    @steveits dude get out of my head. I was thinking about that when replying to the thread but i decided against it.
    But yeah, notification of a reboot required message would solve issues..especially here in the forums.

      and don't read

      Well yeah that is always problematic - why would they read the email sent? ;) Just sayin hehehe

      Even just a breeze over of all those entries should be pretty easy to spot that many of them that say reboot required.. Not saying users won't miss it.. hehe.. But its not like 1 in 20, but 4 out of the top 5 in my list state "requires reboot"

      I could see if there was 1 out 20 of them, and it was number 17 in the list or something ;)

      And then Jim in Bold bigger font states in this post "Reboot is Likely Necessary"

        Nope. 😈 I'm all for idi*t-proofing where possible. Though I wouldn't call it that in public. :) As someone once told me, paraphrased, "I want to be all powerful, but a prompt of 'are you sure, knuckehead?' would be appreciated."

        And yeah, I didn't install the package update yet and couldn't really read the scrolling image well but the text does say to reboot. So, d'oh!

        Pre-2.7.2/23.09: Only install packages for your version, or risk breaking it. Select your branch in System/Update/Update Settings.
        When upgrading, allow 10-15 minutes to restart, or more depending on packages and device speed.

          Today is a holiday here, so I decided to perform a clean 23.01 install.
          Restored my config, then applied all these patches, everything working smoothly for a few hours now.
          System: SG-3100 - pfblockerng, wireguard, softflowd (version from older repository).

          dead on arrival, nowhere to be found.

            Curious, if there are new patches for 23.05 in the future, will the list get automatically populated or do we need to initiate something?

              The patch list is updated by updating the package. So with 23.01 (3 weeks ago) the package updated and the list was blank.

              edit: I read this as, "after 23.05 is released"

                23.05 wouldn't use the system patches package that way since it's getting daily snapshot builds. Any fixes that go in would be in the builds the next day.

                  I'm confused. I'm running pfSense 2.6.0 CE and I see these dozen or so patches as being available to apply, yet when I open the Redmine associated with each patch, it states that the target is for 2.7.0/plus target 23.01.

                  Are these patches really safe to apply to 2.6.0 CE? No where do I see anything in the redmine that states it is for 2.6.0???

                    See the package update today on the 2.6.0 CE and have the same question, save to apply because the System_Patches package is available on 2.6.0 CE?

                      @slu They are patches till the can be backed in the new version, so this is normal.

                        @bob-dig but this affect 23.x only or 2.6.0 CE as well?
                        With other words, can I break the system with patches or is there some version check in the background?

                          @slu Good question. Is there anything related to FreeBSD 14 or PHP 8.1 in it? Then wait.

                          23.01:

                          1. and 6. I remember are 23.1 only for example, so if you have them too, then this is not for you.

                            The patches for 2.6.0 are not new. They have been there for weeks, since 23.01 released. The ones you see on 2.6.0 are safe to apply on 2.6.0. On 2.6.0 the only change you'll see from this new version of the package is the apply/revert all buttons.

                            The recommended patch list is version filtered. You only see the patches relevant to whatever you are running.

                                  @jimp speaking of patches, how long until they are approved to be added in as recommend? For example the YouTube issue with none.

                                    There isn't any set schedule, mostly depends on the amount of time devs have who are also familiar with the package and so on. But that's completely unrelated to this thread, "patches" in the sense of this package are not always tied to PRs or commits.

                                      There is another update coming here shortly, which addresses two things:

                                      • The alias sorting did have an issue if the aliases were not sorted in the configuration (which normally happens on save or other change to aliases). Most people wouldn't see a problem here, but some could. So there is a patch that applies on top of the previous patch to use a better sort method that has the ideal sort order but also preserves index keys.
                                      • When doing 'revert all' it was iterating the patch list from the top down which fails if a later patch requires an earlier patch to be applied first. The two patches would apply OK but when reverting all patches it would only revert the later patch, not the earlier one. So reverting from the last to the first ensures this order is properly respected.

                                      Users on 23.01 will see a new patch to apply. Users on older versions will not see any new patches but the revert all order will be fixed.

                                        @jimp Nice one.

                                        Considering the list of of patches for 23.01 this fra, is there any chance a 23.01.1 will be released with everything included?

                                        For all those boxes not at 23.01 yet?

                                        Love the no fuss of using the official appliances :-)

                                          We are still considering our options there, but the next release is due in May and it's already almost April at this point. Having to turn out a point release would leave us very little time to work on items we want to complete for 23.05. But we're keeping an eye on things and if we do decide that, we'll announce it in various places.
