FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report January-March, 2012
FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report January-March, 2012 Introduction This report covers FreeBSD-related projects between January and March 2012. It is the first of the four reports planned for 2012. This quarter was highlighted by releasing the next major version of FreeBSD, 9.0, which was finally released in the beginning of January 2012. The FreeBSD Project dedicates the FreeBSD 9.0-RELEASE to the memory of Dennis M. Ritchie, one of the founding fathers of the UNIXŽ operating system. Our release engineering team has been also busy with preparation of the 8.3-RELEASE, which was publicly announced in April. Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! This report contains 27 entries and we hope you enjoy reading it. Please note that the deadline for submissions covering the period between April and June 2012 is July 15th, 2012. __ Projects * FreeBSD Services Control * GNU-Free C++11 Stack * Growing filesystems online * The FreeNAS Project User-land Programs * Clang Replacing GCC in the Base System * Replacing the Regular Expression Code * The bsdconfig(8) utility FreeBSD Team Reports * Release Engineering Team Status Report * The FreeBSD Foundation Team Report Kernel * DTrace Probes for the linuxulator * HDMI/DisplayPort Audio Support in HDA Sound Driver (snd_hda) * Improved hwpmc(9) Support for MIPS * isci(4) SAS Driver Network Infrastructure * Atheros 802.11n Support * IPv6 Performance Analysis * Multi-FIB: IPv6 Support and Other Enhancements Documentation * The FreeBSD Japanese Documentation Project Architectures * FreeBSD/arm on Various TI Boards * FreeBSD/powerpc on Freescale QorIQ DPAA * NAND File System, NAND Flash Framework, NAND Simulator * Porting DTrace to MIPS and ARM Ports * A New linux_base Port Based Upon CentOS * BSD-licensed sort Utility (GNU sort Replacement) * KDE/FreeBSD * Perl Ports Testing * The FreeBSD Haskell Ports * The FreeBSD Ports Collection __ A New linux_base Port Based Upon CentOS Contact: Alexander Leidinger netch...@freebsd.org We got a PR with a linux_based port which is based upon CentOS 6. Currently this can only be used as a test environment, as it depends upon a more recent linux kernel version, than the linuxulator provides. As of this writing, I'm in the process of preparing a commit of this port. Open tasks: 1. Repocopy by portmgr. 2. Add conflicts in other linux_base ports. 3. Commit the CentOS based one. 4. Some cleanup. __ Atheros 802.11n Support URL: http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/AdrianChadd/AtherosTxAgg URL: http://wiki.FreeBSD.org/dev/ath(4) Contact: Adrian Chadd adr...@freebsd.org 802.11n station and hostap support is now fully functional, sans correct hostap side power saving. TX aggregation and TX BAR handling is implemented. Station chip power saving is not implemented at all yet, it's not in the scope of this work. Testers should disable bgscan (-bgscan) as scan/bgscan will simply drop any traffic in the TX/RX queues, causing potential traffic stalls. Open tasks: 1. Fix up hostap side power save handling. 2. Implement filtered frames support in the driver. 3. Fix scan/bgscan to correctly buffer and retransmit frames when going off channel, so frames are not just dropped - this causes issues in the aggregation sessions and may cause traffic stalls. 4. Test/fix any issues with adhoc 802.11n support. __ BSD-licensed sort Utility (GNU sort Replacement) URL: http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/textproc/bsdsort/ URL: http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/9699919799/utilities/sort.html Contact: Oleg Moskalenko oleg.moskale...@citrix.com Contact: Gábor Kövesdán ga...@freebsd.org Currently the BSD sort reached usable stable stage. It is stable, it is as fast as the GNU sort, and it supports multi-byte locales (this is something that GNU sort does not do correctly). BSD sort has all features of GNU sort 5.3.0 (version included into FreeBSD) with some extra features and bug fixes. Open tasks: 1. Add BSD sort into HEAD as an alternative, installed as bsdsort. If proven to work as expected, change it to the default sort version and remove GNU sort. 2. Investigate the possibility of a multi-threaded sort implementation and implement it, if it proves more efficient. 3. Upgrade BSD sort features to include some obscure new features in the latest GNU sort version 8.15.
FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report October-December, 2011
FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report October-December, 2011 Introduction This report covers FreeBSD-related projects between October and December 2011. It is the last of the four reports planned for 2011. This quarter was mainly devoted to polishing the bits for the next major version of FreeBSD, 9.0, which was already successfully released in the beginning of January 2012. Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! This report contains 32 entries and we hope you enjoy reading it. Please note that the deadline for submissions covering the period between January and March 2012 is April 15th, 2012. __ Projects * Auditdistd Project * BSD-Licensed C++ Stack * pfSense User-land Programs * Replacing the Regular Expression Code * System Configuration Utilities FreeBSD Team Reports * FreeBSD Ports Management Team Status Report * Release Engineering Team Status Report * The FreeBSD Foundation Status Report Kernel * CAM Target Layer (CTL) * FreeBSD No-IPv4 (IPv6-Only) Support * GEOM MULTIPATH Rewrite * HDA Sound Driver (snd_hda) Improvements * LSI Supported mps(4) SAS driver * SCSI Direct Access Driver (da) Improvements * Status Report for NFS * The New CARP Documentation * A Tool to Check for Mistakes in Documentation -- igor * The FreeBSD German Documentation Project * The FreeBSD Japanese Documentation Project Architectures * FreeBSD/390 * FreeBSD/arm on Marvell Armada XP * FreeBSD/powerpc on AppliedMicro APM86290 * FreeBSD/powerpc on Freescale QorIQ DPAA * Improving Support for New Features in the Intel SandyBridge CPUs Ports * FreeBSD Haskell Ports * FreeBSD Ruby Ports * FreeBSD/GNOME * FreeBSD/KDE * Multimedia -- Watching/Recording Digital TV * Perl Ports Testing * Public FreeBSD Ports Development Infrastructure -- redports.org * Up to Date X.Org Server __ A Tool to Check for Mistakes in Documentation -- igor URL: http://www.wonkity.com/~wblock/igor/ Contact: Warren Block wbl...@freebsd.org igor is a program that proofreads man pages, DocBook SGML source, and other text files for many common mistakes. Files are tested for spelling mistakes, repeated words, and white-space problems. Man pages are also checked for minimal structure, and DocBook SGML source files are checked for formatting and tag problems. If you write or edit FreeBSD documentation, let igor help you check it for correctness. Open tasks: 1. Find a testing or parsing framework that can do a faster or better job, or that can understand the state of DocBook tags. 2. Add more tests. 3. Improve speed. __ Auditdistd Project Contact: Pawel Jakub Dawidek p...@freebsd.org Current weakness of FreeBSD's Security Event Audit facility is that audit records are stored locally and can be modified or removed by an attacker after a system compromise. The auditdistd will allow to reliably and securely distribute audit trail files over TCP/IP network to remote system. In case of system compromise it will enable administrators to analyze audit records in trusted environment. This project is sponsored by the FreeBSD Foundation and should be completed by the end of February 2012. __ BSD-Licensed C++ Stack Contact: David Chisnall thera...@freebsd.org Two new libraries, libc++ (providing a C++11 STL implementation) and libcxxrt (providing an implementation of the C++ ABI specification) have been added. This is enabled by adding WITH_LIBCPLUSPLUS=yes to src.conf. It is not enabled by default because libc++ does not build with the version of gcc in the base system and requires you to build with clang. Once it is built, you can select between using GNU libstdc++ and libc++ by adding -stdlib=libc++ or -stdlib=libstdc++ to your compile and link flags (when building with clang). If you are running head (or have a spare [virtual] machine you can try it on) then please try building your C++ code with libc++ and let me know of any failures, ideally with reduced test cases. Open tasks: 1. Test ports with libc++. Hopefully most will Just Work., but others may need patches or have a hard dependency on libstdc++. 2. Make libstdc++ dynamically link to libsupc++. This will allow us to use libmap.conf to switch between libsupc++ and libcxxrt. 3. Enable building libc++ by default (hopefully in the 9.1 time-frame, when clang becomes the default system compiler) and switch to using libcxxrt instead of libsupc++ by default. 4. Lots more

