update fetch failed....

Hello Guys,

i am trying to update any Servers with Version 14.1/2 to 14.2/3 via "freebsd-update upgrade -r 14.2/3-RELEASE" failed after fetching 2844 files. I need to download the files. What files i need for the Upgrade and where they should be located?

best regards Ré
 
I would not try to update to 14.2-RELEASE as it is already EoL and not supported anymore.

For upgrading to 14.3-RELEASE, I'd try first using freebsd-update fetch and subsequent install before upgrading. It is often that the latest patch contains a vital updated version of freebsd-update(8).
 
you can check freebsd-update's source as it is a shellscript
the bulk of patches and files is fetch via /usr/libexec/phttpget
by hacking the script you can access the list of patches and files put them in the destdir and then...

does not look very hard if you are ok with shell scripting
