Release schedule
Dear community, I have a question regarding the scheduling of releases. All of my production machines are currently running releng/10.1. This release has at least two severe (for me) problems: - An external USB 3.0 HD enclosure never negotiates successfully for USB 3.0 when connected. This worked better in 9.2 (PR: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=196332) - A serious kernel memory allocation issue involving VirtualBox which did not exist in 9.2 (PR: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=195970) At least the first one might already be corrected in stable/10, but, the release engineering page https://www.freebsd.org/releng/index.html tells me that 10.2 is planned only for November 2015 (and 11.0 for July 2016). So my question is, would it be possible to have a somewhat less drawn-out release schedule? Maybe at fixed times twice during the year, so that a certain rhythm will evolve?

pkgng cannot fetch from PACKAGESITE with nanobsd.sh in FreeBSD 10.1
Hi,
1. In order to comply with the pkgng in FreeBSD 10.1, the following changes
were appended to my customized nanobsd.conf:
customize_cmd cust_NANOBSD_setup
cust_NANOBSD_packages() {
chroot ${NANO_WORLDDIR} sh -c 'cd packages; pkg; pkg install nano; pkg
clean;'
}
customize_cmd cust_NANOBSD_packages
Certainly I had tuned chrooted /etc/resolv.conf with:
#tune resolv.conf
echo '
nameserver 8.8.8.8
nameserver 8.8.4.4
' ${NANO_WORLDDIR}/etc/resolv.conf
Still the package cannot be downloaded from PACKAGESITE and got built into
nanobsd image.
2. Also tried with:
cust_pkg() {
pkg -c ${NANO_WORLDDIR} update
pkg -c ${NANO_WORLDDIR} install nano
pkg -c ${NANO_WORLDDIR} clean
}
customize_cmd cust_pkg
Both ways, I get the same error that reads as of below:
cd: packages: No such file or directory

You might find your space efficiency less than ideal if you have a lot of tiny files. The server is a web server and poudriere package builder, with some postgres and mysql databases as backends for the web services. We don't anticipate user data or home/project directories. My first ZFS install was Solaris 11, which recommended (mandated?) that rpool be from a slice not an entire disk, and boot from an SMI (VTOC) disk. So I followed the same convention when installing FreeBSD. -- DE ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org
