SVN branch for 10.0-RELEASE created

http://svnweb.freebsd.org/base/releng/10.0/. The final release version of 10.0 could be very near.

If you're now following stable/10 (or earlier version) and want to switch to releng/10.0 I'd recommend moving the old /usr/src out of the way and checking out a full new copy of releng/10.0.

mv /usr/src /usr/src.old
svnlite co [url=https://svn0.eu.freebsd.org/base/releng/10.0]https://svn0.eu.freebsd.org/base/releng/10.0[/url] /usr/src

Use svn(1) instead of svnlite(1) if you're on FreeBSD 9 or earlier. Replace the EU mirror address with one of the US mirrors if you're in the Americas.

I know there's the svn(lite) switch command but switching the branch using it causes some annoying problems with mergemaster(8) because svn(lite) switch will not change the revision tags in files that have not changed between the two branches and that leaves many /etc files with wrong revision tags.

Lastly a friendly little reminder about releng/* vs. release/* SVN branches. Never use the release/* branches, they are only snapshots frozen in time that will not receive security or other updates. Use the releng/* branches.
 
I just upgraded. Works great!

Well, I'm using STABLE. Release branch creation seems to correspond to all debugging turned off.

EDIT: Here's a gotcha for anyone who uses MODULES_OVERRIDE:
ums(4) is no longer in the GENERIC kernel config. If you're reconfiguring from GENERIC for FreeBSD 10, be sure to add
Code: 
device ums

Another random note:
Code: 
options ATA_CAM
is no longer supported. I'm sure all of this is mentioned in /usr/src/UPDATING.
 
Release candidates and the final release will be cut from the same SVN branch releng/10.0.

Does it explain that there are around 36,500 patches to apply when using freebsd-update to upgrade from 10.0-BETA4 to -RC1? I seem to remember that previous updates were quite small, especially compared to this one. It looks as the whole system is being updated!

I'm just curious about the internals, there aren’t so much revisions in the SVN tree between those two versions.
