NetBSD 8.0_RC2 binaries available
This doesn't seem to have had a formal announcement yet, but while poking around I noticed they are here (dated June 25).

The amd64 image size has more than doubled since RC1:
NetBSD-8.0_RC1-amd64-install.img.gz 19-Apr-2018 18:59 444329kB to NetBSD-8.0_RC2-amd64-install.img.gz 25-Jun-2018 15:02 1001865kB I'm gonna avoid the B***t word for now but nothing jumped out at me in the changelog to account for all the code.

The debug/xdebug sets are large and account from most of the increase:

It's curious that RC2 announcement never made it to the home page, although RC1 did.
Now, checking the server it looks like 8.0 RELEASE is there (unless of course I'm mis-reading things). |

After downloading the amd64 NetBSD 8.0 iso, it would not fit on my re-writable cdrom using cdrecord.
Track 01: 702 of 716 MB written (fifo 100%) [buf 100%] 4.1x.cdrecord: Input/output error...

The 8.0 rollout seems to be somewhat disorganized. NetBSD's policy is to support the last 2 releases yet 2018Q2 builds started with and continued with 6.x up until July 17.
http://mail-index.netbsd.org/pkgsrc-...msg016209.html. Not only were resources wasted, but the entire pkgsrc code base is likely littered with patches and other mitigations for 6.x builds. |

It looks like the new NetBSD/amd64 8.0 ISOs are only about 220 MB now. I would imagine that if one of their images didn't fit on a standard CD then it's a bug.

Can I ask, where are you seeing that ISO? I still see 733236kB for NetBSD-8.0-amd64.iso. While I haven't downloaded it I think it probably contains the debug.tgz set, which is 331 MB, and xdebug.tgz at 68 MB. That brings it down to roughly 316 MB without debugs. 220 seems very small?

I was looking at the boot-only (net install) ISOs: https://cdn.netbsd.org/pub/NetBSD/Ne...llation/cdrom/

It still might be worthwhile to ask if the intent is for the full ISO to be larger than a CD-ROM.

NetBSD 8.0 formal release is out
