Solved full 11 release date

There were some last minute issues just before the original release date, apparently it's taking longer to fix and/or test.
 
The RELEASE is already out. I’m running on a machine 11.0-RELEASE-p1. I installed from a
FreeBSD-11.0-RELEASE-amd64-bootonly.iso, which were pulled back from the servers
because of fixes, from September 29 and did a freebsd-update today. The update should
be available from FreeBSD-11.0-RC3 as well, at this time for the amd64 and i386 platforms only.
The official RELEASE images might be released any time soon.
 
cool does FreeBSD-update download your installed ports and recompile and reinstall them? or is it just pre-compiled binaries?
thanks

Code:
# freebsd-update -r 11.0-RELEASE upgrade

Fetching 1 metadata files... gunzip: (stdin): unexpected end of file.
Any idea of this?
 
Usually a bad connection, try removing the downloaded files and try again: rm -rf /var/db/freebsd-update/*.

If you continue to have problems please open a new thread.
 
Not officially. The announcement usually comes a few days after it's ready. This is to allow all mirrors to catch up before announcing the availability. There was also a brief period where a 11.0-RELEASE was available but that one was revoked due to the last minute issues that were discovered.

Long story short, it's best to wait for the official announcement before jumping in.
 
No you didn't. 11-RELEASE isn't out yet.
Yes, 11-RELEASE "isn't out yet", but it works fine for me :)

I am running 11.0-RELEASE on my laptop. I can install any *nix OS there and be ready in around ~30 minutes. But I would never risk that on a server.
 
Subscribe to the FreeBSD Announcements mailing list. When a new release or security/bug-fix updates are available, you'll know.

You can ask questions about the direction and status of the project here if you want, but the only useful information you'll ever get is what other people have read on the mailing lists. If you care about that information, subscribe. If you don't, then why ask? ;)
