you said , "keep patience until someone with permissions will update the fix to the metasploit package." what you did was, you removed my bug report as it was fixed! no it's not fixed there's no update available to metasploit package fix it fast. I gave all my patience i could ,
Hello d0wq92, the port has already been updated https://cgit.freebsd.org/ports/tree/security/metasploit/distinfo. You will need to sync the new port updates to your local ports directory though. This is process is documented in the FreeBSD Handbook: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/ports/#ports-using Assuming that you cloned your ports tree: # git clone https://git.FreeBSD.org/ports.git /usr/ports The following commands will update your ports and rebuild and reinstall metasploit # git -C /usr/ports pull # cd /usr/ports/security/metasploit # make reinstall
(In reply to tanawts from comment #1) That's great, but i never used metasploit from port. i use <strong>package</strong> not <em>port</em> of metasploit. which i installed by doing , pkg install metasploit.
By default, FreeBSD is configured to take updated packages on a Quarterly basis, so if you haven't modified your pkg config, you would not see the update available for at least 3 months. You can switch this setting and use latest however by running the following: # mkdir -p /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos # echo 'FreeBSD: { url: "pkg+http://pkg.FreeBSD.org/${ABI}/latest" }' > /usr/local/etc/pkg/repos/FreeBSD.conf This is documented in the handbook here: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/book/#quarterly-latest-branch Ports are updated more or less instantaneously once check-ins occur. Packages take time to rebuild, and if I recall, it's around a 2 day cycle before a recently updated port becomes a package in the branch "Latest". The Quarterly default is to provide general stability
In the future if you are curious about what Package versions are available for a given FreeBSD port based upon their FreeBSD Release + Quarterly / Latest Branch and architecture, you can check FreshPorts - https://www.freshports.org/security/metasploit/ Packages (timestamps in pop-ups are UTC): metasploit ABI aarch64 amd64 armv6 armv7 i386 powerpc powerpc64 powerpc64le FreeBSD:13:latest 6.4.7 6.4.7 6.0.23 - 6.4.7 - 6.0.23 - FreeBSD:13:quarterly 6.3.50_3 6.3.50_3 - - 6.3.50_3 - - - FreeBSD:14:latest 6.3.50_3 6.4.7 - - 6.4.7 - - - FreeBSD:14:quarterly 6.3.50_3 6.3.50_4 - - 6.3.50_4 - - - FreeBSD:15:latest 6.3.50_4 6.4.7 n/a - n/a - - -
