23.09.rc Displaying 'later version than official' flag

[stephenw10]

The fix is in. Baring something unforeseen expect the RC later today.

I guess we must be in the area of "something unforeseen"

In other news, the blinky light stopped (not last night, but the night before) so yesterday's yesterday. Maybe tomorrow's yesterday will be the RC day. We can only guess.

Is what it is.

Yup there was an issue with OpenSSL. That's now fixed and we are testing internally. Should be public 'shortly'.

@stephenw10

Thanks again for checking and the update. Can't resist poking some fun at you here.

previously you said it was OpenSSL and would be "Very Shortly"
now it is still OpenSSL and "Shortly"

so for future reference I'll now understand "Very Shortly" is longer than "Shortly"

also sounds like someone didn't read the warning
https://forum.netgate.com/topic/182213/heads-up-openssl-3-0-x-deprecates-a-lot-of-old-weak-algorithms-and-may-require-manual-changes

I'll go play with a domain controller that went belly up -- that sounds like fun coffee filled morning, and then check again shortly. Cheers

Ha, yup. It's the patch for the recent CVE that failed to apply as expected. But we have a good build and are testing it now. So far no issues. I really think it will be 'shortly'

@stephenw10

okay --- just FYI at this point it still shows also (23.05.1 RC) as a "Next Stable Version" Even though 23.09 RC is also listed.

Be back "shortly" - click

@RobbieTT

It's alive but still shows 23.05.1 RC

is the difference maybe that you previously updated to "r" that was temporarily available as I recall ? (@stephenw10)

I never did that.

[stephenw10]

Shouldn't make any difference. Let me check...

[stephenw10]

@jrey You are running amd64 there?

[jrey]

@stephenw10
on a Netgate 2100

[stephenw10]

Ok, that only affected ARM and is corrected now but may not update unless you force it. It's only the field description, it doesn't affect the actual branch used.

First hour of use milestone achieved:

@RobbieTT

Same

No show stoppers at this point.
All the packages I use are so far running as expected. Of course none have changed either, and that is also as expected.

it compiled, it loads, ship it !

@stephenw10

After a while (could have been a sooner than the hour or so, I checked again after lunch) it must have reached out and or processed itself into the correct version list..

it now shows "Next Stable Version 23.09 RC" and "Current Stable Version (23.05.1)"

It just took a while.
No issue it is just in the smoke and mirrors.

I took that to mean go for lunch

Thanks
