We don't supply custom images like that, we are working on getting some mirrors in place that should resolve your issues with not being able make use of the repos.

start livecd network service error?

2017-05-28T23:20:38Z

Hello, we only have one server so depending on the latency from where you are and where our server is this is unfortunately a networking issue we can't solve without people creating mirrors in other countries. I'm glad that you worked out your dhcpd issue.

error: key "EF3031DEE8614AAC" coud not be looked up remotely

2017-05-15T14:53:23Z

Sounds like you got your issue worked out.

The pacbsd-keyring throwing a 404 was probably because your system was still trying to use a defunct mirror which will be removed in the next update to the pacman-mirrorlist package. In the meantime if you comment out the following server

## France
Server = https://pacbsd.krkrkr.org/$repo/os/$arch

then you should be good.

How to upgrade kernel to 11.0?

The FreeBSD 11.0-RELEASE packages are in the core repo so if you run

sudo pacman -Syu

Cannot Create Account On Wiki

2017-04-23T23:44:21Z

That was a problem with MediaWiki and PHP, our version of media wiki was very out of date. The wiki has since been updated to the latest version and is working for the most part. There is a few minor theming issues that needs resolving but other than that it should be good now.

Project update 14/04/2017

2017-04-14T22:37:59Z

Hello everyone,

I just wanted to take a few minutes to do a quick update regarding the project. Things are progressing slower than what most people, myself included, would probably like. Currently most of my time that I have to devote to the project has been trying to get a mail server up (currently our forums and wiki are unable to send out emails to users to notify them of updates) also this would allow us to host mailing lists. This is still very much in-progress, but in the meantime I created two mailing lists on Google Groups for the project. Information about these lists can be found at Mailing List page.

Also the main site has been updated so some of the dead links now points somewhere but there are still some lists that don't work as there is no where for it to go.

Almost nothing works on the website

2017-04-14T01:08:34Z

Hello

Currently there is a small number of people that are part of the development team, and of that small team I'm currently the only one that is actively doing anything. So it is easy for me to get swamped with things to do link fixing the site which is still very much a massive work in progress.

Thank you for your understanding.

Side note: Moved to "PacBSD Discussion" as that is a more appropriate forum for this.

Recent forum spam and actions taken

2017-02-28T00:34:48Z

As some may already be aware over the past couple of days the forum came under a spam attack. All spam posts have been deleted and associated user accounts deleted. Also due to the high number of bogus user registrations over the past number of days user accounts registered within the past week have been deleted as well. If you are a legitimate user whose account was deleted as a result of this we do apologize, and feel free to re-register for an account.

Not sure if the recent forums update removed or broke the recaptcha that use to be on the forums, but a new one is now in place and should prevent a future attack.

mbzadegian,

Currently there has been no progress on adding in those pentesting tools yet. Development efforts are currently focused elsewhere.

FreeBSD-*' packages for the base system vs current Pacman packages

2017-02-23T02:38:33Z

Sorry for the late reply, but the base system is already managed though pacman, we have freebsd-{kernel,world,source} packages that make up the base system (minus a few things we broke out). This has been the case since the start of the project.

simple script to clone repository

2016-10-12T14:12:17Z

If the mirror is available under http and https or https only is your call. You tell us what protocols your mirror supports and we will go from there, as far as pacman goes we will probably have it go over HTTPS.

As for your JSON that looks valid so we are good.

Forum and Wiki back up

2016-09-19T12:13:51Z

Both the forum and wiki is back up after the server migration. For the most part everything seems to be working, but if any problems are discovered with either one report them here. The main website is being being redone to be simplified, so there may be broken links there this is a known issue. Getting the bug tracker and PacBSD User Repository back up is on the list although the User Repository is lower priority.

But I have readonly filesystem on live environment, isn't it? (Why?) Or I do something wrong?

The old ISOs had a readonly file system, which is why I said using the the USB image would be easier. As Amzo stated we have new images available (both ISO and IMG files) and on this ISO the filesystem is mounted as read-write so it should just work out of the box.
