Dear all,

Hopefully I am in the right place to report on 2.21

Just in case not – a quick summary

Moved to testing from stable 120.

Pakfire upgraded first to 121 – no reboot suggested.

Pakfire upgraded next to 2.21 – This time reboot required.

Reboot failed with a broken grub.  I could not fix this with the manual grub commands to get ipfire running at all so could not rewrite grub from a running system. 

This may be my machine as I had used a live parted in the past to make a properly useful size var partition.

Bit the bullet and downloaded nightly build of 2.21 and reinstalled a clean ipfire.

So far so good.

Only one comment about restoring previous settings from a backup.

My backup was old  and from a time when php was supported.  After restoring the backup a surprise was in store the next time apache web interface was restarted.  Apache failed as there is a reference in the conf files from backup to load php so extension.

Commenting out the line fixes it of course.  Just thought I would mention that restoring backups from a version prior to the latest may have issues as features start to get expired.

By the way I really admire the stuff you do and a donation is en-route.

Regards,

Paul