With DIFFUSE, IPFW computes statistics (such as packet lengths or inter-packet time intervals) for observed flows, and uses ML (machine learning) to classify flows into classes. In addition to traditional packet inspection rules, IPFW rules may now also be expressed in terms of traffic statistics or classes identified by ML classification. This can be helpful when direct packet inspection is problematic (perhaps for administrative reasons, or because port numbers do not reliably identify applications). DIFFUSE also enables one instance of IPFW to send flow information and classes to other IPFW instances, which then can act on such traffic (e.g. prioritise, accept, deny, etc.) according to its class. This allows for distributed architectures, where classification at one location in your network is used to control fire-walling or rate-shaping actions at other locations.

On Tue, 14 Jun 2011 17:01:21 -0400, Steve Polyack wrote: I'll just have to adapt and ensure they have the same IP addresses then. I have a suspicion that the important part may be the number of IP addresses on the CARP interface. If CARP sends an advertisement from each IP alias on a CARP interface, then I think that would explain what you are seeing - and also possibly give you a workaround by adding two more bogus IPs on your primary datacenter firewalls (where IPs W and Z are normally missing). - Steve I'll give it a try, although I think in a scenario where the carp interfaces have the same number of IPs and these IPs differ, both interfaces will claim mastership. Will post results. Now that I look at the spec, it looks like both the count and the addresses themselves are provided in VRRP packets. CARP likely does the same. I can't speak for whether these things are considered along with the VHID and password, but it's worth a shot. I think you are correct, though. CARP does the same and should you have different IP addresses on the master/backup machines they will misbehave. I think the way to solve this issue is to split the two other IP addresses onto a separate carpN interface... -- Kind regards Daniel ___ 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

This adds support for a wide variety of new features while simplifying the installation process. Testing before the 9.0 release will be very much appreciated -- CD and memory stick images for a variety of platforms are linked from the BSDInstall wiki page. Interesting features: * Install CD media are always live CDs * Installations spanning multiple disks * Wireless setup * GPT disk formatting * Virtualization friendly: can install from a live system onto disk images * Easily hackable and more modular than sysinstall * Greater flexibility: shells available throughout the installation Work is presently ongoing to integrate this installer with the backend provided by pc-sysinstall (second wiki link).

The OpenAFS client implementation has not been particularly useful on FreeBSD since the FreeBSD 4.X releases. Work covered in previous reports brought the OpenAFS client to a useful form on 9.0-CURRENT, though with some rough edges. Since our last report, we have fixed several bugs that were impacting usability, and we expect the upcoming 1.6.0 release to be usable for regular client workloads (though not heavy load). Accordingly, we have submitted packaging for inclusion in the Ports Collection (PR ports/152467). There are several known outstanding issues that are being worked on, but detailed bug reports are welcome at port-free...@openafs.org. Open tasks: 1. Update VFS locking to allow the use of disk-based client caches as well as memory-based caches. 2. Track down races and deadlocks that may appear under load. 3. Integrate with the bsd.kmod.mk kernel-module build infrastructure. 4. Eliminate a moderate memory leak from the kernel module. 5.

I should be able to commit it mysqlf if you consider it acceptable. It seems to work for me :) Looks fine, except that -f option have to be the first, that is not obvious. Another moment -- I've noticed some load constants hardcoded there. They should also be handled to make higher values to work properly. I tried to be more explicit in the error message which tries to emphasis the need to put it first. I don't know myself how it would be possible to code it so that the -f doesn't need to be first. Ideas? Do you mean the values around lines of 730 - 762? From what I have observed, if I have a machine that is a little more loaded (say 300%) and the load goes up, it tries to increases the performance to quite high freq (5336) and when the load decreases again, it takes quite a while to go down from 5366 to a frequency that is actually available to decrease the performance (something less than 2934). So the lower frequency is used for too short time because it takes too much time to get it... Seems like it was enabled by default. I have like these: dev.cpu.0.cx_supported: C1/3 C2/96 C3/128 Does that mean I only need to set these in rc.conf?: performance_cx_lowest=C3 economy_cx_lowest=C3 Then run /etc/rc.d/power_profile 0x00? It short - yes. In long - read the link I've given. May it cause any instability? It you won't switch from LAPIC to other timer and it stop - your system will freeze, or at least not work well. You should notice problems immediately, if there are. So I will also need to change the kern.timecounter.hardware to i8254? I suppose it will cause a little less precise time, but should I expect lower performance? I don't care that much about the time accuracy. How do I know the C3 is active?

If not you don't really need to make them just for me, I can wait a little. Last ones I've generated are five months old: http://people.freebsd.org/~mav/timers_merge/ They are large and I am not sure how good they apply now.

