PC-BSD 10.0-RC5
The next PC-BSD 10.0-RELEASE-p4 image (based upon FreeBSD 10.0-RC5) is now available for download!
This will likely be our LAST RC before issuing the 10.0-FINAL release in a week or so. Please report any outstanding issues to our bug database.
*** NOTE to users of 10.0-RC4 or earlier ***
Due to an ABI change in FreeBSD between RC4 and RC5, you will need to re-install *all* packages and PBIs after updating to RC5.
To update your packages, use the following command:
pkg-static upgrade –f
NOTE: This is best done immediately after the upgrade, before rebooting into RC5.

Go testing for DragonFly
Brad Fitzpatrick showed up on the users@ list and mentioned that for DragonFly to be supported in Go, it needed to show up in the Go Dashboard with building reports. I now have the Go builder running on pkgbox32/pkgbox64.dragonflybsd.org. Check the builder page to see status.
DragonFlyBSD.org status page
Antonio Huete set up a DragonFly status page on status.io.
