PfBlockerNG v2.1.1_8 not showing in Package Manager

[Ramosel]

I put a more lengthy comment in the "Official Hardware" forum but just curious if anyone else has a system that is NOT showing pfBlockerNG v2.1.1_8 as available either in the Installed Packages widget or the Package Manager?

I'm seeing my current version as pfBlockerNG 2.1.1_7, with no update available.  Running pfSense 2.3.3-RELEASE-p1.

Thanks, I wonder why the available updates don't apply to all?

Well because noone merged that to RELENG_2_3_3 branch.

Thanks Dok… so do you know whose cage we rattle to make this happen?

There was not a note on the PR stating it should be merged back and no separate PR for the other branch. We can certainly cherry-pick it back, but there was no indication that was supposed to happen.

Sorry about that. I've never added a comment like that in any of my PRs. Will add that going forward. Can this be cherry-picked back to 2.3.3? However, it is strange that it installed for me on a 2.3.3 VM test box.

Ahhh… the power of the forum!  Thanks Jim.  It just showed up!!

Jim P corrected the problem (see this thread) on my end.  Do you now see the available update?

Thanks,

pfBlockerNG 2.1.1_7 is now showing as out of date.  I updated, and now I have pfBlockerNG 2.1.1_8

Thanks to BBcan177 for pfBlockerNG, and thanks to JimP for sorting things out with this update.
