Todd Verling van het NetBSD team maakt de beschikbaarheid van NetBSD 1.6 beta bekend. Daarbij zitten documenten van het release proces, waar je de files kan krijgen en het release schema.
[quote]We are pleased to announce that NetBSD 1.6 has branched and the release
engineering process has begun.
With 1.6, we have introduced a new method of producing release snapshots
that will substantially improve testing of the release binaries on multiple
platforms. For the initial phase of the release process, we are producing
binaries for most platforms on a daily basis from a common codebase, using
the integrated cross-compilation system.
In order to help test the release on as diverse a collection of hardware as
possible, we encourage everyone capable of testing the release to download
snapshots frequently and report problems via “send-pr” or e-mail to
“current-users@netbsd.org”. Also, problems building the release branch
sources should be reported with relevant build environment information.
