided for the
other architectures in the ISO images.
If you are using csup/cvsup methods to update an older system the branch
tag to use is RELENG_7_3.
The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64
systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 7.1-RELEASE
7.2-RELEASE, 7.3-BETA1, or 7.3-RC1 can upgrade as follows:
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.3-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 6.x) can also use
freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 7.3-RC2, 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 6.x
and FreeBSD 7.x.
