The second of the Release Candidates for the FreeBSD 8.0 release cycle
is now available. At this point we feel most of what has been
discovered during public testing that is feasible to fix as part of the
release process has been addressed. So the current plan is to have
8.0-RC3 in about two weeks.
If you notice problems you can report them through the normal Gnats PR
system or on the freebsd-current mailing list. I do cross-post
announcements to freebsd-stable because this particular release is
"about to become a stable branch" but when it comes to watching for
issues related to the release most of the developers pay more attention
to the freebsd-current list.
ISO images for all supported architectures are available on the FTP
sites, and a "memory stick" image is available for amd64/i386
architectures. For amd64/i386 architectures the cdrom and memstick
images include the documentation packages but no other packages. The
DVD image includes the packages that will probably be available on the
official release media but is subject to change between now and release.
For sparc64 there is now a livefs cdrom, disc1 includes the
documentation packages, and the DVD image has the set of packages that
currently build for sparc64 (which is a sub-set of the set provided for
amd64/i386).
