pfBlockerNG-devel: 2.2.5_9 install error

[Qinn]

Hi I tried installing the latest development version and I got stock at this line

[5/115] Deinstalling pear-Crypt_CHAP-1.5.0...

What I did was remove the "keep settings" in pfBlockerNG, then de-installed pfBlockerNG 2.4.3_8 using package manager, rebooted and installed the latest development version, maybe I gave up to soon, but after I got stuck on the line above for about 20 minutes, I gave up, did a reboot using the console and tried to enter the webinterface of pfSense, it gave me:

PHP ERROR: Type: 64, File: /etc/inc/config.inc, Line: 51, Message: require_once(): Failed opening required 'Net/IPv6.php' (include_path='.:/etc/inc:/usr/local/www:/usr/local/captiveportal:/usr/local/pkg:/usr/local/www/classes:/usr/local/www/classes/Form:/usr/local/share/pear')

So I had to reinstalled pfSense, then restored my config. Tried it again and then got stuck on one line earlier, so at

Well the latest pfBlockerNG development version from the pfSense development branch is based on php 7, as is the latest development version of pfSense. Trying to install this on a current stable build, which ist still based on php 5, will obviously mess up your pfSense installation. So don't do it unless you want to look pretty stupid.

If you want to use pfBlockerNG-devel on a stable pfSense build use the version from the stable branch.

Thanks for pointing that one out to me. I missed it, because I read this one, https://www.reddit.com/r/PFSENSE/comments/8lnugz/pfblockerng_devel_version_released/ ,which suggests it was only downloadable from the unstable branch, as I did not expect a development release in the stable branch...
