Re: Upgrading from old version (13.0-RELEASE-p4)

If you’re getting the “No Mirrors Remaining” error, it may be that you’re pointing at the wrong update pool.  Can you please post your /etc/freebsd-update.conf, if it’s changed from stock? (Also, any that may be in /usr/local/etc?)

I’ve used freebsd-update to update from releases as early as 8.x, there should be no need for a full buildworld (assuming you have enough disk space).  Check your resolvers and firewall.

Worst case scenario, freebsd-update is a shell script.  Add a -x to its shebang line as a debug.

This should be pretty easy to fix.
