+ Subject: [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD 7.0 Released

+ +

The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability +of FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE. This is the first release from the 7-STABLE branch +which introduces many new features along with many improvements to +functionality present in the earlier branches. Some of the highlights:

+ + + +

For a complete list of new features and known problems, please see the +online release notes and errata list, available at:

+ +

http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/7.0R/relnotes.html +
+http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/7.0R/errata.html

+ +

For more information about FreeBSD release engineering activities, +please see:

+ +

http://www.FreeBSD.org/releng/

+ +

Availability

+ +

FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386, ia64, pc98, +and powerpc architectures. The version for the sparc64 architecture will +become available in a few days. Some of the package builds are still +in progress.

+ +

FreeBSD 7.0 can be installed from bootable ISO images or over the network; +the required files can be downloaded via FTP or BitTorrent as described in +the sections below. While some of the smaller FTP mirrors may not carry all +architectures, they will all generally contain the more common ones, such as +i386 and amd64.

+ +

MD5 and SHA256 hashes for the release ISO images are included at the +bottom of this message.

+ +

The contents of the ISO images provided as part of the release has changed +for most of the architectures. Using the i386 architecture as an example, +there are ISO images named ``bootonly'', ``disc1'', ``disc2'', ``disc3'', ``livefs'', +and ``docs''. The ``bootonly'' image is suitable for booting a machine to do a +network based installation using FTP or NFS. The ``disc1'', ``disc2'', and +``disc3'' images are used to do a full installation that includes a basic set +of packages and does not require network access to an FTP or NFS server +during the installation. To boot into a ``live CD-based filesystem'' and +system rescue mode ``disc1'' and ``livefs'' are needed. The ``docs'' image has +all of the documentation for all supported languages. Most people will find +that ``disc1'', ``disc2'' and ``disc3'' are all that are needed if you want to +install some packages during the initial install, and just ``disc1'' if you +prefer to install packages after the initial install is completed.

+ +

FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM from several +vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD 7.0-based +products is:

+ + + +

Bittorrent

+ +

7.0-RELEASE ISOs are available via BitTorrent. A collection of torrent +files to download the images is available at:

+ +

http://torrents.freebsd.org:8080/

+ +

FTP

+ +The primary mirror site is: + +

ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/

+ +

However, before trying the central FTP site, please check your regional +mirror(s) first by going to:

+ +

ftp://ftp.<yourdomain>.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD

+ +

Any additional mirror sites will be labeled ftp2, ftp3 and so on.

+ +

More information about FreeBSD mirror sites can be found at:

+ +

http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/mirrors-ftp.html

+ +

For instructions on installing FreeBSD, please see Chapter 2 of The +FreeBSD Handbook. It provides a complete installation walk-through +for users new to FreeBSD, and can be found online at:

+ +

http://www.FreeBSD.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install.html

+ +

Updating Existing Systems

+ +

An upgrade of any existing system to FreeBSD 7.0-RELEASE constitutes +a major version upgrade, so no matter which method you use to update an +older system you should reinstall any ports you have installed on the machine. +This will avoid binaries becoming linked to inconsistent sets of libraries +when future port upgrades rebuild one port but not others that link to it. +This can be done with:

+ +

# portupgrade -faP

+ +

after updating your system. Note some of the tools to help with this +or the instructions below for FreeBSD Update are not installed by default +(e.g. portupgrade, gpg, or similar tools like portmaster).

+ +

Updates from Source

+ +

The procedure for doing a source code based update is described in the +FreeBSD Handbook:

+ +

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/synching.html

+

http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/makeworld.html

+ +

The branch tag to use for updating the source is RELENG_7_0.

+ +

FreeBSD Update

+ +

Starting with FreeBSD 6.3, the freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary +upgrades of i386 and amd64 systems systems running earlier FreeBSD releases, +release candidates, and betas. Users upgrading to FreeBSD 7.0 from +older releases (in particular, older than 7.0-RC1) will need to +download an updated version of freebsd-update(8) that supports upgrading +to a new release.

+ +

# fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~cperciva/freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz

+ +Downloading and verifying the digital signature for the tarball +(signed by the FreeBSD Security Officer's PGP key) is highly +recommended. + +

# fetch http://people.freebsd.org/~cperciva/freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz.asc

+

# gpg --verify freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz.asc freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz

+ +The new freebsd-update(8) can then be extracted and run as follows: + +

# tar -xf freebsd-update-upgrade.tgz

+

# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf -r 7.0-RELEASE upgrade

+

# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install

+ +The system must be rebooted with the newly installed kernel before +continuing. + +

# shutdown -r now

+ +

Next, freebsd-update.sh needs to be run again to install the new userland +components, after which all ports should be recompiled to link to new +libraries:

+ +

# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install

+

# portupgrade -faP

+ +

Finally, freebsd-update.sh needs to be run one last time to remove old +system libraries, after which the system should be rebooted in order +that the updated userland and ports will be running:

+ +

# sh freebsd-update.sh -f freebsd-update.conf install

+

# shutdown -r now

+ +

+ +

Support

+ +

The FreeBSD Security Team currently plans to support FreeBSD 7.0 until +February 28th, 2009. For more information on the Security Team and +their support of the various FreeBSD branches see:
