<para>When the release has been thoroughly tested and packaged for
distribution, the master FTP site must be updated. The official
FreeBSD public FTP sites are all mirrors of a master server that
is open only to other FTP sites. This site is known as
<hostid>ftp-master</hostid>. When the release is ready, the
following files must be modified on <hostid>ftp-master</hostid>

<para>It may take many hours after updating
<hostid>ftp-master</hostid> before a majority of the Tier-1 FTP
sites have the new software. It is imperative that the release
engineers coordinate with &a.hubs; before announcing the general
availability of new software on the FTP sites.</para>
