updating from 6.3 to 7, mirror problems
I have been trying to update my system remotely using freebsd-update.sh . I receive this error message; Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found. Fetching public key from update1.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. I checked all the suggested solutions, my resolv.conf is pointing to my ISP's nameservers, I even tried pointing to other public name servers, but the same result.Changing "Server Name" to "update1.FreeBSD.org" did nothing either. What causes the failure to retrieve the key? Is there any other way of updating that does not involve downloading the iso files and burning to CD ? Thanks in advance.

Hi Andrew, Tried the above, results as follows: Ping ok %ping -c 5 update1.FreeBSD.org PING update1.FreeBSD.org (72.21.59.252): 56 data bytes 64 bytes from 72.21.59.252: icmp_seq=0 ttl=48 time=240.401 ms 64 bytes from 72.21.59.252: icmp_seq=1 ttl=48 time=240.708 ms 64 bytes from 72.21.59.252: icmp_seq=2 ttl=48 time=240.799 ms 64 bytes from 72.21.59.252: icmp_seq=3 ttl=48 time=240.364 ms 64 bytes from 72.21.59.252: icmp_seq=4 ttl=48 time=240.946 ms No luck with using freebsd-update localhost# /usr/sbin/freebsd-update --debug fetch Looking up update1.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found.

You are trying to run freebsd-update from 6.3-STABLE. This isn't supported. From the freebsd-update(8) manpage: "The FreeBSD Security Team only builds updates for releases shipped in binary form by the FreeBSD Release Engineering Team, e.g., FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE and FreeBSD 6.2-RC1, but not FreeBSD 6.2-STABLE or FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT." ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

How do I update from 6.3 STABLE to 7.0 STABLE ? I imagine there is a tool for that? Short of down loading the iso files and doing it from discs. Thanks for your patience!!

Don't know if there is a tool for this, but the usual way is to make a RELENG-7 supfile, csup the 7-STABLE sources and build them.

The tool freebsd-update may be used to update between releases (and release candidates) with binaries, but not between the development trees. -Steve ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
