(SOLVED) pfSense+ Plus upgrade from 23.01 to 23.05

stephenw10

If you set it back to 23.01 does it still show an error?

Does pkg-static -d update also error out?

Oh interesting...with Update set to 23.01 "pkg-static -d update" shows the following.

Does anyone know the target date for this to move into production? It currently shows as a RC on my 2100 MAX my wife will lose it if I use development mode again. So, I am stuck using only stable versions per her request. However, I am still excited to test it out. Does Squid and Squidguard work with it?

@jonathanlee said in pfSense+ Plus upgrade from 23.01 to 23.05:

Does anyone know the target date for this to move into production?

When it is ready.

Right now we're testing RCs and hope to release soon -- but soon is just that ... soon.
The release will be completed when... it's completed.

JonathanLee

@rcoleman-netgate aaaaaa, so you don't know. Thank you. I take it you have no access to something like a gant chart. Last hear say information I found on the forum said it was slotted for May 5th or 15th. But that was hear say form another post.

rcoleman-netgate

@jonathanlee Seriously - it will be ready when it is ready and not a moment sooner (or later).

We do not have specific ship dates -- which I think is good as it means you do not rush things to get the product done "on time".

Last hear say information I found on the forum said it was slotted for May 5th or 15th

We have a 5/9 date for the RC but not the final build. Any hearsay you read here is speculation and assumption. We do not set release dates.

@bcdouglas I was finally able to get beyond 23.01. I started from the 2.7 Dev current build. Made a backup of my config.xml. Reinstalled the Feb 15th build but did not install any packages.

Opened a ticket to get my certificate bumped so that I could get a new build. However, I was stuck in the same position as you. I could not update anything, nor could I install any packages from the GUI even though I wasn’t planning to anyway.

To get moving ahead, I was able to install the System_Patches package from the CLI. Then I was able to apply all recommended patches from the Systems_Patches GUI. I rebooted and then was able to see and update to 23.05. Once up on 23.05 I restored my original 2.7 config.xml, rebooted again. My old packages were all reinstalled without a hitch.

I have a Cyberpower UPS and I did need to replace the usbhid module with the one I was using for 2.7. (Search the NUT package discussion in the forum if you need this)