Re: powerd / cpufreq question
On Fri, 08 Apr 2011 14:42:04 +0300, Alexander Motin wrote: Hello Alexander, thanks for quick reply; root@[s1-a ~]# powerd -v -r 1000 -i 600 powerd: 1000 is not a valid percent Well, that makes sense, but why powerd itself knows about load 100% but doesn't allow me to specify it? Is this bug? I suppose not if it works for other people... It is reasonable limitation. powerd can't know how load distributed among multiple cores in time. If all cores are equally busy at lets say 10% (that gives 120% total) and cores are never waiting for each other then obviously frequency could be reduced. But if the same 120% mean 100%+20%, or if load is equally spread, but processes on different cores are waiting for each other, then reducing frequency will reduce performance. powerd can't know that and so stays on a safe side. OK, I understand what you are saying here. On the other side, I know pretty well how the load is distributed - in this particular case, the box is a web server, running ~30 php-cgi processes. This kind of operation doesn't require very high frequency and I suspect the cores are never waiting for each other. There could be an option which would allow an administrator to decide whether this is the case and allow him to set a higher -r and -i values, what do you think? Other question would be why powerd wants to set freq 5336, when it is not available at all (would be nice to have it heh.): You may see there it is a wanted frequency, not real one. :) It is internal implementation details. In such way powerd implements keeping a full frequency for some time after the load dropped. It's not a bug. OK :-) I actually though powerd always honors the values from dev.cpu.0.freq_levels (and 5336 is not there), so it looked a little weird to me. On multi-core systems like this power management can better be done on per-core bases. Powerd can't control frequencies on per-core basis (also because it require non-trivial interoperation with scheduler). But if your ACPI BIOS allows, you can try to put unused cores into deeper C-states, that may give better power saving and TurboBoost on busy cores as a bonus. It works better on 9-CURRENT, but on 8-STABLE some bonuses still could be achieved. Any idea what I should look for in the BIOS? This is 8-STABLE, any idea whether there's a MFC plan for the extra 9-CURRENT bonuses? You may want to look here: http://wiki.freebsd.org/TuningPowerConsumption From reading this, are you reffering above to the C2 states? (seems like C3 is not optimal for this kind of operation...)

But first look at dev.cpu.X.cx_supported to make sure it is not already present and just unused. Seems like it was enabled by default. I have like these: dev.cpu.0.cx_supported: C1/3 C2/96 C3/128 Does that mean I only need to set these in rc.conf?: performance_cx_lowest=C3 economy_cx_lowest=C3 Then run /etc/rc.d/power_profile 0x00?

The deeper state, the more power saved. To get most of it and to get TurboBoost working you need at least C3 CPU state (ACPI may report it with different number). Some latest Intel CPUs have no described problems with C3 and LAPIC, for others described system tuning requited. I believe this is pretty recent CPU (6 core Xeon X5650). Do you know about any problems? PS: Using powerd in best case wont hurt performance, while using C-states may even increase it in some cases because of TurboBoost. If I want to use C-states, should I stop to use powerd, or is it possible to use them both together?

During that time also multiple general run-time problems and leaks were identified and fixed including leaked ipfw tables on module unload, routing entries leaked, in case of interfaces going away, as well as leaked link-layer entries in interaction with flowtable and timers. For virtual network stacks resources are are no longer allocated multiple times or freed upon teardown for eventhandlers, IP and upper level layers, like TCP syncache and host cache, flowtable, and especially radix/routing table memory. In addition epair(4) was enhanced and debugging was improved. This work was sponsored by ISPsystem. Open tasks: 1. Merge the remaining patches. 2.

