FreeBSD 7.0 RC2 coming monday/tuesday

Posted on January 26th, 2008 by Yousef Ourabi

I’m a lurker on a lot of the FreeBSD mailing lists … and found this interesting blurb from Ken Smith somewhat un-officially announcing that 7.0 RC2 would be released early next week and would hopefully be the last RC release

Quick summary we’re shooting for getting 7.0-RC2 done Real Soon Now
(originally targetted this weekend but three things came up through the
past day or two that will delay it to Monday-ish) and we hope that’s the
last of the RCs

    Hmm still nothing and it’s already Wednesday. I’ve really screwed up my FreeBSD system and it needs a reinstall. I’m very impatient for 7.0 final. Hopefully they’ll still make the mid February release date currently planned

    Yea, they have been pretty consistently late — this is open source so it is done when it is done — but… their time estimates could be a bit better as well.

    In the meantime, what have you done to your system that requires a re-install? Almost everything is recoverable.

    You could install RC1 and then just use the standard update process (cvsup, makebuildworld)…

    HTH.
