Try different mirror?

[marjohn56]

I did.. I'll try another one, tried opnsense and default.. cloudflare still no go.

Can I spec the repo in the command line?

[marjohn56]

Never mind. I've downloaded the image from the web, I'll do a clean install later.

Safety belts... safety belts everywhere...

Symlinks on the mirrors are missing to allow this upgrade. They will be there by the end of the day. The intended upgrade path will work once 17.7.12 hits. :)


Cheers,
Franco

Symlinks are in place now and tested ok...

Still claims no update option in the GUI

Although I can see it listed

Am I doing something stupid or is that intentional

[marjohn56]

Methinks you should download the image and install clean from the shell lad. :)

[franco]

No update from the GUI until 17.7 is EoL and 18.1 is out.

It's a bit funny. There was a release when we added the upgrade glue too early and a number of people found it stupid that the upgrade wasn't out but it said they could upgrade.

Now it's out but not able to upgrade yet...

Need to work on our timing to sync this, eh? :)


Cheers,
Franco

OK, well it's installed and up and running on my test, no issues apart from a dodgy USB stick.

Think it's time to give it a name though, "insert name here" is a bit sad. :)

[nivek1612]

LOL

I have a usb stick in my hand, if i go quiet it means it didn't go well :-)

[franco]

Good luck!  ;D

The name is a last minute surprise :)

Hi all

18.1.r1 is a release candidate?

If I press "Check for updates" on all of our production firewalls, this version is also listet as an update. Was this expected?

gruss ivo

[franco]

Yep, it's a listing of all published versions... we've always listed release candidates so you can browse the change log.

[nivek1612]

Eh Franco what did we do wrong in Europe not to get the vga image on the mirror :-)

Rest of the world got it  ;D
