FreeBSD 11.2 for Emulab servers
Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the water with a shiny new 11.1 release for servers (#391 (closed)), it is already time to move to 11.2.
Due to a complex interaction of events, we won't be able to stick with 10.3 much longer. The drivers are:
- 10.3 is already EOLed
- Trying to install any Perl-related package on our 10.3 servers will attempt to drag in Perl 5.26 which will break the library path for all existing packages
- Attempts to upgrade the 10.3 Emulab server packages with 5.26 and the latest packages is fraught with peril
- 11.1 is EOLed in September
I have taken a stab at 11.2 packages once already, but 11.2 upgraded to clang 6 and there are some of our packages that do not build (don't recall which one, but I bet it was iperf!).
