      Thanks guys! I'm not leaving pfSense nor the forum. I'm just retiring from active package maintenance.

      I retired from my real job 11 years ago and I've been away from the cybersecurity industry long enough to be "out of date" with some of my knowledge 😀. Time to turn over the reins to the younger generation.

        I hope there will be a worthy successor 😉

            FWIW there were two commits last week and 7.0.8_3 is available.

            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.

              @btspce your redmine ticket was closed. It seems..."this is the way".

              Suricata binary 7.0.11 is now available. Thank you

                  @NRgia Saw that pfblockerng, suricata (7.0.11) and other packages had updates availible yesterday but when I went to do the updates a few hours later there was none to be found? Netgate seems to have pulled the updates for one reason or another.

                    @btspce I noticed those updates also, and they were pulled after some time. Maybe the code from Develop was pulled by mistake, and quickly removed.

                    For Suricata, if you reinstall the package, 7.0.11 binary will be installed, instead of 7.0.8.

                    Also I think we will need yet another ticket, for Suricata 7.0.12 as @bmeeks pointed out.

                      @NRgia 7.0.12 has not landed in freshports yet. I will give Netgate a few days after that before creating a ticket.

                          I did not look for packages at the time but for a short while on Tuesday 25.11 was available to all.
