Upgrading 9.1-BETA1 -> 9.1-RC1

[Thomas Mueller]

from Maarten Billemont <lhunath at lyndir.com>:

> I've installed a FreeBSD server using the BETA1 release because RC1 was delayed.  I notice the 9.1-RC1 is available now, so I thought I'd upgrade ASAP.

> The following command, however, fails me:

> freebsd-update -r 9.1-RC1 upgrade
> Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 3 mirrors found.
> Fetching metadata signature for 9.1-BETA1 from update4.FreeBSD.org... failed.
> Fetching metadata signature for 9.1-BETA1 from update3.FreeBSD.org... failed.
> Fetching metadata signature for 9.1-BETA1 from update5.FreeBSD.org... failed.
> No mirrors remaining, giving up.

> Upon inspection of the code, it appears BETA1's ssl.pub cannot be found at any of the mirrors, and as such the process aborts.

> The release notes for RC1 specifically mention freebsd-update.

> How do I perform a correct update to RC1, and why is the freebsd-update flow failing me or not supported?

> Thanks!

I believe freebsd-update only works, to and from, on supported releases; this would not include betas.
