Is upgrading to 10.2 after devel builds still useful or have you exhausted 10.2 testing? I noticed today going to 10.2 that it now read .obsolete. in this case should I be sticking with 10.1?

The .obsolete file contains entries that ought to be deleted after upgrading. This cleans up no longer needed files from the previous installation. Not to be confused with obsoleting of a particular version.

10.2 testing continues, I'll try to push the recent FreeBSD security and release engineering updates into the test version soon.

So far, we only have a couple of problems related to Hyper-V, as reported by weust.

Seems 10.2 is -RELEASE now, so stable, and I will build a VM using FreeBSD 10.2 and see whether that does work.
I would assume so (though assumption is the mother of all fuckups) as the release notes don't mention any weird stuff that might trigger OPNsense not the boot.
And by that I mean the FreeBSD part before OPNsense kicks in.

Won't be till the weekend, but testing should be quick.

should I manually go through the directories to delete them or is this an automated task of the installer?

Hello,

Can someone give the version of the Intel igbt driver (gigabit Intel NIC driver for multiple chipsets including I210AT) used in the FreeBSD 10.2 version of Opnsense?  Seems there is an unresolved hanging issue with 10.1 in which a watchdog timeout occurs (seems related to TSO) and it occurs (from Google searching) across platforms using FreeBSD 10.1 (pfsense, opnsense, FREENAS, etc).

The 10.1 driver seems to be 2.4.0 whereas Intel's latest (July of 2015) is 2.4.3.

I would be tempted to try the Opnsense 10.2 version if the driver is newer in hopes to solve the watchdog timeout issue on Intel NIC's.

Nevermind:  Seems that this is still open and also occurs in version 10.2:  https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=1319.0 .  Seems the commit to fix this on the older Intel cards was just submitted (em) but not sure if the new stuff (igbt) will be fixed or not.  Also not sure which version of FreeBSD it will appear in.

Sorry for the thread clutter... :(

I'm starting to think we'll probably skip 10.2 altogether. There is not much done in the networking area and 10.1 works really well. All the (network driver) goodness will be in FreeBSD 11 and I expect 10.3 will be lacking equally.
