NetBSD 2.0-RC1 Third Party Builds Available

Some NetBSD 2.0-RC1 builds for those how wants to try this RC1 for the i386 and sparc64. These are unofficial builds without extra patches, made by a NetBSD enthusiast/developer. UPDATE: Jan Schaumann of NetBSD writes:The NetBSD Releng Team has announced that the first Release Candidate for
NetBSD 2.0 (ie NetBSD-2.0_RC1) has been tagged. This is a major milestone
in the much anticipated release of NetBSD 2.0:
from now on, any pullups must address some form of show-stopping issue to
even be considered. The NetBSD Project encourages all users to test the
binary snapshots that will soon be available on the release engineering ftp server.

If no pullups are necessary, then the 2.0 release should
occur around the middle of October. Any fixes resulting in pullups will
cause a second RC cycle to begin and add approximately 1-2 weeks more to
the timeline.

The NetBSD Packages team
announced that a new
pkgsrc-2004Q3 branch was created, and the freeze on committing to the pkgsrc
trunk is now over. This branch, which includes a total of 4959
actively-maintained and supported packages, deprecates the last stable pkgsrc
branch (pkgsrc-2004Q2); all maintenance will take place on this new
pkgsrc-2004Q3 branch. Please see our online documentation of the
NetBSD Packages Collection
for details.
