freebsd-update
On a 7.1-PRERELEASE machine I try
Code:
~>/usr/sbin/freebsd-update fetch Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 2 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 7.1-PRERELEASE from update1.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching metadata signature for 7.1-PRERELEASE from update2.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. [1] 60951 exit 1 /usr/sbin/freebsd-update fetch ~> |

What do you want to update to?
If you want to go to 7.1, you should do the following freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.1-RELEASE Accept merges... reboot freebsd-update install reboot freebsd-update install (AGAIN) reboot |
|

I tried that and I get:
Code:
~>freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.1-RELEASE Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 2 mirrors found. Fetching metadata signature for 7.1-PRERELEASE from update2.FreeBSD.org... failed. Fetching metadata signature for 7.1-PRERELEASE from update1.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. [1] 62387 exit 1 sudo freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.1-RELEASE ~> |

Update /etc/resolv.conf and use DNS of your provider, not your router or smth.

Same thing. But what about the "Fetching metadata signature ... failed"-bit. Could it be that there is no metadata for 7.1-PRERELEASE?
|
|

Aha, so by following freebsd-update you might end up in a dead end? I started with 7.0 RELEASE and now I am stuck in 7.1-PRERELEASE... The solution is to do a fresh install or upgrading via source then?

How did you end up with 7.1-PRERELEASE?
I guess you did a source update to the STABLE branch. I guess Dutch Daemon is right about only the RELEASE branch being supported by freebsd-update. Somehow it makes sense, what metadata would you keep for the STABLE branch, one for each commit? |
|

Try the following:
Code:
% su # env UNAME_r=7.1-PRERELEASE freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.1-RELEASE

Same thing... However
Code:
env UNAME_r=7.0-RELEASE freebsd-update upgrade -r 7.1-RELEASE |
