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!

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? Sascha -- http://yoyodyne.ath.cx
Perhaps the version should be part of the path: http://pkgbox.dragonflybsd.org/2.0/All/ -- Erik Wikström
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.
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. Sascha -- http://yoyodyne.ath.cx
Thanks for reading my error messages for me. I totally misread it... Its running now.... Dylan
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. cheers simon
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.
