As the next step in the release of FreeBSD 6.4 the FreeBSD 6.4-RC1 builds are now available for testing. This is the first of an expected two Release Candidates. We encourage you to test out the Release Candidates, reporting any problems by submitting PRs or via email to the freebsd-stable list.
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/6.4/ where ${arch} is one of alpha, amd64, i386, pc98, or sparc64. Checksums for the ISO images are at the bottom of this messate. The amd64 and i386 sets include a *preliminary* set of packages, not what is expected to be included with the release itself. Notably missing is KDE due to some confusion on my part about exactly what to include. The package sets included with 6.4-RC2 will be closer to what will be included with the release. If you would like to do a source-based update to 6.4-RC1 from an already installed machine you can update your tree to RELENG_6_4 using normal cvsup/csup methods. Note that as a somewhat inconvenient side-effect of the primary FreeBSD source repository now being in SVN the creation of the RELENG_6_4 branch in the CVS repository wound up checking in a "new" version of every file, in some cases only changing the FBSDID. That will probably make mergemaster a bit tedious. Sorry for the inconvenience. The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 6.3-RELEASE or 6.4-BETA can upgrade as follows: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 6.4-RC1 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 neews to be run again to install the new userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted again: # freebsd-update install # shutdown -r now Note that FreeBSD Update stores downloaded upgrades in /var/db/freebsd-update, so at least 400MB should be free in /var before running freebsd-update; if the /var partition is too small, the -d option to freebsd-update can be used to indicate that the upgrades should be stored in a different directory.
