well, i tried it first and ran

Code: Select all

ltbowers ~/ root~$ sudo finch chroot
finch: chrooting to "/mnt/Sdata/finch".
ltbowers // root^> pkg upgrade plesmediaserver
Updating FreeBSD repository catalogue...
Fetching meta.txz: 100%    944 B   0.9kB/s    00:01

FreeBSD repository update completed. 24520 packages processed.
pkg: plesmediaserver is not installed, therefore upgrade is impossible
pkg: No packages available to upgrade matching 'plesmediaserver' have been found in the repositories

so i then looked about the directories a bit and cd's back and ran

Code: Select all

ltbowers ~/ root^> sudo service plexmediaserver start
Starting plexmediaserver.
ltbowers ~/ root^> pkg upgrade plexmediaserver

when i look at plex i still have an update available... what am i doing wrong.

Being on BSD you will never get the latest version.
Even more so if using pkg. if you use ports to install you may get a newer version.
Pkg latest is 9.12.11

ltbowers // root^> pkg upgrade plesmediaserver

This is what happens when you get tired, have kids to run about everywhere, working a normal day at work and refurb work at home! (and not in that order!!!)
thanks for spotting it!

Ok, just found out that if you are on 10.2 the default pkg repo was changed from latest to quarterly.
Edit your jails /etc/pkg/FreeBSD.conf and change the quarterly to latest in the url.

After that run pkg update and then pkg upgrade.

Went from 0.9.12.11 to 0.9.12.19. Still not the latest plex version, but a good bump.

Hello, I don't know if this is a jail specific issue but I personally run Finch-Light(no qjails), and pkg install show the latest Plex version ("0.9.12.19.1537") without modifying the FreeBSD.conf, but of course portsnap will bring the latest, however I don't upgrade Plex to often as long as stuff are working, (except on security updates)

I just install packages directly into "chroot" like an normal FreeBSD installation, for simplicity, because chroot is like a less restrictive jail but still being isolated from the host, and is more than enough for a home server.
