freebsd-update not working from 7.1-PRERELEASE
I installed 7.1-BETA-i386 from CD and used freebsd-update to get the latest prerelease updates. This got me to the following version: $ uname -a FreeBSD hostname 7.1-PRERELEASE-p1 FreeBSD 7.1-PRERELEASE-p1 #0: Sun Oct 5 12:15:12 UTC 2008 [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC i386 Now I wanted to go to BETA2, but freebsd-update does not work any more: # freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 7.1-PRERELEASE from update1.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. # freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.1-BET2 Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 7.1-PRERELEASE from update1.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. I thought it was possible to upgrade this way up to 7.1-RELEASE? Any idea?

I believe someone else recently reported something similar, and they changed their update server to something else, and it worked. -- | Jeremy Chadwickjdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977.

AW: freebsd-update not working from 7.1-PRERELEASE
[...] The best solution here is to make FreeBSD Update realize that you're running 7.1-BETA: # env UNAME_r=7.1-BETA freebsd-update [...] That worked. I'm not running 7.1-BETA2. Let me say that binary updating across different releases is such a HUGE time saver. Thank you for that feature!

I wonder why that's -PRERELEASE- instead of -BETA-. There might be a bug in the FreeBSD Update build code here... Fetching metadata signature for 7.1-PRERELEASE from update1.FreeBSD.org... failed. Right, FreeBSD Update thinks you're running 7.1-PRERELEASE (i.e., somewhere recent on the 7-STABLE branch, but we don't know exactly where) instead of 7.1-BETA (which is a very specific point on the branch -- specific enough that FreeBSD Update can figure out what your system should have installed and how to update it). The best solution here is to make FreeBSD Update realize that you're running 7.1-BETA: # env UNAME_r=7.1-BETA freebsd-update [...] Colin Percival ___ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
