HEADS UP: 2.1-RC0 Branched, you MUST fix your update URL.

phil.davis

On my systems, the Default Auto Update URLs dropdown does not show 2.1-RC. It only shows the usual "stable updates" and "2.1 Development" options. I thought that the dropdown list is built at run-time from an online source, so should do its thing automatically. Am I missing something or?

Seeing the same thing on my embedded install; works fine on a full install, though.

There were a couple instances of the manifest file on servers that I didn't get to update earlier, they should be OK now.

The drop-down menus should be showing an RC choice for everyone now, no matter which mirror gets hit.

Will there be wireless 802.11N support on RC 2.1 ?

jimp

That wouldn't have changed from the betas. There are a few cards that support 802.11n mode, but none that do full 802.11n rates.

That should come in 2.2. Either way it's off-topic for this thread.

In the dashboard the latest build still shows up as "2.1-BETA1 (amd64)" and not as I would have expected as something like "2.1-RC0 (amd64)"
So given that it was already called BETA1 before I changed the updater URL, I wonder if it actually got the proper build…

jimp

It does not. Either your system is not really updating, or you have some other problem (such as gitsync-after-update with an old/invalid git repo URL)

Current snapshots show:

2.1-RC0 (amd64)
built on Wed May 29 04:53:18 EDT 2013
FreeBSD pfsense-amd64.localdomain 8.3-RELEASE-p8 FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p8 #1: Wed May 29 05:26:02 EDT 2013 root@snapshots-8_3-amd64.builders.pfsense.org:/usr/obj.pfSense/usr/pfSensesrc/src/sys/pfSense_SMP.8 amd64

rcfa

Well, I have these:

http://snapshots.pfsense.org/FreeBSD_RELENG_8_3/amd64/pfSense_RELENG_2_1/.updaters

and for gitsync:
git://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense.git
with branch:
RELENG_2_1

and the dashboard reports this:

2.1-BETA1 (amd64)
built on Wed May 29 04:53:18 EDT 2013
FreeBSD 8.3-RELEASE-p8

You are on the latest version.

Anything wrong with what I got there?

jimp

That is the wrong URL. It should be /pfsense/ not /bsdperimeter/, it moved a couple months back. You should not be using gitsync-after-update anymore anyhow.

Ah, OK, that would help….
...must have missed that change. Maybe something that would be useful in the sticky section.

Do I have to also follow the steps in the section: "Git URL Moved" described here: http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Updating_pfSense_code_between_snapshots
or does that only apply when the actual site changes, i.e. pre-github to github change?

jimp

Yes, you need to follow the steps on the page.

Thanks, I was wondering why I was't seeing new builds.
