Reverting to an earlier version of unbound over branches

[miroco]

Is it safe to assume that OPNsense 19.1 will be using Unbound ver. 1.8.3? If so, and I need to revert to an earlier version, like ver. 1.8.1 (I'm using DNS-over-TLS), can I when 19.1 goes live use Unbound from the 18.7 branch to do so?

opnsense-revert -r 18.7.8 unbound


Thanx

Hi,

Revert is not build for cross major installation, mostly because when we cross the major version the packages may not work any longer due to ABI changes...

That being said from 18.7 to 19.1 older Unbound packages should still work.

You can use:

# pkg add -f https://pkg.opnsense.org/FreeBSD:11:amd64/18.7/MINT/18.7.5/OpenSSL/All/unbound-1.7.3.txz

But you will have to adjust for LibreSSL or i386 accordingly in the URL.

That "MINT" location will be removed in the next few weeks so better to save that package locally now.


Cheers,
Franco

PS: The other way would be to cleanly build Unbound < 1.8 form the respective ports.git commit where it still existed.