FreeBSD Quarterly Status Report for October - December 2009
Introduction This report covers FreeBSD related projects between October and December 2009. This is the last of the four reports covering 2009, which has shown to be a very important year for the FreeBSD Project. Besides other notable things, a new major version of FreeBSD, 8.0-RELEASE, has been released, while the release process for 7.3-RELEASE is soon to begin. Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! We hope you enjoy reading. Let us also take this opportunity to wish you all a happy and successful new year for 2010. Please note that the deadline for submissions covering the period between January and March 2010 is April 15th, 2010. __ Google Summer of Code * BSD-licensed iconv Projects * 3G USB support * Clang replacing GCC in the base system * FreeBSD TDM Framework * HAST -- Highly Available Storage * Intel XScale hwpmc(9) support * POSIX utmpx for FreeBSD * SUJ -- Journaled SoftUpdates * The webcamd deamon FreeBSD Team Reports * FreeBSD Bugbusting Team * FreeBSD Release Engineering * The FreeBSD Foundation Status Report Network Infrastructure * bwn(4) -- Broadcom Wireless driver * IP Payload Compression Protocol support * Ralink wireless RT2700U/2800U/3000U run(4) USB driver * Syncing pf(4) with OpenBSD 4.5 * Wireless mesh networking Kernel * CAM-based ATA implementation * Group Limit Increase * NFSv4 ACL support * V4L support in Linux emulator Documentation * The FreeBSD German Documentation Project * The FreeBSD Hungarian Documentation Project * The FreeBSD Spanish Documentation Project Architectures * Flattened Device Tree for embedded FreeBSD * FreeBSD/ia64 * FreeBSD/mips * FreeBSD/sparc64 Ports * Chromium web browser * Ports Collection * VirtualBox on FreeBSD Vendor / 3rd Party Software * DAHDI (Zaptel) support for FreeBSD * NVIDIA amd64 driver Miscellaneous * AsiaBSDCon 2010 -- The BSD Conference * BSDCan 2010 -- The BSD Conference * meetBSD 2010 -- The BSD Conference * The FreeBSD Forums Userland utilities * BSD-licensed text processing tools __ 3G USB support Contact: Andrew Thompson thom...@freebsd.org Recently, a bunch of new device IDs have been added for the u3g(4) cellular wireless driver; the list should be comparable now with other operating systems around. A lot of these devices have a feature where the unit first attaches as a disk or CD-ROM that contains the Win/Mac drivers. This state should be detected by the u3g driver and the usb device is sent a command to switch to modem mode. This has been working for quite some time but as it is implemented differently for each vendor I am looking for feedback on any units where the auto switchover is not working (or the init is not recognized at all). Please ensure you are running an up to date kernel, like r201681 or later from 9.0-CURRENT, or 8-STABLE after the future merge of this revision. __ AsiaBSDCon 2010 -- The BSD Conference URL: http://2010.AsiaBSDCon.org/ Contact: AsiaBSDCon Information secret...@asiabsdcon.org AsiaBSDCon is a conference for users and developers on BSD based systems.

During that time a lot of work has been done on wide variety of projects, including the Google Summer of Code projects. The BSDCan conference was held in Ottawa, CA, in May. The EuroBSDCon conference was held in Cambridge, UK, in September. Both events were very successful. A new major version of FreeBSD, 8.0 is to be released soon. If you are wondering what's new in this long-awaited release, read Ivan Voras' excellent summary. Thanks to all the reporters for the excellent work! We hope you enjoy the reading.

During the past year, the BSD# Team continued to track the Mono development and the lang/mono port have almost always been up-to-date (we however had to skip mono-2.2 because of some regression issues in this release). Most of our patches have been merged in the mono trunk upstream, and should be included in the upcoming mono-2.6 release. In the meantime, a few more .NET related ports have been updated or added to the FreeBSD ports tree. These ports include: * www/xsp and www/mod_mono that make it possible to use FreeBSD for hosting ASP.NET application; * lang/boo, a CLI-targeted programming language similar to Python; * lang/mono-basic, the Visual Basic .NET Framework for Mono; * devel/monodevelop, an Integrated Development Environment for .NET; * and much more... Open tasks: 1. Test mono ports and send feedback (we are especially interested in tests where NOPORTDOCS / WITH_DEBUG is enabled). 2. Port the mono-debugger to FreeBSD. 3. Build a debug live-image of FreeBSD so that Mono hackers without a FreeBSD box can help us fixing bugs more efficiently. __ BSD-licensed iconv (Summer of Code 2009) URL: http://wiki.freebsd.org/G%C3%A1borSoC2009 Contact: Gábor Kövesdán ga...@freebsd.org The code has been extracted from

Dear all, I would like to remind you to submit your status reports as soon as possible. Long time has passed since the last status reports were released; and surely a lot has had happened since then. Our developers are relaxed after DevSummit and EuroBSDCon in Cambridge, which both were great! I believe a lot of stuff has been discussed during these events (I hope we will have reports covering this too) and since the last report a lot of things have happened. During that time, two other conferences have been held (BSDCan and AsiaBSDCon), we have released 7.2, not to mention that 8.0 is behind the door. Google Summer of Code should be finished by now too, and we would like to hear about its results. Surely there are a lot more projects which are currently being worked on, so please do not hesitate and write us a few lines - a short description about what you are working on, what are the plans and goals, so we can inform our community about your great work!

