MidnightBSD 0.1-RELEASE is now available. It includes several software packages |
| 86 |
< |
such as ksh, sudo, OpenNTPD, gcc 3.4.4, BIND 9.3.4 (plus patch) and others in |
| 87 |
< |
the base system. Disc 1 ISO includes the entire Operating System and X11 (xorg 6.9) |
| 88 |
< |

| 89 |
< |
GNUstep, bash 3, zsh, and cups-base. There are additional packages on our FTP |
| 90 |
< |

| 91 |
< |
This release is intended for enthusiests, developers and people interested in |
| 92 |

<h4>0.1-RELEASE Errata</h4> |
| 102 |
< |
<pre> |
| 103 |
< |
Installation issues |
| 104 |
< |
|
| 105 |
< |
projectcenter.app package is missing dependancies on disc2. |
| 106 |
< |
mutt package is missing urlview dependancy on disc2. |
| 107 |
< |
|
| 108 |
< |
GNUstep package includes gdnc which is missing libgcc_s.so.1. |
| 109 |
< |
|
| 110 |
< |
bash 3 and gmake missing libintl.so.6. This can be fixed by uninstalling gettext |
| 111 |
< |
and building it from the port. A new package was placed on the FTP server. |
| 112 |
< |
|
| 113 |
< |
System issues |
| 114 |
< |
|
| 115 |
< |
CVSUP example for updating src fetches CURRENT instead of RELENG_0_1 |
| 116 |
< |
|
| 117 |
< |
The new mports system was not included in the RELEASE. Many ports work in |
| 118 |
< |
mports that do not work in the old system. It is suggested that you update |
| 119 |
< |
your source using RELENG_0_1 and download the latest mports using CVS or CVSup. |
| 120 |
< |
|
| 121 |
< |
Using Virtual PC for Windows: |
| 122 |
< |
If you install MidnightBSD in VPC, you will need to set hint.acpi.0.disabled="1" |
| 123 |
< |
in /boot/device.hints This will help with the "calcru: negative runtime of" issue. |
| 124 |
< |
|
| 125 |
< |
August 11, 2007: |
| 126 |
< |
The pkg_install tools found in src/usr.sbin/pkg_install were not updated for |
| 127 |
< |
mports. This has been corrected. You should be able to cvs update that directory |
| 128 |
< |
and run make install and get the new versions of pkg_add, pkg_delete, and so on. |
| 129 |
