DragonFly 6.0 release!

[Justin Sherrill]

DragonFly 6.0 is released - here's the release page:
https://www.dragonflybsd.org/release60/

The normal ISO and IMG files are available for download and install,
plus an uncompressed ISO image for those installing remotely.

If you have an existing 5.x system and are running a generic kernel,
the normal upgrade process will work.  Change your local /usr/src to
6.0:

>* cd /usr/src
*>* git fetch origin
*>* git branch DragonFly_RELEASE_6_0 origin/DragonFly_RELEASE_6_0
*>* git checkout DragonFly_RELEASE_6_0
*>* git pull
*

If you get an error on the git branch creation, you may have pulled
down a shallow copy of src ('make src-create-shallow' in /usr instead
of 'make src-create')  If so, delete /usr/src and repull it using
'make src-create' in /usr.

Once you have checked out the 6.0 source, rebuild: (in /usr/src )

>* make buildworld
*>* make buildkernel
*>* make installkernel
*>* make installworld
*>* make upgrade
*
(Note that this release contains build-all and install-all targets
that can replace the multiple build and install steps; I'm
recommending the historic process out of habit.)

After your next reboot, you can optionally update your rescue system:

(reboot)
cd /usr/src
make initrd

Don't forget to upgrade your existing packages.  There's new packages
built for 6.0:

>* pkg update
*>* pkg upgrade*
