Re: Apache PBI what's up?

Hey, when you guys get a chance, test the latest apache22 PBI on pbidir. It should be working
properly now, does here anyway :)

8.0 ALPHA for your inspection

Testers,

We've gotten a PC-BSD 8.0 ALPHA ISO to the point where the brave can begin to take a look at some of it's
new features, and test out the new FreeBSD 8 on your hardware. This release is for 32bit only, after FreeBSD 8.0
is released we'll begin the amd64 builds as well. Also, we have not begun to build the PBI tree for 8.0, and will
do so after FreeBSD 8.0 releases. However, you can still install 7.x PBIs on 8.0, but they may not all
perform properly.

*WARNING* *WARNING* *WARNING*

This is obviously a very early alpha build, so expect plenty of bugs and missing features. This is mainly
a release for previewing what's to come, we will begin a more serious bug hunt after we finish implementing all
the new features for 8.0.

*WARNING* *WARNING* *WARNING*

-- Changes implemented already --

* Built on FreeBSD 8.0-BETA2

* Includes KDE 4.3.1 / QT 4.5.2

will we be able to test and start approving 8.x pbis using this version 
of PCBSD or should we wait?

Re: 8.0 ALPHA for your inspection

OK, a couple of problems right off the bat. First, the nVidia drivers  
are a no go for me. I get to the configuration screen and select my  
settings. When I click on apply I get the normal box about testing the  
settings and I then get the black text screen. After a few seconds I  
get an error message.   link_elf: Symbol dev2unit undefined and then  
the system reboots. It does boot just fine if I select the nv driver.  
I tried the latest three nVidia drivers in the list and the all give  
the same error message. Second, it doesn't look like any of the  
programs I selected to install during the installation process  
actually installed. Also, up date manager says it can't connect to the  
server.

On a positive note this alpha provided the incentive I needed to blow  
away my Windows 7 RC install. Thanks for that at least Kris.

Re: 8.0 ALPHA for your inspection

Opps, thanks for reminding me of that. I should have remember to put it
in the e-mail I sent. The nvidia drivers don't work yet, am waiting for
FBSD 8.0-Release to hit before I regen them all. Also the PBIs aren't
included, so optional components wont work just yet. I will also
start building PBIs once 8.0-Rel hits, that way they are built
on the final ABI.

For now wait, once FreeBSD 8.0 is officially released, I'll start building 8.0
PBIs on our build server, and re-roll an ISO for both 32bit & 64bit based
on it.
