      From a shell, issue this command (full installations only!):

      fetch -q -o - http://www.pfsense.com/~sullrich/tools/cvs_sync.sh | sh

      Sit back and let it do it's thing.

      After it is done, issue shutdown -r now or reboot from the webConfigurator or option #5.

          You can cancel your upgrade for now. We found some remaining issues with the new dhclient (some things still have to be changed due to different syntax). It's working on reboot though. We'll test some more things later and post when we have a new version to try.

              Everything should be working.  We really need ppl to test Optional WAN + DHCP more than anything at this point.  We are using the same code for dhclient as m0n0 1.3b1 now so I think it is correct.

                    the new dhclient is working great !

                    like this:
                    –-----------------------
                    WAN interface (rl0) 
                    Status up 
                    DHCP down   
                    MAC address 00:0a:cd:11:ef:fa 
                    Media 100baseTX <full-duplex> 
                    In/out packets 88231/110810 (21.17 MB/32.31 MB) 
                    In/out errors 0/0 
                    Collisions 0

                      i just noticed a very good thing, it looks like with the new dhclient, the OpenVPN problem with "address in use" issue is fixed ! at least on my pfsense !

                        Yeah, we are aware of this issue.  Should be fixed rather soon.  Just keep running that command every 12 hours or so and you will have the latest code.  But don't run the command unattended (from cron).

                          Just tried to fetch the newest cvs several times but always got stuck with:

                          fetch -q -o - http://www.pfsense.com/~sullrich/tools/cvs_sync.sh | sh

                          Setting CVS_IP to cvs.pfsense.com
                          Syncing with pfSense.com
                          Checking out RELENG_1
                          Connected to cvs.pfsense.com
                          Updating collection pfSenseHEAD/cvs
                          Rsync CVSROOT/history
                          Edit pfSense/etc/inc/service-utils.inc,v
                          Create pfSense/usr/local/bin/php,v

                          Any advice?

                            Your being impatient.  Let it go… It is still processing php which is every php change ever and is quite large.

                                Please run the command again.  All known issues hopefully are solved.

                                  NOTE: you WILL need to reboot afterwards.

                                  Please run again, I just fixed a few more bugs.
