Where to download old versions
-
@jimp Not sure why you wouldn't keep an older version for roll back. I had tons of issues and now I can't roll back. I love pfSense and you guys are pretty awesome. This kind of thing makes me want to go to OPNSense though because I can't stay on a broken release, I have to do something, can't leave the network in the state it is in

@devmaybe said in Where to download old versions:
What I was suggesting is not to keep the full history of the project on-line. The packages are not fundamental. In an emergency during an upgrade the simple fact to be able to download and have ready an old installer image that can read and use my previous backed up configuration would be a great help to restore basic connectivity in a minimum lapse of time.
Thank you again
I cannot fully agree on this. You can't get packages back when you are using an old installer image. This is the whole point. It just doesn't make sense. It would be much better to be able to use one or two previous versions including the required packages. In some scenario's the packages are fundamental.
That 2.4.4 works fine for you doesn't mean it works for the rest of the world. I am sure the dev team would like to receive input and fix it... but in the meanwhile it's not acceptable to wait until such is fixed whilst it worked fine before with an older image.

My guess is that this has to do with the change to PHP 7.2 and in the way the packages are organized (changing over to PHP 7.2 means changes in the code base of pfSense and the packages.

No I am having issues probably more so related to freeBSD but the 10GB chelsio t520-so are not functioning correctly, they are not even seen as 10GB anymore, traffic shaping is broken because it's saying there's no altq driver but chelsio according to freeBSD is supported. Additionally, it brought down both firewalls in the LAN as auto negotiation for link speed and duplex broke, but only on the LAN interface. This interface is a router on a stick set up, so that may be a bug because the WAN stayed up and it's on the same pci card as the LAN. There is no option to force 10GB for the backbone as well so it's degraded. Not exactly sure what happened in this update but these are problems we didn't have until 2.4.4

You could have tested the development versions, or the release candidate, and reported those issue at a time where the devs could have fixed it. But if you just sit back without involving yourself, especially if you run hardware/configurations not officially supported by the devs, you simply have no right to demand anything. And don't forget, you didn't even have to pay for that update either.

Well if you use a raid setup, then use a decent filesystem like zfs and do snapshots. That's even easier.Btw. I too work as a volunteer, and at a hospice that's only funded by donations. When I started to manage their network I simply donated the needed hardware from my own funds. And I'm far from being wealthy, but if I do work (paid or not) I do it right, as I am a professional.
Edit: Also I didn't address you personally in my initial post, but it seems I caught you there and hit a nerve. Think about it.

Locking the topic. It has outlived its usefulness and the question has been answered.
