How to test the development version

[AdSchellevis]

Thanks for mentioning the typo, will fix that right away.
Your assumption is correct, you best disable checksum offloading as well.

Is there by chance a memstick img available yet for testing out 16 release or is the best way to install the old release and update? I am looking at installing this for home use and would love to try out the version 16 since it is so close to release.

Also if I do have to install the old version and update to the devel branch will this transition well when the new version is released or will I need to tweak it to stop from updating to bleeding edge features?

Appreciate the help and look forwarding to trying out your product.

I'll regenerate the 16.1 kernel tomorrow, hopefully have images up as well by nightfall.

Images for amd64 are up, i386 will follow shortly:

https://pkg.opnsense.org/snapshots/20160120/

Snapshot images are provided as is and should be able to upgrade right into 16.1 when it is out, but that's not the focus of these images. The focus is to verify the new FreeBSD 10.2 works in the integrated image setting before we flip the switch on January 28.

Any feedback here, positive or negative is greatly appreciated.

I'll have a go at it too, just to see how a Hyper-V VM installation works out.

i386 snapshots are up as well :)

[franco]

Ah, yes, of course :)

Hi jamerson,

Cheers,

Thank yuo,

[Kuragari]

Hi, any command line to switch from 16.1 to 16.7 ?

Best regards

[franco]

With a bit of important disclaiming:

Requirements:

o OPNsense stable release 16.1.16 or later
o Config backups or VM snapshots
o Receive updates from the OpenSSL branch only by switching the flavour

Grab the new release signature fingerprint:

# opnsense-patch 317410c

Change the repository location:

# opnsense-update -sn "16.7\/latest"

Update from the GUI, console option (12) or by running:

# opnsense-update && /usr/local/etc/rc.reboot

Note the only OpenSSL is available at the moment. Switching your firmware flavour is advised as noted by Bill in the other thread just now.


Have fun,
Franco

"Please reboot.
/usr/local/etc/reboot: Command not found."

Guess you meant:
opnsense-update && /usr/local/etc/rc.reboot

Doing so I got:
root@gateway08:/usr/local/etc # ./rc.reboot
Performing sanity check on squid configuration.
FATAL: getpwnam failed to find userid for effective user 'squid'
Squid Cache (Version 3.5.20): Terminated abnormally.

But it continued shutting down and it seems Ok for now.

Yes, good catch. The error message is due to changing from 10.2 -> 10.3, users and groups are rebuilt on bootup.
