We have entered the final phases of the FreeBSD-7.0 Release cycle which
also means the beginning of the FreeBSD-6.3 Release cycle.  Because the
people who support the ports for FreeBSD also need to go through a
freeze cycle as part of releases we had decided to combine the two
releases to try and minimize the impact on the ports maintainers.

The current plan is to interleave the BETAs/RCs of the 7.0 and 6.3
releases, trying to follow this for the dates when the builds will get
started (with them becoming available on the FTP mirrors a day or two
after the builds start):

            7.0     6.3
    BETA1   10/17   10/24
    BETA2   10/31   11/7
    RC1     11/14   11/21
    RC2     11/28   12/5
    REL     12/12   12/19

Tomorrow (10/23) the RELENG_6 branch will be marked "6.3-PRERELEASE" to
note that we have entered the 6.3 release cycle.

The schedule dates are, as usual, tentative.  At this point RELENG_6 is
pretty mature so that schedule should be fairly accurate.  Being a new
branch it is at least somewhat likely the dates for 7.0 will wind up
slipping.

The 7.0-BETA1 builds have completed and are on many of the FreeBSD
mirror sites.  If you want to update an existing machine using cvsup use
RELENG_7 as the branch tag.  Instructions on using FreeBSD Update to
perform a binary upgrade from FreeBSD 6.x to 7.0-BETA1 will be provided
via the freebsd-stable list when available.

For quick dl :

7.0-BETA1-i386-disc1.iso

Recent blogwalking to dragonflybsd related blog lead me to Hammer filesystem.

Another filesystem, thats my thought in first impression till I see more description about it . Dragonflybsd 2.0 will include this filesystem.

I still waiting for FreeBSD releng 7 for it’s ZFS. I’m quite happy for snapshot version ( September version ). Can’t wait for 7.0

Perhaps upgrading ftp server to 7.0 after released

so far performance of gstripe still awesome for me.

Will prepare more room for hammer and zfs testing.

Recent VirtualBox (version 1.5) work well with FreeBSD 6.2

• Windows XP SP2 as host
• Smooth installation
• 2 GB HD
• 2 Ethernet card ( dhcp work well and internal too)

Great release, will try this Vbox version for PCBSD 1.4RC

some useful options :

• make config
• make showconfig
• make rmconfig

make rmconfig will remove old options saved.

If not work try to clean first

Also useful switch in portupgrade :

• portupgrade -aFrR (will download all required file without install)
• -i, need your decision.

Recent mail server upgrade to new system (FreeBSD 6.2 stable) satisfy me

hmmm….

spamassasin rules grow to 379 rules from 41 rules.

very good.

I miss spam now

Fiuh, finally migrating email task is clear.

Almost 3500++ email account from vmailmgr based system moved to postfix with mysql backend and dovecot support.

thanks to Bendiken script that convert things magically

Generally the steps are :

1. Rsync email to new server

2. Change to dovecot style with migration script, make it in looping.

Just combined with little script like this :

migrating.sh

#!/bin/sh

ls /email/domain.com/users | while read u1;

do /home/rasyid/tools/courier2dovecot.sh "/email/domain.com/users/$u1/" ;

done

write in one line and chmod +x to make it executeable.

3. Change ownership of email folder to postfix and symlink it to real place.

Done

I’ve try roundcube mail and working fine for me. But since more user complain about some feature that not working well (perhaps browser issue) I change webmail back to squirrelmail

back to epsbed report.

A lot of pdf mail arrive in mailbox and maia can’t detect that. After googling I found in howtoforge about Filtering PDF-/XLS-/Image-Spam With ClamAV (And ISPConfig) On Debian/Ubuntu.

I wanna try it for FreeBSD, after red last section I try to update the scripts.

Changing two lines as suggested based on clamav installation on FreeBSD 6.2

clam_sigs="/var/db/clamav/"

clam_user="vscan"

run the script :

jedimaster# sh ss-msrbl.sh

SaneSecurity SCAM Database Update

my bad, Installing curl first

jedimaster# cd /usr/ports/ftp/curl && make install
