      @behemyth It will be ready when it's ready. :)

      I've wondered the same thing...

        I'm not asking if its ready, I'm just asking if since we haven't had a release in awhile, if that is why.

                @mcury Not sure if you saw this. it's not a big deal, but it's worth mentioning:

                  @DefenderLLC I saw that but I didn't test 24.03 snapshots yet.
                  I watched the Netgate videos in Youtube, I think it was from Christian, showing this feature which is pretty neat indeed.

                    @mcury That thread I mentioned is not about the feature itself, but rather that the verification keeps coming back after subsequent reboots within the defined threshold. It shouldn't do that after it's already been verified.

                      Indeed, did you open a redmine for that ?

                          That should be fixed if you upgrade from something earlier to the current beta snapshot.

                            @stephenw10 If that was meant for me, it did reoccur on today's build from early this morning.

                              Hmm, that was after upgrading from yesterdays build? Was it already showing the verification issue before the upgrade?

                                @stephenw10 Yes and yes. It's actually been just like this for at least the last 4 or 5 builds or even possibly whenever this feature was recently added. I upgrade each time one is presented - because I'm one of those people. :).

                                I upgraded from yesterday's build, verified it after the post-install reboot, did my testing, deleted the old boot environment, cleared the logs (they go to a syslog server for long-term use), and then reboot another time manually. Upon that next login (even after my 300 second threshold has passed), the verification prompt returns counting down from "0" although it doesn't actually perform any actions. It's not a big deal, but it might confuse a novice.

                                  Did something break on the packages? I can't see the March 21st update anymore, and all its telling me is it cant find a meta file.

                                    The branch was marked as beta but I wouldn't expect that to be an issue.

                                    What build are you trying to upgrade from?

                                    Try running pkg-static -d update see what errors are shown.

                                      Ran that command and it didn’t fix it.

                                      I’m updating from yesterdays image.

                                        I wouldn't expect that to fix it. It will show additional error output that might show what's failing though.
