Today (Friday) is the last day people can commit to the 2.0 branch.
    I would appreciate it if a couple of people could do basic testing of

    release builds for 2.0 today (cd /usr/src/nrelease; make installer release).
    I will be building and testing the final release ISOs Saturday morning

    and letting them propagate to our mirrors overnight.
    The release will be officially announced on Sunday!

I think we should hold off the release until packages are built and have

propagated to all mirrors.  This might take several days, though.

Packages are large and connectivity is low.

Only two of the package mirrors have even started to update, so it's going

to be a few days until the new build updates, and then more days until all

the files are copied out.
pkgbox has a full set of packages - a good chunk of them are built on

1.13, so there will be a warning at install, but that's it.  Building from

source (which I think is somewhat more common with pkgsrc) is already an

option in any case.  I don't think there's a need to wait.

Ok what am I doing wrong.. I just sync'ed with 2_0 and rebuilt, now

trying to test the release builds.

This message tells you that the required package could not be found in

/usr/release/packages, and not that it is not installed.
Do make installer fetch.

Thanks for reading my error messages for me. I totally misread it...
Its running now....
Dylan

And if you're booting a 2.0 system, please test pkg_radd, too.

Hmm, will you change http://pkgbox.dragonflybsd.org/All/ to point to the

2.0 packages?
I wonder, how can we make the All/ redirect handle users of previous

DragonFly releases needing older packages?

Oh, yeah.  Changed now.  If someone could test, that would be helpful, as
Well, we could change pkg_radd to build a path using the output of uname,

and then analyze the incoming request path on pkgbox, and then redirect

those requests to the appropriate folder based on that.  I'm not going to

get that working in the next 24 hours, though.

Perhaps the version should be part of the path:
