+ Subject: [FreeBSD-Announce] FreeBSD 6.3 Released

+ +

The FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is pleased to announce the availability +of FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE. This release continues the development of the +6-STABLE branch providing performance and stability improvements, many +bug fixes and 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:

http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.3R/relnotes.html +
+http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/6.3R/errata.html

+ +

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

+ +

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

+ +

The FreeBSD Security Team intends to support 6.3-RELEASE until January 31st, +2010.

+ +

Dedication

+ +

FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE is dedicated to the memory of Dr. Jun-ichiro Hagino, +known throughout the Internet community as itojun, for his visionary work +on the IPv6 protocol and his many other contributions to the Internet and +BSD communities.

+ +

Availability

+ +

FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE is now available for the alpha, amd64, i386, pc98, +and sparc64 architectures. It 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'', 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. +In addition, ``disc1'' supports booting into a live CD-based filesystem and +system rescue mode. 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 intend to install ports from source +instead of using the pre-built packages included with the release only +``disc1'' is needed.

+ +

FreeBSD 6.3-RELEASE can also be purchased on CD-ROM from several +vendors. One of the vendors that will be offering FreeBSD 6.3-based +products is:

+ + + +

Bittorrent

+ +

6.3-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

+ +

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 6.3 from +older releases (in particular, older than 6.3-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 6.3-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

+ +Finally, freebsd-update.sh needs to be run one more time to install +the new userland components, and the system needs to be rebooted one +last time: + +

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

+

# shutdown -r now

+ +For more information, see: + +
