FreeBSD 9.1-RC2 Available...

The second release candidate of the 9.1-RELEASE release cycle is now available on the FTP servers for amd64, i386, ia64, powerpc, and powerpc64. The MD5/SHA256 checksums are at the bottom of this message. The ISO images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick images are available here: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/ISO-IMAGES/9.1/ (or any of the FreeBSD mirror sites). A third RC build has been decided on, currently scheduled for a week from now. The release builds themselves will begin about a week after RC3. The current target schedule has been updated: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.1R/schedule.html If you notice any problems you can report them through the normal Gnats PR system or here on the -stable mailing list. There was enough "community push-back" from the decision to not export the 9.1 release branch activity to CVS that the decision has been reversed. A firm decision has been made that 10.X release activity will not be exported to CVS. It hasn't been decided yet if the upcoming 8.X and/or 9.X (past 9.1) release activity will be exported. More information about that will get posted as decisions get made. If you want to do a source-based update to an existing system using SVN the branch to use is releng/9.1. If you would like to use CVS instead use RELENG_9_1. The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems running 9.0-RELEASE, 9.1-BETA1, or 9.1-RC1 can upgrade as follows: # freebsd-update upgrade -r 9.1-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 7.X, 8.X) can also use freebsd-update to upgrade to FreeBSD 9.1-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 7.X or FreeBSD 8.X and FreeBSD 9.X.
