stable

Hi, I want to upgrade my freebsd server from 13.1-RELEASE FreeBSD 13.1-RELEASE releng/13.1-n250148-fc952ac2212 GENERIC amd64 to stable/14 (14.0-RELEASE). Has anyone tried it and faced any problems ? I wonder if upgrading from releng to stable needs some extra steps or is it same as normal...

I have recently decided to move from 13.2-RELEASE to 13.2-STABLE. Everything has gone well, and the process of updating from source, whilst slower, it has its own attraction. My next step is to build packages for stable. I can create poudrire jails following stable: poudriere -c -j 13-stable -v...

So, last week I moved from 13.2-Release-p1 to 13.2-Stable following the Handbook during the process. Everything went easily and smooth. I just have one question. The handbook explain about the N-number and how to check it locally. Is there a way to check if my /usr/src needs update without...

{link removed} Thanks, maybe six months is a basis for something else. 11.4 was released around two months after 13.0, and so on, and (unless I'm missing something) I see nothing relating to six months or biannual at the release engineering page above. {link removed} {link removed}...

14.0-RELEASE some time in 2023, I guess. {link removed ? link provider grahamperrin is dead} {link removed} {link removed}

Hi, I'm running: 12.0-STABLE FreeBSD 12.0-STABLE r351060 GENERIC amd64 Recently I was trying to upgrade the system and apply latest security patches.. Unfortunately when I'm running: freebsd-update fetch I'm getting the following error message: freebsd-update: Cannot upgrade from a version...

I see in the Handbook: Tracking a Development Branch that you checkout the source for STABLE to switch. Does it work the same way if you use pkg instead of ports? If not, what's the upgrade procedure? I want to track STABLE so I can hopefully have a working Bluetooth stack, as well as eventually...

Hi, I see on the repositories that only one 12.0-STABLE .img for RPI3 exists, and it's > 2Gb. The .img includes Mate, anyway, I need only a minimal image because I want my Pi only for firewalling and routing. Does anyone know whether a minimal image exists? Thanks, regards

I would like to start using jails but I have a few questions regarding updating them. I'm running 11-stable on the host and would like to run 11.1-release in the jails. I'm wondering if I can use freebsd-update to update the 11.1-release jails even when running 11-stable on the host. I noticed...

So, I recently upgraded from 11.1-RELEASE to 11-STABLE. Is it a good practice to update the efi partitions bootloader? So basically, mounting the msdosfs and replacing the current BOOTX64.EFI with the newly build loader located in /boot/boot1.efi?

Hi, I hope this is the right forum for this question. In April there was a commit replacing ARC4 with ChaCha20. The commit message states "MFC after: 2 months". That would have been in June. However to this day I don't see the changes, and I don't see newly created files, like in...

Hello, I want to port FreeBSD to some new device, with its drivers present. Which branch should I use for this purpose. Current, Stable or Release? And why?
