2.0.3 Image Testing
-
Regular firmware update like any other. If your auto update url is pointed to the 'stable' updates, you'll get it when it's released.
-
I've updated! The only issue for me was a long delay at boottime because my packages didn't reinstall. Or did they? Directly after the update i accidently loaded my old slice and all my packages got reinstalled into that one. Then, next reboot, i booted into the "new" slice and the firewall took ages to load and all packages were missing. I manually the packages and all is good now. It seems strange though that the package update was triggered when I was booting the old slice (I have updated running from slice number two, maybe thats related).
just to clarify, here are my messy upgrade steps:
i was running slice 2 when i started the update.
on reboot i chose to boot slice 2 ouch* and it reinstalled all packages
reboot into slice1: no packages -
FWIW, I upgraded to the latest image (13 Feb 1243), but I'm still having the problem that I initially reported here:
http://forum.pfsense.org/index.php/topic,57258.0.html
That thread eventually got hijacked to be a different issue (but also related to DHCP), but the original problem still remains. This is a regression since pfsense 2.0.1.
-
That thread didn't get hijacked, it was the main issue. The interface going down/up wasn't properly relaunching dhclient, and that should be fixed now. Several others with that same issue confirmed it was fixed for them. If there is a separate issue, then you can keep posting in that thread to continue investigating, or start a new one. The symptoms will be (at least slightly) different now, and it warrants further diagnosis.

php: /system_advanced_sysctl.php: The command '/sbin/sysctl hw.syscons.kbd_reboot="0"' returned exit code '1', the output was 'sysctl: unknown oid 'hw.syscons.kbd_reboot''
smallish glitch in current 2.0.3 pre. That variable is gone I guess?
-
That tunable is only valid on a full install w/vga, or nano+vga
It wouldn't be present on an embedded kernel or regular nanobsd.
-
Proxy Squid: Realtime stat (sqstat) doesn't auto refresh.
-
Packages are not relevant to 2.0.x image testing. That would be a subject for the packages board.
-
Planning to upgrade from 2.0.1 to try and improve MTU control on PPP.
Is it worth going to 2.0.2 or straight to 2.0.3? I guess second question is how close is 2.0.3 to being finalized - days/weeks/months?
Thanks

2.0.3 is better than 2.0.2 at the moment.
It would be out already, but we're waiting on FreeBSD to release a security announcement on OpenSSL that we need to account for. -

What happened to the 2.0.3 download folders? Nothing there anymore.
-
Snapshot pruning probably caught them, I hadn't made a new one in a week. I'll run another off, check back late tonight.
-
I'm currently running this (below) version, would it be useful to grab the new snapshot you are creating tonight?
2.0.3-PRERELEASE (amd64) built on Wed Feb 13 12:44:38 EST 2013 FreeBSD 8.1-RELEASE-p13 -
There are some minor, but beneficial fixes. May as well get it. We're still in a holding pattern waiting on FreeBSD to release the OpenSSL SA, but we've found a couple little things here and there.
-
Any estimated time given by FreeBSD on the OpenSSL SA release?
-
None that I've seen. Last I saw was this on Feb 7 saying that the patches are in review… http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-security/2013-February/006945.html

How about adding manpages to nanobsd 4G images? I am a freebsd newb and I am kinda missing those when I am screwing around. I mean…
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/ufs/pfsense0 1.8G 178M 1.5G 11% /…free space is nice to have but this is a waste IMO. :)
-
Not a good topic for this thread, but it's something that someone could make a package for eventually

You can get FreeBSD man pages online at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi
