Hi,
I have a fresh install of 10.1-STABLE.Everything is fine but when I try to update this is what I get:
root@owncloud:/usr/home/beastie # freebsd-update fetchLooking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 5 mirrors found.Fetching public key from update5.freebsd.org... failed.Fetching public key from update4.freebsd.org... failed.Fetching public key from update6.freebsd.org... failed.Fetching public key from update2.freebsd.org... failed.Fetching public key from update3.freebsd.org... failed.No mirrors remaining, giving up.
Or with debug:root@owncloud:/usr/home/beastie # freebsd-update -v debug -s update5.freebsd.org fetchLooking up update5.freebsd.org mirrors... none found.Fetching public key from update5.freebsd.org... fetch: http://update5.freebsd.org/10.1-STABLE/amd64/pub.ssl: Not Foundfailed.No mirrors remaining, giving up.
No matter which server I use it keeps giving me the public key error. I can't understand what is happening, the network is fine.

You can't use freebsd-update with 10-STABLE. It only works with
*release* versions.

If you want to switch to 10.1-RELEASE you should be able to d something
like:

# freebsd-update -r 10.1-RELEASE upgrade
# freebsd-update install
(... and then follow the instructions freebsd-update gives you. You
will end up running 'freebsd-update install' three times.)

Otherwise, if you stick with 10-STABLE then you will need to compile
your own world to update.

Cheers,

Matthew
