Watt soll denn hier hin?
FreeBSD 5.3-BETA6 ist nun offiziell erschienen. Bereits gestern war es nach meinem CVSUP schon auf den Servern:

Anbei die offizielle Mail von Scott Long.

FreeBSD Release Engineering Team is proud to announce the
availability of FreeBSD 5.3-BETA6. This is the sixth BETA of the 5.3
release cycle. It is intended for early adopters and those wishing to
help find and/or fix bugs. The 5.3 release cycle will continue with
weekly BETA builds while bugs are being fixed and features finalized.
The schedule is at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/schedule.html.
Be sure to check the "Known issues" below, there are known problems
still being worked on at this time.

IMPORTANT:
BIND9 is being imported and will be in the next and likely final beta,
BETA7. Users of the named daemon should visit the ISC website for
information about migrating to BIND9.

Fixes and Enhancements made since BETA5:

- Many USB device updates
- Fix a panic when unloading the if_tap module
- Fix a lock order reversal in the network ioctl code
- Fix a panic with PF
- Fix large UID and GID handling in libarchive
- The PFIL_HOOKS kernel option is now silently enabled by default.
- Various locking fixes to the network stack
- The net.inet.ip.check_interface sysctl is off by default now
- Fix a long-standing panic on i386 and amd64 SMP under extreme load
- Many fixes to gvinum
- The README.html files that are generated for each port are no longer
installed. They can be found on the disc2 live filesystem.
- Fix a rare panic on startup on i386 SMP
- Fix problem with multiple floppy drives all having the name
"/dev/fd0"

Known issues in this release

- There are known data corruption issues with gvinum. Fixes are being
tested now.
- There are several problems with the ATA driver that can result in
system hangs at boot and erroneous disk failures. Fixes for these
are being tested now and will be in the next BETA.
- Detaching a USB Hub device, including many keyboards and monitors,
will trigger a panic. The fix for this is being tested and will be
in the next BETA.
- The Synaptics Touchpad mouse support is known to have issues with
responsiveness. It can be disabled with 'hint.psm.0.flags="0x200"'
in "/boot/device.hints". This will be resolved for the release.
- There are reports of packet corruption with the nge(1) driver when
the network stack is run without Giant. A fix is being tested.

A complete list of defects that will be fixed for the release can be
found at http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.3R/todo.html.

Availability:

For people wishing to upgrade older systems using cvsup(1) and the
procedure described in src/UPDATING the CVS tag to use is RELENG_5
at this point. Note that like all RELENG_X branches this is an
active development branch. We do not recommend those branches for
normal use (for normal use RELENG_X_Y branches are more appropriate,
e.g. RELENG_4_10 is the current stable branch).
