Is FreeBSD 13.1 no longer supported?

[darkoverlordofdata]

Per About This Computer, we are on FreeBSD 13.1, but as of July 31, 2023 FreeBSD 13.1 is past EOL (https://www.freebsd.org/security/unsupported/), and when I try to install go, I get this error

pkg: repository FreeBSD contains packages for wrong OS version: FreeBSD:13:amd64
Unable to update repository FreeBSD
Error updating repositories!

How should this be resolved? Do I run an update locally, and if so, what exactly do I need to do?

Or will there be a new version of helloSystem?

thanks!

To be clear, I get the error trying to install any package. For example, I’ve tried installing dwarf-fortress and oolite and they have the same issue.

I also get it when I enter:

sudo pkg update -f

This means that we will have to release 0.8.2 or 0.9 sooner or later, with FreeBSD 13.2 as a base.

The version number of 0.9 is better, which can distinguish which BSD version it is in, such as 13.1 (0.8.x) and 13.2 (0.9.x), "x" is the build version number of the helloSystem preview version. UPDATE: I was wrong, the number will be huge if this method continues.

[probonopd]

There is now the first build of what will become 0.9.0, please test it and let me know if there are any showstoppers (things that are really bad and were better before).

The UI is good. The top menubar auto-scales on my external monitor. But I run into some issues installing applications:

1 - I couldn't get the Developer img to install. I open the downnload and I a popup with

usage: mount_cd9660 [-begjrv] [-C charset] [-o options] [-s startsector] special node

Then it puts the Developer icon on the desktop, but its empty - 0 items.

2 -I tried to install from the menu - Krita, LibreOffice, etc, they all error. first, I get a debug style popup with a list variable names and values: defaultDir, indexThemeFile etc. then I get an error popup:

Exception ignored in: <_io.TextIOWrapper name='<stdout>' mode='w' encoding='utf-8'>
BrokenPipeError:[Errno 32]Broken Pipe

Nothing installed.

3- I can use pkg to install - I installed chromium:

sudo pkg install chromium

and it installs ok, but is never added to the menu. And, unfortunatey, the new QT theme is not working either.

And - Not your fault, but once again, VSCode is missing from the repository. Sigh, that get's old.

Thanks for testing @darkoverlordofdata. In the future, please open one bug ticket per issue. I am working on the issues you reported above; you should see a gradual improvement over the next few builds of the nightly ISO. Again, thank you very much!

[probonopd]

@darkoverlordofdata hopefully all of the issues you reported 3 days ago should be fixed in today's continuous builds. Thanks for reporting them, and it would be awesome if you could help retest.

[darkoverlordofdata]

Great, I'll look for it.

For the fun of it, you might want to try out the new Filer as well... Press "V" for verbose boot, it will also load the new Filer for testing.
