Upgrade from 2.0.3 to 2.1 latest snapshot require removing packages?
-
The docs for upgrading from 1.x to 2.0.x claim you should uninstall all packages before doing an upgrade. Is this still required when going from 2.0.x to 2.1.x? I am currently using the snort and the openvpn client export packages.

Probably you would not need to uninstall them first but I would suggest it because the handling of packages on pfsense 2.1 is different than on pfsense 2.0.x.
But you don't have to worry - your config is compatible with both versions.

If I'm not mistaken, I believe such an upgrade (2.0.x to 2.1) forces an un-installation of all packages and then a re-installation based on the new package manager 2.1 (.pbi). I'm pretty sure I saw that run across the console during the upgrade (installing ….. package) even though the packages were already "installed" prior to the upgrade. Just my 2 cents.

You could be right. I am completly not sure how a new installation handles the packages :) -
I just upgraded one system (non HA) without removing the packages and it came up just fine and reinstalled the packages. I did see some errors in the logs related to snort and pbi but right after that it mentioned uninstalling and then re-installing snort and it came up just fine on it's own just like a good little firewall.
Seems to have worked perfectly. I am doing the same thing on a cluster now locally. Upgrading the secondary first and will test for awhile on the secondary before going back to the primary.
