FreeBSD 7.2 on schedule

Remko — Sun, 26 Apr 2009 16:12:41 +0000

We are closely following the schedule for FreeBSD 7.2, and so far we are on the correct schedule. Some caveats had been resolved lately, especially it seems with if_bce. Please give RC2 a spin and report any regression etc to us so that we can try to fix this.

How popular is FreeBSD 7.1 and should I proceed with my info?

So i wrote some articles recently for 7.1 and the release-cycle around it to try and provide as much possible information without telling you all things that we as a project cannot make true etc. I see that my “how to upgrade to 7.1″ article is being read a lot, in fact it is one of the most popular items in my entire article-range. Which made me wonder about a few things, which I hope that you (my readers) can answer:

*) Is FreeBSD 7.1 long awaited and popular?
*) Aren’t there enough documents that provide this straight to the point information? (Do this and this and you have 7.1 running)
*) Should I proceed with these kind of articles for the future release-cycle’s?
*) How is 7.1 being received? Do you like it? Do you hate it?

Reasons I want to know this, is whether I should bring in my attention to this area now which I might be doing a ‘difference’ again, and whether it really helps the community or not. And last but not least ofcourse, we tried to work hard to bring you the best release possible, but I personally cannot entirely judge how the community received our work. I think we did great, but I cannot speak for you

If you read this, and are willing to help, please respond to this article

Thanks,
Remko
