I remember that some systems (Solaris) used the term ACU for "automatic call unit", which just means a modem.

FreeBSD 6.0 will be a much less dramatic step from the FreeBSD 5 branch than the FreeBSD 5 branch was from FreeBSD 4. Much of the work that has gone into 6.0 development has focused on polishing and improving the work from 5.x These changes include streamlining direct device access in the kernel, providing a multi-threaded SMP-safe UFS/VFS filesystem layer, implementing WPA and Host-AP 802.11 features, as well as countless bugfixes and device driver improvements. Major updates and improvements have been made to ACPI power and thermal management, ATA, and many aspects of the network infrastructure. 32bit application support for AMD64 is also greatly improved, as is compatiblity with certain Athlon64 motherboards.

It should be quite easy to deploy and maintain 5.x and 6.x machines side-by-side and migrate them as the need arises. We don't want people to be stranded on RELENG_5 like they were with RELENG_4. 6.x offers everything of 5.x, but with better performance and (hopefully) better stability. If you're thinking about evaluating 5.x, give 6.0 a try also. Does that mean that a cvsup with "*default tag=RELENG_6" and a rebuilt of the world will work smoothly? Would it work at all? Is it even recommended? I suspect that re-compiling every port is a good idea after making the world in any case. I've run into two stumbles that are easily worked around once known: (1) I had to rm -Rf /usr/obj/... because incremental buildworld seemed unhappy as a result of directory and content changes. I don't know what that is. (2) /dev/cuaa* has been renamed to /dev/cuad* Otherwise, be aware that as with 5.x running 4.x binaries, 6.x needs compat stuff to run 5.x binaries. My intuition is that this is an area of the 6.x release that will need further honing, as I'm not sure there's a COMPAT5X library set in 6.x yet. If you're doing an incremental buildworld, this won't be a problem, but if you install a new 6.x machine, it might be. Likewise, BETA1 shipped without the kernel compat option, which won't affect most binaries, but this will be fixed in BETA2. So I think the usual advice holds true in general: do it on a test machine first, and backup, before your production machine with 10,000 users and your only copy of all your data. :-) 6.x seems to be flawlessly picking up work from my 5.x machines now, and generally working better. And hopefully in another week I'll get the netstat -mb fixes for SMP merged to RELENG_6 so that the mbuf allocation counters don't leak under high load on SMP resulting in erroneous statistics, a bug that has irritated me substantially in the 5.x branch.

I'm not the developer guy so I can't tell you anything authoritative but I know that there has been an awful perfomance degradation when mounting nullfs-filesystems into a jail under RELENG_5, espacially noticable with apache!

Re: FreeBSD 6.0-BETA1 Available
While Scott's and Colin's responses should be viewed as canonical, for the record the place that the support matrix is documented is on the Security web page at http://www.freebsd.org/security/security.html#adv. Note that this only applies to the _security_ team. Traditionally the ports team has tried to keep everything going on at least those branches; however, in the near future this is going to start becoming more problematic, due to both the growth in the number of ports; the larger number of simultaneous -stable releases we are trying to support; and the fact that many developers have moved away from 4.X. (In particular, it is my understanding that the next release of GNOME due this fall is not going to be supported, by default, on 4.X; the next major release of KDE, due sometime later this year, will probably not be either. From this, it might be reasonable to conclude that the time that 4.X is viable for the desktop are drawing to a close.) Also to reiterate, the differences (at least for ports) between 5.X and 6.X is much smaller than for 4.X and 5.X; the difference between 6.X and 7.X is even smaller than that. Although I can't cite statistics in this case, my guess from reading the mailing lists is that most ports work is now being done on 5.X or 6.X and then only retrofitted to 4.X when demand warrants it. Finally, consider that if you want to upgrade from 4.X to 6.X without doing a complete reinstall, IIRC you will have to first upgrade to 5.X on the way in any case. Of course, whether or not one should do a complete reinstall between major versions _anyway_ is another discussion entirely. As a side-note, due to the size requirements in the FTP archives, it is becoming increasingly difficult to house packages for every supported release. Although there is no concrete decision yet, it seems likely that we will need to drop the 5.3-RELEASE packages and only archive packages for 5.4-RELEASE and 5-STABLE. If so, this will probably set a precedent for future releases (e.g. only having the latest release and latest snapshot for each major release). These are all things that people should take into account when trying to decide which release to upgrade to. My own view is that users who want to use packages are really going to be well-advised to be on either 5.4 or 6.0 pretty quickly; and that anyone who wishes to stay on 4.X for much longer should be prepared to increasingly provide their own ports support. mcl ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

