Isn't someone out there doing a nightly scripted make world? How about doing a make release after? Lars I did make release before if I simply want a bootable and up-to-date iso image, but it costs too much time. : IMHO, unless you want a customized, locally hacked cvs repository become a iso, you don't have to expend time on making release. Last time (2 days ago) I packed a releng_4 iso to install FreeBSD on an old box, which has no workable NIC, no usable floppy, only a 12X CDROM. The time consumes for make/burn the iso is around 10 minutes :-) -- pub 1024D/F8D2B472 2000-08-05 Clive Lin [EMAIL PROTECTED] Key fingerprint = 7F9D 57A8 55C7 AA18 49B5 3820 570B 27F6 F8D2 B472 To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Re: ISO image available?
jkh No, since I don't do release engineering that way, but someone else jkh should certainly feel free to do this. :) Speaking about current.jp.FreeBSD.org... I wrote shell/perl-scripts to do some job, and shifted the release engineering responsibility onto cron(8) :-) You can fetch from most scripts (not 'all', so they don't work as it is) are available at URL:http://current.jp.FreeBSD.org/scripts/. -- - Makoto `MAR' MATSUSHITA To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Re: ISO image available?
They're not in ISO format, but releases from both -stable and -current are available from releng4.freebsd.org and current.freebsd.org (hmm, there should also be a stable.freebsd.org - I'll request that). From those bits, it's pretty easy to make an image with mkisofs/mkhybrid - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
Re: ISO image available?
There used to be a similar snapshot server for -stable, but it seems to have disappeared. Hurm? releng4.freebsd.org has been around for ages. Before that it was called releng3.freebsd.org, hence the name change. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
ISO image available?
Hi, I'd like to try -current on a few machines. Is there a recent snapshot available as an ISO image somewhere? It'd be much faster than cvsup'ing and making world. Which leads to a more generic question: Wouldn't daily ISO snapshots of -stable and -current be nice to have? (On days when the makes go through.) There's probably some good reason why we don't have this; it'd make it a lot easier to test-drive bug-fixes though. Lars PS: Please CC me personally on responses, I'm not on -current.

larse I'd like to try -current on a few machines. Is there a recent larse snapshot available as an ISO image somewhere? It'd be much larse faster than cvsup'ing and making world. URL:ftp://current.jp.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/snapshots/i386/ISO-IMAGES/ It's not the same of current.FreeBSD.org's distribution (to show the diference, its version string is named '5.0-CURRENT-MMDD-JPSNAP'), but it SHOULD be the same thing.
