The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the + availability of FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE. This release starts off the + new 8-STABLE branch which improves on the functionality of FreeBSD + 7.X and introduces many new features. 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:

+ + + +

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

+ + + + +

Dedication

+ +

The FreeBSD Project dedicates this release to the memories of + Jean-Marc Zucconi (jmz@) and John Birrell (jb@) who passed away in + May and November of 2009 respectively. Jean-Marc and John were + both FreeBSD committers since the mid-1990s and made extensive + contributions to the operating system. They will be missed.

+ +

Availability

+ +

FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE is now available for the amd64, i386, ia64, + pc98, powerpc, and sparc64 architectures.

+ +

FreeBSD 8.0 can be installed from bootable ISO images or over the + network. Some architectures (currently amd64 and i386) also + support installing from a USB memory stick. 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 amd64 and i386.

+ +

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

+ +

The purpose of the images provided as part of the release are as + follows:

+ +
+
dvd1
+ +

This contains everything necessary to install the base + FreeBSD operating system, a collection of pre-built packages, + and the documentation. It also supports booting into a + "livefs" based rescue mode. This should be all you need if + you can burn and use DVD-sized media.

+ +
disc1
+ +

This contains the base FreeBSD operating system and the + documentation packages for CDROM-sized media. There are no + other packages.

+ +
livefs
+ +

This contains support for booting into a "livefs" based + rescue mode but does not support doing an install from the CD + itself. It is meant to help rescue an existing system but + could be used to do a network based install if + necessary.

+ +
bootonly
+ +

This supports booting a machine using the CDROM drive but + does not contain the support for installing FreeBSD from the + CD itself. You would need to perform a network based install + (e.g. from an FTP server) after booting from the CD.

+ +
memstick
+ +

This can be written to an USB memory stick (flash drive) and + used to do an install on machines capable of booting off USB + drives. It also supports booting into a "livefs" based rescue + mode. The documentation packages are provided but no other + packages.

+ +

As one example of how to use the memstick image, assuming the + USB drive appears as /dev/da0 on your machine + something like this should work:

+ + 
# dd if=8.0-RELEASE-amd64-memstick.img of=/dev/da0 bs=10240 conv=sync
+ +

Be careful to make sure you get the target (of=) correct.

+
+ +

FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM or DVD from + several vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD + 8.0-based products is:

+ + + +

BitTorrent

+ +

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

+ + + +

FTP

+ +

At the time of this announcement the following FTP sites have + FreeBSD 8.0-RELEASE available.

+ + + +

However before trying these sites please check your regional + mirror(s) first by going to:

+ + + +

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

+ +

More information about FreeBSD mirror sites can be found at:

+ + + +

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:

+ + + +

Updates from Source

+ +

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

+ + + +

The branch tag to use for updating the source is RELENG_8_0.

+ +

FreeBSD Update

+ +

The freebsd-update(8) utility supports binary upgrades of i386 + and amd64 systems running earlier FreeBSD releases. Systems + running 7.[012]-RELEASE, 8.0-BETA[1234], or 8.0-RC[123] can + upgrade as follows:

+ + 
# freebsd-update upgrade -r 8.0-RELEASE
+ +

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:

+ + 
# freebsd-update install
+ +

At this point, users of systems being upgraded from FreeBSD + 8.0-BETA2 or earlier will be prompted by freebsd-update to rebuild + all third-party applications (e.g., ports installed from the ports + tree) due to updates in system libraries. See:

+ + + +

for more details. After updating installed third-party + applications (and again, only if freebsd-update printed a message + indicating that this was necessary), run freebsd-update again so + that it can delete the old (no longer used) system libraries:

+ + 
# freebsd-update install
+ +

Finally, reboot into 8.0-RELEASE:

+ + 
# shutdown -r now
+ +

Support

+ +

The FreeBSD Security Team currently plans to support FreeBSD 8.0 until + November 30th, 2010. For more information on the Security Team and + their support of the various FreeBSD branches see:

+ + + +

Acknowledgments

+ +

Many companies donated equipment, network access, or man-hours to + support the release engineering activities for FreeBSD 8.0 + including The FreeBSD Foundation, Hewlett-Packard, Yahoo!, NetApp, + Internet Systems Consortium, and Sentex Communications.

 4 Portmgr reorganization

Portmgr is happy to announce that two new members will join the team.

Martin Wilke has been one of our most active committers since receiving his commit bit today 3 years ago. He has been working in a number of subgroups including python, ports-security and the KDE team.

Ion-Mihai Tetcu has been interested in regression testing and qualitiy assurance, creating QAT automated tinderbox testing of all port commits on a per-commit basis, and adding on-the-fly feedback to the snapshot builds from the pointyhat package cluster.

Unfortunately, we will also be saying goodbye to Kirill Ponomarew, who hasn't had much time to spend on FreeBSD and will be stepping down from portmgr.

We thank Kirill for all his contributions in the past and wish Martin and Ion-Mihai the best of luck with the new tasks bestowed upon them.
