      Is there a roadmap for what you plan to get into 2.1 (other than IPv6, I mean)?

      I can break anything.

        It's not set in stone, but here is a good idea:

          @jimp:

          Once 2.0 is released the snapshots will start building from mainline again and IPv6 will not require any special settings of syncing at that point.

          Just so I'm clear, should we still be using http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_8_1/i386/pfSense_RELENG_2_0/.updaters/ for our update URL and just untick the auto gitsync section now that 2.0 release is out?

            There will be changes coming in that regard. The 2.1 builds will switch to FreeBSD 9 shortly so there may be some instability there and once we pass that point it will become more and more difficult to overlay the code as we currently do. It may be impossible (and damaging) to keep syncing once we cross that line. The pf rule syntax will change from 8 to 9 so once that commit drops you would not want to gitsync the 2.1 code on top of a 2.0 binary set.

            At the moment I would stick with 2.0-RELEASE and gitsync the code manually if you really need an update. I'm sure we'll announce more when the time comes for more changes.

              Thanks Jim, I'll do as you suggest… I was just looking for the best way to keep my IPv6 code as fresh as possible.

              Sorry to be so dense, but will just upgrading to 2.0-RELEASE keep my IPv6 settings?

              Currently I'm on:
              2.1-DEVELOPMENT (i386)
              built on Mon Sep 5 04:07:51 EDT 2011

              Which now tells me I'm "on the latest version" from auto updater.

              Or will I need to gitsync once to get IPv6 support back after an upgrade to 2.0-RELEASE?

                You'll likely want to keep your gitsync settings in place for the moment, and run a normal firmware update. Thinking about how the checks are done the official update for automatic upgrades checks the version number not the date so since you are on "2.1-DEVELOPMENT" it considers that newer than 2.0-RELEASE.

                It will definitely need to gitsync after applying the 2.0 update.

                I'll likely be making a set of update files soon that will make it a little easier. I haven't made a new set of images since 2.0-RELEASE happened.

                  OK, well maybe I'll just sit tight on the snap I'm on and do manual getsyncs for the time being if need be.

                  No rush at all, but could you give a heads up when you have the new update files ready and I'll just go that route? Or do you think it would behoove me to move off of the 2.1-DEVELOPMENT Snaps if all I'm looking for is the IPv6 portion of the code?

                  I'm happy to help test, but I'm not sure I want to take the early stages ride of 2.1 on this particular machine.

                  Thanks for all your time, Jim.

                    I'll probably forget to post about it, but you can always just keep an eye on http://files.pfsense.org/jimp/ipv6/

                      Hi Jimp,

                      What's the difference between the -DEVELOPMENT and Full-Update-2.1-DEVELOPMENT files?

                      Thanks

                        The same as with any other snapshots or files… the iso is the livecd, nanobsd are for embedded, full updates are update files for full installs, etc.

                          When I do a manual gitsync using the console developer shell from git://github.com/pfsense/pfsense.git and do a reboot, after the reboot my IPv6 connectivity is no longer working. When I go back into the console developer shell and gitsync from git://github.com/smos/pfsense-ipv6.git again followed by a reboot, IPv6 works again.

                          In both situations I'm left with the following crash notice on the pfSense dashboard:

                          pfSense has detected a crash report or programming bug. Click here for more information.

                          minfree only report received. Skipping. This was fixed in a recent snapshot.

                          Any clues?

                              johnpoz, did you also do a reboot after the gitsync? That's where things go wrong here. Everything seems to be working: tunnel is up and active, but each ping results in no route to destination found. When I just do a gitsync and not reboot, it remains working.

                                Normally I do not reboot after a gitsync, but to make you happy I just did after reading your response

                                Now I have seen those weird crash errors now and then after a gitsync, and can not make the thing go away on the web gui -- everything seems to be working.  After a reboot those errors are gone, but this just happens every now and then.  For example this last gitsync it did not happen.

                                  Thanks for taking the time to try it johnpoz. All seems to work fine indeed, even with the crash message being displayed. I only regret not being able to update anymore since that breaks my IPv6. But I guess since all functionality I need is currently in pfSense, I'll stick with the current version. Maybe it's because my installation has been done over a year ago and has been dragged through many SMOS ipv6 updates already that some rock has fallen now. Maybe I'll try a reinstall with a recent image someday to see if that solves it. Thanks again for your help.

                                      Just did a clean install with the 2.1 ISO released today and all works fine again after restoring my config file! Even IPv6 works. Thx guys :)

                                        Hi guys,

                                        So what's the trick to getting "git" and such installed once you have updated to the latest 2.1 AMD64 development version?

                                        The system tries to install "git" but it looks like it's trying to get the files from the "packages-8.1-release" branch of the ftp site which seems to have been removed. Any suggestions for what I should install?

                                        -Will

                                            I'll probably forget to post about it, but you can always just keep an eye on http://files.pfsense.org/jimp/ipv6/

                                            I was just ready to start and planned to download but they are not there any more?
                                            (is this because of the 2.0.1 release and do i have to be patient)
