            Question for those brave people that updated (no going back) :)
            Premium rules or basic rules?

            Hoping people have tested both…

                      The updates are working fine now when I manually click update button, the version info states it is still package v 1.27 when it is actually 1.30.

                      Also, there is still that issue with rules getting enabled after updates. This is starting to become a pain. I know that this was discussed before and not sure if there is a fix.

                      I have a lot of rules that need to be disabled in certain categories I have to run, but everytime I get updates, it will enable the rules I disabled. Also it appears that the systems I am running are not getting updates automatically on the set time frame. I have a premium VRT license and currently running 8 PFsense boxes that all have the same issue.

                      Thanks for any help.

                        Those are separate issues from this thread, really. You might start a new thread for each of those issues separately, unless one already exists. I think there may already be some threads out there for the rules getting disabled.

                        Hopefully the normal package maintainer returns soon and can work on this a bit. I stepped in to fix the updates mentioned in this thread at the request of a commercial support customer, I'd have to spend quite a bit more time looking at the package to even speculate on fixes for the other issues.

                              I will try this soon, thanks JimP! The man who "wrote the book" wrote the snort fix :-) And probably quite a bit of pfSense itself, though I don't know the full extent of his contributions :-)

                                thanks jimp, fix that you provided makes my daily update jobs very easy, because I have been fetch/extract/install every single day by hand which is, annoying.

                                now that my concern is how you can conpromise longer i/f names that looks like 2.0 specific issue which won't snort from starting at the booting, or any other attempt. i tricked some diy for i/f naming but none of those were permanent fix, system will assign a new name, everytime reload the box.

                                any thoughts and ideas appreciated.

                                cheers,

                                  That's a matter for a separate thread.

                                  Since the updates now work for everyone (so far) this particular issue is closed. If it breaks again, it'll be a new issue, and other problems should be in new threads.

                                  Locking the topic. :-)
