ISO images and, for architectures that support it, the memory stick images are available
The first release candidate builds of the 3.5 release is now available
on SourceForge for LXDE and Xfce on amd64 and i386 architectures.
. According to Justin Gibbs of the FreeBSD Foundation: this is a
cross-platform effort to ensure the continued evolution of the ZFS file
system. For developers and users of FreeBSD, the formation of OpenZFS
clarifies the future of ZFS support for our platform. The FreeBSD
project is now an equal partner in defining the course for ZFS. OpenZFS
combines the man power of the FreeBSD, Illumos, Linux, and MacOS
communities to provide a level of test coverage, feature development,
documenation, and support that wasn't possible with our separate
efforts. Most importantly, OpenZFS will improve platform
interoperability and reduce fragmentation of ZFS implementations.
DragonFly has two included compilers – GCC 4.4, and GCC 4.7.
Traditionally, we switch from one compiler to the other as default, and
then replace the old one with a newer release, and so on.
Until recently, dports built almost exclusively using GCC 4.4. John
Marino’s switching to GCC 4.7, for a variety of reasons he lists in
a recent post to users@.
The MirOS Project is proud to announce that the
NetInstall area contains
a fresh snapshot of MirBSD-current for the i386 and sparc
architectures. In due time, a hand-crafted Live ISO image,
with some packages configured and grml-mir added, will be
published here, so watch this space ;-)
As someone in
IRC already
mentioned, MirBSD is currently published on a “rolling release”
schedule (although we’ll eventually release MirBSD #11… some
day). The snapshots are intended mainly for people to use when
installing, or trying out MirBSD, but also as an upgrade aid
(so recompiling afterwards (to be even more up to date) is
very easy) and a baseline for binary packages (although there
have been few (though MuPDF is a recent noteworthy addition)
MirPorts packages lately, and I somehow doubt bsiegert@ wants
me to gift one of my SPARCstation boxen to him for building
pkgsrc® quarterlies).
Did I forget some important news? Let the others know in comments!
