While it does work on i386, it fails on amd64:

In contrast to the other releases, betas, and candidates, there is no
amd64 directory listed for 8.2-RC3, only i386:

http://update4.freebsd.org/8.2-RC3/

(It has been this way for a few days now, but since there was no
announcement, I thought it was still being worked on.)

Hello,

For what it's worth, I am still seeing the same thing on an AMD64
8.2-RC2 system:

$ sudo freebsd-update -v debug upgrade -r 8.2-RC3
Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 4 mirrors found.

No mirrors remaining, giving up.

That is not the same thing. It is looking for "8.2-PRERELEASE": Your system is not on a binary release (a RELEASE, a BETA, or a RC) and cannot (regularly) be updated by freebsd-update.

I have done freebsd-updates 8.1-RELEASE -> 8.2-BETA1 -> 8.2-RC1 -> 8.2-RC2 on amd64 successfully (as well as 8.2-RC1 -> 8.2-RC2 on i386). The bits are all there.

For 8.2-RC3 and 7.4-RC3 the amd64 signatures are missing while the i386 ones are there: http://update4.freebsd.org/8.2-RC3/ Both amd64 and i386 are there for 8.2-RC2 (and every other RELEASE, BETA, and RC): http://update4.freebsd.org/8.2-RC2/

Interestingly, while the signature is missing, the binary patches are there for amd64 (and i386): http://update4.freebsd.org/to-8.2-RC3/

Cheers,
Jan Henrik
