Errata --------------------------------------------- * If you wish to update from 9.0 to RC3 you may do so by editing the "/usr/local/share/pcbsd/pc-updatemanager/conf/sysupdate.conf" file and changing the PATCHSET: variable to "pcbsdtest". After changing this variable, you may run the updater utility, to download a new update manager. Once this update manager is installed, the online update to the RC3 version will appear. Download --------------------------------------------- The DVD & USB images are available via the PC-BSD mirrors.

Perhaps it's best for PCBSD.org to check their servers / systems as well...

Many people have been contacting us asking how this relates to PC-BSD users. We currently locally compile and distribute all of our own packages, and at this time it looks like nothing on the PC-BSD side was impacted. However if you are a "power-user" and have been manually using "pkg_add" to install packages from the FreeBSD package cluster, you may wish to remove these packages and rebuild from source. For more details regarding the security compromise, please take a look at the official FreeBSD page below: http://www.freebsd.org/news/2012-compromise.html -- Kris Moore PC-BSD Software iXsystems -------------- next part -------------- An HTML attachment was scrubbed...
