I was looking to download an ISO for 10.2-STABLE for a new build I'm doing, however I can't see to locate any such ISO. It isn't where it seems it should be, according to the info on this page: https://www.freebsd.org/snapshots/ Where can I get such an ISO?

So the latest ISOs for the equivalent of 10-STABLE are under releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/10.3 of your favorite FTP mirror. E.g.: http://ftp4.us.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/10.3/ Once the release is final and announced I'm sure that -STABLE snapshots will resume from the 10.3-STABLE branch. JN

When stable/10 was branched in preparation for 10.3-RELEASE (creating the releng/10.3 branch), newvers.sh on the stable/10 branch was edited to change REVISION from 10.2 to 10.3 and BRANCH from STABLE to PRERELEASE. Commits to the stable/10 branch after this point are eligible to be merged to releng/10.3 if approved by re at . Once 10.3 is officially released, then newvers.sh will be modified again to change BRANCH from PRERELEASE back to STABLE, and the snapshots will then be named 10.3-STABLE. I suspect that the oldest of the 10.2-STABLE snapshots has been expired. I don't know why there haven't been any 10.3-PRERELASE snapshot .iso files created since January ...
If you look at the ftp.freebsd.org than you can see that the 10.3-RELEASE can be downloaded. The strange thing is that there is no announcement yet. Also the newvers.sh still has PRERELEASE in stead of STABLE. Can anyone explain why this hasn?t happened yet??? Thanks!
