I have CCed freebsd-stable@ on this to see if anyone knows if this is intended or a mistake.

Possibly an issue with the freebsd-update servers/mirrors? more likely that it doesnt support upgrading from an arbitrary point in the -STABLE tree. 10:05:58 </usr/src/sys/i386/compile/LOBSTER>) 0 # freebsd-update -r 7.1-RELEASE upgrade Looking up update.FreeBSD.org mirrors... 1 mirrors found.

Fetching public key from update1.FreeBSD.org... failed. No mirrors remaining, giving up. The getting of the public key seems to be the issue no matter how i go about trying to upgrade .. so my question now is, why is this and are there other mirror sites that can be used ? Below is my Uname -a output if it has any relevance.. FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE FreeBSD 6.3-STABLE #11: Thu Aug 7 17:32:22 EST 2008 shinjii@:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/GENERIC amd64
