Hello,

I'm pleased to announce OpenDarwin 6.6.2, available immediately for both ppc and x86 architectures. OpenDarwin 6.6.2 is based on the Darwin 6.6 (which corresponds to Mac OS X 10.2.6) source release and licensed under the APSL. It includes additions and modifications from the OpenDarwin CVS Repository.

Notable changes from the OpenDarwin 6.6.1 release:

• ncutil, a network configuration tool for Darwin, has been added. Many thanks to Jeffrey T. Frey for this.
• yum, the Yellow dog Updater, Modified, has been added. yum provides the tools to resolve and install RPM dependencies.
• RPM packages have been renamed from "foo" to "org.opendarwin.foo" to eliminate namespace collisions with third party RPMs such as those from DarwinPorts.

Complete release notes are available in Release Notes.txt.

Architecture specific installation information is available at:

• ppc - INSTALL.ppc.txt
• x86 - INSTALL.x86.txt

The MD5 checksums for the install images are:

MD5 (opendarwin-6.6.2.ppc.cdr.gz) = b31716c0a2b3e634146f698ed0a80456
MD5 (opendarwin-6.6.2.x86.iso.gz) = 7e3241898f1541febf48d64eacbc244b
