Just a quick note to say the target schedule for 8.3-RELEASE has been
set and is available here:
http://www.freebsd.org/releases/8.3R/schedule.html
The summary of the target dates is:
Code Freeze: Feb 15, 2012
BETA1 builds: Feb 17, 2012
RC1 builds: Mar 2, 2012
RC2 builds: Mar 16, 2012
REL builds: Mar 23, 2012
The Security Officer has pushed back the estimated End of Life for
8.2-RELEASE to July 31, 2012. That will give three months between the
release of 8.3-RELEASE and the EoL for 8.2-RELEASE. It is expected that
8.3-RELEASE will be an Extended Support release. See:
http://www.freebsd.org/security/#sup
for the full details of the currently supported releases.
Thanks.

make buildworld fails with 8.2-RELEASE amd64 building STABLE
"make buildworld" fails when trying to "make buildworld" (no options) with 8.2-RELEASE with 8.2-STABLE sources as of 2/6/2012 updated at 9:15 AM from ftp.freebsd.org. The compile fails in the same spot every time; this is not a random failure. I have seen some evidence, however, that there may be hardware problems. The other hardware problem was a Broadcom GigE watchdog timeout and reset. Hardware is a Tyan S2885 (dual dual-core Opteron) which has been running Windows XP SP3 for some time without problems, for what that's worth. A Google search turns up nothing obviously related.
