Is a new package version available for new pfSense version?
-
Hi,
v2.6.0CE has just been released and I am using a couple of packages on my 2.5.2 version.
Is there a way to figure out if my packages (arping 1.2.2_2, Avahi 2.2, bind 9.16_11, LADVD 1.2.2_2, openvpn-client-export 1.6_2) will still run with 2.6.0?
How can I figure out if they will work?
Thanks!

@knebb If you have System/Update set to Latest Stable Version the package list is pulling from that (newer) version's packages. System/Package Manager/Installed Packages should show a red warning if the package isn't available, and/or you can search the list of available packages.
Just be sure not to install any packages for the newer pfSense version, that can cause problems.

Sorry, I did not get it....
So if I am still running 2.5.2 it will nevertheless get the list of packages for 2.6.0?
And in 2.5.2 list of installedd packages- if there is no red sign the package is available for 2.6.0?Thanks again!

Thanks again!
Yes, if I configure System -> Updates to stay at 2.5.2 (DEPRECATED) I do not see any available updates for my apps.But when I change to 2.6.0 I see updates for some of the apps. Still not for all, but this should be not an issue as they will run anyways- because there is no red sign then.
Ok, I think I got it!
Thanks a lot!
