And given that we've already slipped from December 15th, I think you
can treat this as a pretty hard deadline, to be further slipped only
grudgingly and in response to clear and dire need.
10 days, folks! Make 'em count.. :)
The code freeze will last for 15 days, during which time the 4.0
snapshot server (current.freebsd.org) will be cranking out its daily
snapshots (and, in the last half of the release cycle, ISO images as
well). There will be an additional 10 days following 4.0-RELEASE
before the final CD images are made, it being our goal to get the bugs
worked out of the net release before the CDs are made in the future.
This will result in some additional lag to CD customers, but they'll
also get a product with the sharp edges filed off in return for the
delay and I think it's worth-while since CDs are a lot harder to
update than FTP sites. :-)
If someone would care to volunteer an Alpha which has good network
connectivity and enough "oomph" to create a full release every night,
I'd also be happy to drag the Alpha architecture into this process of
doing some actual release QA by porting my snapshot building scripts
over and starting them up.
