      @jiri-zemanek OK, by using git blame ./sys/sys/param.h in the devel-main branch and traversing backwards I found

      46297859a745 (John Baldwin        2024-12-06 17:25:04 -0500  76) #define __FreeBSD_version 1500029
      

      which is the same version that reports sysctl kern.osreldate. So I'll use that.

        OK, so I installed 2.8.0 CE via the netgate installer ISO and now I am trying to install ACME plugin:

        WARNING: Current pkg repository has a new PHP major
                 version. pfSense should be upgraded before
                 installing any new package.
        

        When looking at the System --> Update, it says:

        Current Base System  2.8.0
        Latest Base System   2.7.0
        Status               Running a newer version.
        

        So not sure HOW...

        It seems this release is so hot that it's still glowing...

          It looks like your update branch is somehow set to 2.7.0. Did you restore a config with that set?

          Do you see the 2.8.0 branch available to set?

          Are you using any custom repos?

                @jiri-zemanek Out of curiosity I installed using netgate installer ISO the 2.7.2 version and it does not even show available packages because the /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/pfSense.conf -> /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense_Installer-repo-0002.conf link is broken (there is no /usr/local/etc/pfSense/pkg/repos/pfSense_Installer-repo-0002.conf file). It seems the testing department is on holiday for a long time :-D

                  Seems more like you have no upstream access to pull the repo branches on either version for some reason.

                  In 2.8 try running: pfSense-repoc -ND see what errors it returns.

                    @stephenw10 No error, just printed some system info (OS, platform, etc.). The last line some POST data.

                      Hmm, yet you still see no branches? If you run pfSense-repoc -NDJ it ll show you the branch JSON data you are passed.

                      What hardware are you running on? What was the driver you needed to build?

                        Ah, are you trying to run in Azure by any chance? Because that is not supported if so.

                          I don't see the CE 2.8.0 version at all, even after a reboot. Under System/Update only "Previous Stable Version (2.7.2)" or older versions show. What am I missing?

                            You are trying to upgrade to 2.8?

                            Do you see any errors if you run: pfSense-repoc -D?

                                Oh you're on 2.7.0. You'll need to upgrade to 2.7.2 first. In general upgrades are only supported from two previous versions.

                                  I don't understand. If I go to System/Update there is nothing newer to update to. The version showing in pic is the latest version in the drop down.
                                  pfSense_System_Update_System Update.jpg

                                  How to update?

                                    @pfFog29 You might try https://docs.netgate.com/pfsense/en/latest/troubleshooting/upgrades.html#upgrade-not-offered-library-errors

                                    Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
                                    When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to reboot, or more depending on packages, and device or disk speed.

                                      It will be the missing cert issue. Run: certctl rehash then recheck.

                                        I ran this and and it came back permission denied.

                                        Here is a pic of Certificates.

                                        I'm no expert, but aren't these good? What do I need to do?
