Freebsd-update still do not offer the upgrade.

The message:

No update needed to update system to 8.1-RELEASE-p2

That's because it hasn't been officially announced yet.
Once most/all mirrors have it, they'll do a press release and announce it.

Offical FreeBSD website points the 8.2-RC3 ISO at the same location: ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/ISO-IMAGES/8.2/

Today 2011/2/21(HKT), releng_8 is still wearing 8.2-PRERELEASE tag and you receive some new patches to /usr.sbin/newsyslogs, sys/dev/pci and sys/dev/re drivers after csup.

RELENG_8 is 8-STABLE, for 8.2-RELEASE branch you need CVS tag RELENG_8_2.

You should be able to use a pipe to decompress and send the file to growisofs.

Done with freebsd-update.

Right. Since the new versions have officially been released and announced, this thread is really no longer necessary. Please open any new issues in the regular sub-forums. Thanks.
