1.10.0 release RC1 test ISO is up

[Matthew Dillon]

    I've put a release candidate ISO up on crater:

    fetch ftp://ftp.dragonflybsd.org/iso-images/dfly-1.10.0_RC1.iso.gz

    MD5 (dfly-1.10.0_RC1.iso.gz) = 7707169cf77047cfefe3993ac9e88d74
    MD5 (dfly-1.10.0_RC1.iso) = 8e1e9647c131fc7c786cd205f06d0bff

    Note that booting from a USB hard drive with EHCI still doesn't work,
    and won't for this release.

    The only issue I saw with the installer is that it wanted to install
    bootblocks on the CD device by default in addition to installing them
    on the hard drive :-)

    Unless something big comes up by the weekend this will become the
    official release.

Matt,

Thanks for releasing this for testing.  While the new installer does use the
correct path, it's now generating another error (code # 2) when installing
packages.  The log says:

,-<<< Executing '/usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_create -b bmake-20051105nb3
/mnt/tmp/bmake-2005105nb3.tgz'
| pkg_create: required package comment string is missing (-c comment)
`->>> Exit status: 2

Line 147 of installer/src/lib/libinstaller/package.c (from the
bsdinstaller cvs
tree) seems to be the one that needs correcting.  However, the others in that
file should probably receive an inspection as well.

It's also still telling me that passwords can't possess special
characters.  The
filter is on line 107 of installer/src/backend/installer/fn_configure.c.  I
posted a patch for this a few weeks back, but my home machines are in somewhat
of a transition at the moment.  If it's needed, I can repost.

Thanks again and Good luck,

Adrian

    I didn't see any issues when I did a fresh install from the ISO.  I'd
    rather not mess around with the packages any more, I really shouldn't
    have updated the last set, it took way way too long to get things working.

    Is your install failing completely or is just a warning and bmake is
    still there ?

WTF

I think this is completely bogus and should be nuked.

FWIW I observed a similar issue when selecting "install additional
software packages"
and leaving all packages selected:

/usr/pkg/sbin/pkg_create -b pkg_create -b pkgdb.byfile.db
/mnt/tmp/pkgdb.byfile.db.tgz
| pkg_create: required package comment string is missing (-c comment)
`->>> Exit status:

I tried again after disabling pkgdb and leaving the other packages
enabled: everything went fine.

Cheers,
Nicolas

It might be to compensate that not all files where originally registered
in packages (e.g. bmake), but that was changed quite a while ago and the
only exceptions now are mk.conf and other configuration files.

The install worked fine, it's the configuration part that generated the
error.  I was able to download the pkgsrc tree manually (well, I really
scp'ed it over from my old box).  When I went to install the first app
(screen), it died on an error about not having the correct digest.  It told
me what to do to correct things `cd /usr/pkgsrc/pkgtools/digest && bmake
install clean`.  Since then, things have been pretty simple.

Also, you can still issue `passwd` at the prompt to change your password
after the fact.  That seems to accept the special characters without issue.

Thanks,

Adrian

    I am going to roll one more ISO, and I'd like to fix this problem,
    but I have no clue what is going on at the moment or how to fix it.
