Guys, I landed in state where I can't do any upgrade: root@slave:/ # freebsd-update -v debug fetch -F Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... none found. Fetching public key from update.FreeBSD.org... fetch: http://update.FreeBSD.org/11.0-ALPHA3/i386/pub.ssl http://update.FreeBSD.org/11.0-ALPHA3/i386/pub.ssl: Not Found failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. Apparently there is no 11.0-ALPHA3 version published anywhere. How do I upgrade to RC3 now?

You want RC3, not ALPHA3? freebsd-update upgrade -r 11.0-RC3

    My understanding is that upgrades are not supported for ALPHA releases. It's worked for me for the BETA and RC releases.

      Do you know why is it trying to request ALPHA3 when I want to upgrade to RC3? Will I be able to upgrade to -RELEASE in a week?

        Are you on ALPHA3? What does freebsd-version show?

        ALPHA3, I even dont know how I got this version!

I don't think FreeBSD update is supported from alpha. Just lie to it about what version you have. It does verification via checksums and knows what the end result is supposed to be so it will do the right thing. Just don't try to use this to go backwards. UNAME_r=11.0-RC1 freebsd-update -r 11.0-RC3 upgrade
