pfSense Plus Software Version 23.01 BETA Now Available
-
Apologies if this is already covered, I did search before asking. But I recently switched over to the BETA branch on my 6100. The initial upgrade went without issue. However I saw that today my system is telling me there is a newer snapshot available:
However I have tried twice now to upgrade to this latest snapshot only to find that after reboot I am seemingly back on the original version.Watching the upgrade log as I attempt to upgrade, everything seems to go smooth, no errors I can see.
-
@cybrnook Went fine here.
If you can, do a reboot then try to upgrade. -
@cybrnook I might try all from the console, if possible. Check for update from the console, run the update, etc., log your output... check to see if there are errors there.

@rcoleman-netgate Thanks for the advice to try from the console. I am seeing a few things that look strange, but perhaps are red herrings? The "Installed packages to be UPGRADED" section at the bottom seems to direct everything correctly to *.1325?

@cybrnook I don't have an answer for you but I would suggest you make a post in https://forum.netgate.com/category/90/plus-23-01-development-snapshots

I know that thread is more about Beta however, I wanted to ask - will RC candidate appear today :) ?
-
Do we have a target release date yet? I know it has to be close. Thanks.
-
@defenderllc As soon as it's done. We haven't reached the RC stage yet.

@rcoleman-netgate 10-4. Tom @ LTS has videos saying it's in RC, so that explains my confusion. Thanks.
-
@defenderllc Not quite... but close :)

No. If you check the release dates you'll see we do not change the number because it is no longer the month in question. You will also see that tnsr uses the same style and pfSense and tnsr will never have the same release numbers.
We are still actively testing the RCs and working towards the point of a public RC. Sometimes there are show-stopper issues that have to be resolved.
-
@rcoleman-netgate Public RC means still not the final release?
Netgate 6100 MAX

We want to put out an RC for "final" testing before the release, but unlike some past releases, we want RC to literally be a release candidate and not a "late beta". So if the RC tests OK, we can just change the name to -RELEASE and make no other changes. The RC window here will be much shorter than past releases as well.

@mrsunfire
No.
Please "wikipedia" the two definitions, you'll get the picture ;)A Real Candidate (version) is just a possible candidate for the Final Release (version).
Feedback from this forum, redmine, etc determine if RC becomes final. -

and not a "late beta".
To that end -- and not I'm not an engineer but one that gets to see into their circle and somewhat understand it -- there are stoppers that need to be addressed before we make it available to you. Sometimes they are quick fixes, sometimes they are not. But they hold up the public release, the change is made, the builds are regenerated, the one (or two) addressed issues are tested, and we move forward.
-
@rcoleman-netgate Today I see that 23.01-RC with build 23.01.r.20230202.0019 is available. So this is the "release" version?
Netgate 6100 MAX

I see RC in the name ;-)
-
The main question remains the same
Will there finally be pfSense+ install images available for download for non-Netgate hardware ? -
