The 9 branch has been created ?

pin http://blog.netbsd.org/tnf/entry/netbsd_9_0_release_process

Just in case anyone on amd64 is interested, there are 9.0_BETA binary packages available here, http://www.ki.nu/pkgsrc/packages/current/NetBSD-9.0_BETA/All/ Heads-up, rust failled to build and quite a lot of packages are broken. See the full build report here, http://www.ki.nu/pkgsrc/reports/current/NetBSD-9.0_BETA/20190901.0729/meta/report.html Or, go through the package list to make sure what you need is there. There isn't for me 🙁

New build, http://www.ki.nu/pkgsrc/reports/current/NetBSD-9.0_BETA/20190903.0101/meta/report.html Rust is through, so now is worth a try 🙂

Yet another build, http://www.ki.nu/pkgsrc/reports/current/NetBSD-9.0_BETA/20190909.1442/meta/report.html Looks like a reliable package source, though pulling packages from Japan doesn't feel ideal for someone in Europe. Does anyone know of a "closer by" source??

Until someone starts doing officially-blessed bulk builds for 9, that'll be the best option if you don't want to build packages from source.

nia Thx! Just a clarification though, its not that I don't want to build from source, I've nothing against doing it for a few packages. But, unfortunately I don't have enough disk space to build everything I need from source.

pin I may upload pkgsrc-current packages for 9.0_STABLE/amd64 on my home ftp server any time soon, we'll see 🙂. Anyway, I've got a pkg_comp sandbox on a separate 100GB partition, works fine, and might be a good solution for you too, providing it's your /usr space only that you want to spare XD

JuvenalUrbino Wow! That would be awesome 😃 But don't worry, I've learned to wait. As for disk space, yes, I'd like to spare /usr but, that's not enough. My SSD is only 30Gb. I've tried to use an usb-3 but, its painfully slow 😃

Hmm... Guess, I wasn't patient enough afterall 🤣 It took more than half-an-hour to pull the packages from Japan, but I'm now running 9.0_BETA 🎉 Also, back on Midori.... and, yes Midori-9.0 release has solved the problem with high cpu loads 😃 I'll also post an update on the Midori thread.

Minor issues... After updating from 8.1_STABLE to 9.0_BETA, I'm seeing the following lines at boot: /etc/rc: WARNING: $dhclient is not set properly - see rc.conf(5). and /etc/rc: WARNING: $isdnd is not set properly - see rc.conf(5). Never had these previously on 8.0_STABLE, 8.1 and 8.1_STABLE. Haven't changed my /etc/rc.config and everything is working fine, just wonder if anyone else on 9.0_BETA is seeing these?

NetBSD-9.0 - Setting the path

Binary packages for 9.0_RC1 are now available from Japan
Do read the build report so you don't "accidentally" break your system 😉

I've really enjoyed 8.0 and 8.1... 😿
...but, its time to move on! 🤣
