We are aware of an issue where many of you have been experiencing some frustrating issues involving the update to PC-BSD 10.1. While we constantly strive for a stable easy going process with PC-BSD in use and in upgrading, sometimes issues appear that were not prevalent during our testing. We are working on a new upgrade patch that will hopefully solve the upgrade problem for some of you who have still not been able to successfully upgrade to 10.1. What we are planning on doing is incorporating just freebsd-update to handle this upgrade for the kernel and let the packages be installed seperately after the kernel has been upgraded.
Going forward we have some ideas on how we can improve the updating process to give a better end user experience for PC-BSD. Just one idea we’ve been thinking about is giving ourselves a little more time before letting RELEASE updates become available to the public. During the extra time period we can ask some of our more advanced users to go ahead and install the “beta” updates and provide us with feedback if issues come up that we were not able to find during our initial testing of the update. This will also let us examine many more different types of system setups.
We want to thank all of you for being avid PC-BSD supporters and want you to understand we are 100% dedicated to providing the BEST BSD based desktop operating system in the world. Going forward our goal is to provide an upgrade experience that is not only simple, but also has gone through much more rigorous testing by our dedicated community to ensure the quality everyone here is looking for.
Thanks!
