pfSense 2.8.1 no packages updates - reason?
-
Hello Netgate Team,
I have pfSense 2.8.1 in use. Is there a certain reason why installed packages do not receive an update? I noticed that on the GitHub pages there are newer package versions, e.g.
Backup latest 0.6.3 but 0.6.4 available
Lightsquid latest 3.0.7_5 but 3.0.9 available
pfBlockerNG-devel latest 3.2.10 but 3.2.12_4 available
squid latest 0.5.3 but 0.5.8 available
WireGuard latest 0.2.9_5 but 0.2.11 available -
@ramup The 'available' package versions you note have not yet been merged into the Netgate-hosted CE (private) package repository.

Those newer versions are from main/2.9.0 which isn't public yet.

Thanks for the statement. So this means pfSense 2.8.1 will not receive package updates for a year or two in repect of the release cycle? -
Not necessarily. It's just why you are seeing newer code and it's not in 2.8.1 yet. Things get tested in head first.
