up_the_irons: jeeze.. you're low on stock already?
up_the_irons: egads, ads, wikia I guess makes a living off spamming everyone with ads for hosting their wiki stuff
up_the_irons: w/out ads and w/some tie in to existing customer id's might even be a plus for hosting your own wiki.. I'd vote no ads whatever you choose ;-)
yay FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE.
finally!
yay
release early.  release often.  release completely.
wait.  where do you see it announced?
finally?
it's been out for two days ;/
I'd be happy with just "release often" and "release completely".
there's no mention on freebsd-announce
and yes, release early = a bad thing imho ;)
It's still not announced on the home page of freebsd.org .
was it announced on some other list?
remember freebsd 5? ;)
We have a firewall running 4.11
4 was awesome
the last version I used
5 was were I gave up on FreeBSD
Geeks are the kind of people who remember individual versions of software.
so how do we know it has been released?
cos it's on the ftp servers...
the /topic for ##freebsd still says 8.0-R-p4
and how do you know that's the final release?
cvstag?
because it's been uploaded as 8.1-RELEASE
are you sure that's not the rc?
i agree there should be an announcement
yes
normally RC's say RC
are you guys so old school you won't even check the website? http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.1R/schedule.html
RELEASE build	09 July 2010	-	8.1-RELEASE built.
I did and it said not readly yet.
that's why I'm still confused :)
it was kicking around on the 18th, as 8.1-RELEASE
relnotes aren't ready 404 on http://www.FreeBSD.org/releases/8.1R/relnotes.html
that's probably why no announce yet
i believe it's still spreading to mirrors
that said, it's taking longer than usual to spread if that's the case
3/win3
I should try upgrading my vmware image
to see how many things break :)
so far, so good here
i was building a fresh dev box yesterday so shoved 8.1 on to try it out
not had any issues so far
it'd be nice if I had the release notes though
so I can see what I would be concerned about
i agree
Colin Percival mentioned it on twitter.
But he added that it hasn't been officially announced yet.
infrared: yeah, that server went fast b/c i had a lot of people on the pre-order list chomping at the bit to get one...
toddf: yeah, i'm gonna pass on wikia
Im not seeing any 8.1 isos on any of the mirrors im checking
and and i think it would be uploaded to ftp.freebsd.org first eh?
i got it from ftp.uk.freebsd.org twiggz
Those British with their dry sense of humor got you.
that said, it's also on ftp.freebsd.org
that redirects to http://aminet.net/
/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/8.1-RELEASE
use an ftp client?
yep
its there
bobbo here is right
i found it
:)
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/8.1/FreeBSD-8.1-RELEASE-i386-bootonly.iso
that's the puppy
i think ill wait.
hehe
i've not done that yet either :)
not quite brave enough
Ive used freebsd-update to update versions before...its a hell of a lot quicker and easier than from src
yeah, it is good
you can look at http://remotehost.co while doing it to get the warm an fuzzy feeling
hah, not seen remotehost.co before
