-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 JFYI for those of you who aren't subscribed to the announce_at_ mailing list... 9.0-RELEASE is, finally, announced. The announcement message is available here: http://www.freebsd.org/releases/9.0R/announce.html Lots of you noticed that the 9.0-RELEASE ISO and memstick images appeared on the FTP sites a while ago. But as pointed out this release turned out to be an example of why the "official policy" is that it's not truly released until the announcement email gets sent out. I had not tested using sysinstall(8) to install pre-built packages from the DVD during my initial testing since we're sorta moving away from sysinstall(8). I had just tested installing the pre-built packages using pkg_add(8). Someone noticed sysinstall(8) misbehaved before I got the images put up on Bittorrent and the fix was simply adding one file to the DVD image that the new build infrastructure omitted since bsdinstall(8) doesn't use it. So I went ahead with replacing the DVD images on the FTP site. That's also why we waited longer than normal between the images appearing on the FTP sites and the announcement - we gave extra time to try and make sure the updated images got to all the FTP mirrors. Sorry about the screw-up. If you downloaded the amd64 and/or i386 DVD images before now you might want to check the checksums with the ones posted in the release announcement. The fix to make sysinstall(8) happy about installing from the DVD images was the *only* change made to the updated images. The "bad" images were never available via Bittorrent so if you got the images that way you wouldn't have a bad image. On behalf of the Release Engineering Team and the FreeBSD Developers we hope you enjoy 9.0-RELEASE. - -- Ken Smith - - From there to here, from here to | kensmith_at_buffalo.edu there, funny things are everywhere. | - Theodor Geisel | -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (Darwin) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org/ iEYEARECAAYFAk8PcpsACgkQ/G14VSmup/aLFgCfar7x43ViPu44M3eF8MzvYhOU /z0AnRN1jXDT1fS0UA9J0Trd5sRQcwdy =oU1m -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----Received on Thu Jan 12 2012 - 22:54:16 UTC
