> 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.
