A running description of activity related to DragonFly BSD.
Somewhat short this week, but there’s several releases.
This week’s BSD Now is 50% OpenBSD, 50% FreeBSD, plus a whole lot of Beastie Bits.
SLUUG, which has the best acronym, meets tonight at 6ish PM Central time on Zoom.
6.0.1 is tagged and available. The major reason for this update is an expired Let’s Encrypt certificate that would cause problems when downloading dpkg binaries. A list of 6.0.1 commits is available.
I recommend the usual rebuild process mentioned on the 6.0 release notes:
make buildworld
make buildkernel
make installkernel
make installworld
make upgradeDon’t forget to update your packages with ‘pkg upgrade’.
I managed to miss it last week, but last week’s BSD Now talks about NetFlix’s usage of FreeBSD to serve a ridiculous amount of data, among other things.
UNIX history for the mini-theme this week.
Your unrelated animation of the week: Cyriak Animator Pro.
It is status report season!
If you have encountered that problem with Let’s Encrypt and dports, the fix is committed and a make world is needed.
If libvirt running with nvmm on DragonFly interests you, watch this bug report.
This is a good week for variety.
Why yes I am trying to clear out my backlog of Solène links.
This week’s BSD Now is entirely an interview of Brian Callahan.
You may get some errors because of an expiring base Let’s Encrypt certificate when using pkg. It’s being worked on.
The not-official-but-still-used mirror-eu-1.dragonflybsd.org mirror is going away later next month. The main site probably has enough bandwidth to compensate.
Not huge news about mandoc, but I always like linking to updates with clear changelists.
SEMIBUG’s lightning talks event is tonight. No, wait, it’s tomorrow. It’s online with Jitsi so you can see it no matter what – possibly even on BSD?
Classic games as a mini-theme.
I forgot to link to BSD Now 421: ZFS eats CPU on Thursday!