Careful there - RELENG_7 is _newer_ than RELENG_7_2. The latter is branched off RELENG_7 at some point and progresses much slower (as in: errata and security, but no development), so that's no update, but often the reverse. That's not definitely true all the time. You could for example update your 7.1 to releng_7, say in Sept. 2008, then run this box until releng_7_2 was branched and when you update to it at that point you actually are doing an update, definitely not a downgrade. -- Kind regards Daniel ___ 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

However, I don't know yet if the interrupt storm is going to be resolved, it needs some time (It always used to take some time until it has showed up). If anything, I found enabling MSI helped matters where I saw strange IRQ issues. However, not sure if the original poster's hardware supports it. One thing it does remind me of is some strange IRQ issues I had on an AMD board where a USB setting for legacy handoff (something like that) would really slow down the machine with an in inordinate amount of IRQs firing. I forget if I had to enable it or disable it to fix the problem. If anything, I would try disabling USB all together if its not being used even though its not figuring in the above really high rate of IRQs. The USB isn't indeed used, I will think about disabling it, and also about trying to move around the em(4) NICs to the other slots.

Although the bugs section of the man page for mount_nullfs is rather scary. Does anyone have any experience with it? Does it actually work? btw unionfs is interesting as well, but the BUGS section is pretty the same :) If the point here is to make /tmp/mysql.sock show up in another jail's file space, can I use a symlink instead? Can a jailed process see the target of the symlink? I read that using such a symlinks has security impacts. -- Best regards DanGer, ICQ: 261701668 | e-mail protecting at: http://www.2pu.net/ http://danger.rulez.sk | proxy list at:http://www.proxy-web.com/ | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve! ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Hi Anthony, Sunday, September 11, 2005, 10:18:36 PM, you has on mind: I'm not seeing much in the way of responses to this post from freebsd-questions, so I thought I'd take it to freebsd-stable, where it is probably more relevant. ;-) Please see my original thread on freebsd-questions for context.

Announcement
The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability
of FreeBSD 5.4-BETA1, which marks the beginning of the FreeBSD 5.4 Release
Cycle.
This BETA1 release is in the same basic format as the Monthly Snapshots,
for this BETA there are no packages on the CDs at all so the install of
things like perl from the installation media will fail. As with the
Snapshots there is however a full ports tarball it offers to install
and you can use that to install the ports (or just download the packages
you want from the FTP mirror sites). The Release Candidates posted
through the next few weeks will contain the package sets.
Availability
The BETA1 ISOs and FTP support are available on most of the FreeBSD Mirror
sites. A list of the mirror sites is available here:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html

ok, since there is official anouncement and there are already posted
some information to news servers like osnews, i think we should update
newvers.sh so people who download BETA1 build wouldn't be confused
with -PRERELEASE branch.

Lots and lots and lots of past experience has shown us that it really freaks some people out if newvers.sh on a RELENG_X branch says anything other than -STABLE, -PRERELEASE, or -RELEASE. ok, if FreeBSD-team's experience is that it's better keeping -PRERELEASE in BETAx builds, keep it, but I personally think that people who download BETA builds shouldn't be misinformed with uname's output that they are using -PRERELEASE build. another thing is that when there will be more BETAs, it will be harder to track bugs, because people reporting them will everytime send that it appears in -PRERELEASE no matter how old their build is... Just before the Release Candidates we will create the RELENG_5_4 branch and the RCs will be based on that. Once that's done we are free to name that RELENG_5_4 branch -RC1, -RC2, etc. But doing that sort of thing on the RELENG_X branches has caused lots of panic-stricken email from people who believe the RELENG_X branches are stable branches and therefore should never have words like -BETA associated with them. well, people tracking RELENG_X should know, that -STABLE branch isn't always so stable as they think it is, or as they expect it, therefore -BETAx in uname's output shouldn't bring those paniced e-mails :) -- Best regards +--==/\/\==--+ FreeBSD | DanGer [EMAIL PROTECTED] | (__)The | [EMAIL PROTECTED] ICQ261701668 | \\\'',)Power | http://danger.homeunix.org |\/ \ ^ To +--==\/\/==--+.\._/_) Serve [ How about washing his underwear in jalapena pepper juice?