I'm just about to deploy a new server, and was *going* to go with 5.x, but would I be better just skipping 5.x altogether? Or are there such drastic changes in 6.x that doing so at this time wouldn't be prudent? There will be a 5.5 release this fall and possibly a 5.6 a few months after that. Per the standard procedure, the security team will support the branch for 2 years after the final release. There will likely be other developers who have an interest in backporting changes to RELENG_5 for some time to come, just as has been done with RELENG_4. So the earliest that RELENG_5 will be de-supported is late 2007. However Part of the purpose of moving quickly on to RELENG_6 is so that the migration work for users from 5.x to 6.x is very small. 6.x is really just an evolutionary step from 5.x, not the life-altering revolutionary step that 4.x->5.x was. It should be quite easy to deploy and maintain 5.x and 6.x machines side-by-side and migrate them as the need arises. We don't want people to be stranded on RELENG_5 like they were with RELENG_4. 6.x offers everything of 5.x, but with better performance and (hopefully) better stability. If you're thinking about evaluating 5.x, give 6.0 a try also.

The FreeBSD Security Team will support FreeBSD 5.x until at least the end of September 2007. Support from other teams and the ports tree may end sooner, but since there aren't very large differences between 5.x and 6.x I doubt there will be many problems. > I'm just about to deploy a new server, and was > *going* to go with 5.x, but would I be better just skipping 5.x > altogether?

To post my opinion to the last part of the question: I'm also deploying new servers and I'll take RELENG_6 since there are so many improovements (nullfs in jails etc.) and 6-current has been pretty stable for me on my UP workstation with all kinds of new stuff enabled (ULE PREEMPTION), so I guess I won't see more troubles than with 5.4, I think less :) -Harry > > On Fri, 15 Jul 2005, Scott Long wrote: > > Announcement > > > > > > The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the > > availability of FreeBSD 6.0-BETA1, which marks the beginning of the > > FreeBSD 6.0 Release Cycle. > > > > FreeBSD 6.0 will be a much less dramatic step from the FreeBSD 5 > > branch than the FreeBSD 5 branch was from FreeBSD 4.

FreeBSD 6.0-BETA1 Available
Announcement The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability of FreeBSD 6.0-BETA1, which marks the beginning of the FreeBSD 6.0 Release Cycle. FreeBSD 6.0 will be a much less dramatic step from the FreeBSD 5 branch than the FreeBSD 5 branch was from FreeBSD 4. Much of the work that has gone into 6.0 development has focused on polishing and improving the work from 5.x These changes include streamlining direct device access in the kernel, providing a multi-threaded SMP-safe UFS/VFS filesystem layer, implementing WPA and Host-AP 802.11 features, as well as countless bugfixes and device driver improvements. Major updates and improvements have been made to ACPI power and thermal management, ATA, and many aspects of the network infrastructure. 32bit application support for AMD64 is also greatly improved, as is compatiblity with certain Athlon64 motherboards. This release is also the first to feature experimental PowerPC support for the Macintosh G3 and G4 platforms. This BETA1 release is in the same basic format as the Monthly Snapshots. For most of the architectures only the ISO images are available though the FTP install tree is available for a couple of the architectures. We encourage people to help with testing so any final bugs can be identified and worked out. Availability of ISO images is given below. If you have an older system you want to update using the normal CVS/cvsup source based upgrade the branch tag to use is RELENG_6 (though that will change for the Release Candidates later). Problem reports can be submitted using the send-pr(1) command. The list of open issues and things still being worked on are on the todo list: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/6.0R/todo.html Since this is the first release of a new branch we only have a rough idea for some of the dates.
