Quagga_OSPF: not available in remote repository
-
Hi everyone, I was just looking over updates and packages on my pfsense firewalls and noticed the following error message near the previously installed Quagga_OSPF package.
Anyone know what is going on? Did this get deprecated maybe and replaced with something else?
Regards,

Yes, it was deprecated and replaced with FRR if I recall correctly. Here is the Redmine link.

@bmeeks Thank you. Looks like I am running 2.4.5 on my boxes still. What would you say the upgrade path looks like? Would I just have to manually document my OSPF configuration and remove the module.. Then upgrade to 2.5.0 and install FRR?
Or is there some migration path that will move settings over from Quagga for me?
I have some other packages that are out of date too, is it generally a better idea to upgrade packages before a system update or the other way around?

Adam TylerSorry Adam, but I don't use either package (Quagga nor FRR), so I wouldn't be of much help. Perhaps someone else will chime in with migration options.
As for updating other packages, ALWAYS update pfSense itself first if an update is available. If you update or install a package after a new pfSense update is posted, and you haven't installed that pfSense update, then installing a package will break your system -- sometimes to the point of needing to reinstall and restore a config backup.
If you want to install a package on an older pfSense version, then you must go to SYSTEM > UPDATE and on the Update Settings tab change the drop-down selector there to the option "Previous stable version (2.4.5 deprecated)", save that change, then install the package. Changing that setting points your package system utility to the correct branch of packages. Note that these older packages will not be updated, though. They will be whatever was the "current" version at the time the new pfSense was released.
There is a dedicated FRR sub-forum on the board here: https://forum.netgate.com/category/79/frr. Perhaps posting your questions in there would generate some helpful replies.
