Hi,

is it possible to downgrade to a previous release within the 15.7.x series?
For example, if I upgrade to 15.7.20 and notice a breaking bug, is it possible
to downgrade to 15.7.19 or even 15.7.18? How?


Thanks

According to fitch it should work like this:


# opnsense-update -sn "15.7.18\/OpenSSL"
# opnsense-update -pf


Untested!
This will trigger a reinstall of all packages.

Another possibility would be to take the release image, import the config via the option in the installer and reinstall via quick/easy. Your fully configured system will come back up, except if you're using plugins (xen, vmware).

15.7.18 is available as an image, as well as 15.7.11. 15.7.11 will update to 15.7.17 in the first full firmware cycle, that may also be a viable target.
