You can now upgrade from a previous DragonFly BSD 4.4 build
Not a GNU/Linux
operating system, but DragonFly BSD is one of the most appreciated BSD
distributions out there, so today we're informing you about the release of DragonFly BSD 4.4.3.
DragonFly BSD 4.4.3 is the third point release in
the stable series of the operating system, and it looks like it brings
some very interesting changes, among which we can mention support for
Intel Skylake processors, the OpenSSL 1.0.1s library, kqueue support to
the NFS file system, as well as various diskless adjustments.
Furthermore, a typo has been fixed in the
disk_create() arguments for accessing >1 SD-/MMC-card, the unzip
utility has been added for extracting zip archives, master world can now
build the 4.4 Release, -release can now be built on master, and i219
driver support has been added.
Continuing, there are multiple HAMMER improvements,
such as a temporary workaround for a kernel panic when deleting a
volume, a new obfuscate option to hammer show, a restriction for
accessing the HAMMER userspace buffer beyond 16KB, and a fix for a bug
that occurred when attempting to erase the volume header.
How to upgrade to DragonFly BSD 4.4.3 right now
Among other changes implemented in today's DragonFly
BSD 4.4.3 release, we can mention that the zoneinfo database has been
synchronized with tzdata2016b from ftp://ftp.iana.org/tz/releases, and
the zdump command will no longer warn you about abbreviations like
"-05." Then, a "register" sneaked into the last commit has been removed
from zic, and the missing cpu_enable_intr() function has been added to
kernel's acpi_timer.
Existing users who have a previous version of the
DragonFly BSD 4.4 operating system installed on their computers can
upgrade to today's 4.4.3 point release right now. To do that, they'll
need to run the following commands in a terminal emulator. On the other
hand, those of you want to install DragonFly BSD 4.4.3 on new computers
can download the ISO images via our website.
cd /usr; make src-update
(or src-create-shallow if you don't already have source)
make buildworld && make buildkernel
make installkernel && make installworld
make upgrade reboot
