Packetfence 4.0.5 was released on 8-12-2013. Slight bit of craziness, since there were a couple problems with it. But Inverse issued patches within hours. Now the downloaded version is stable and works fairly well.
I however ran into a couple bumps with that upgrade/patch.
First one was I ran into this bug: http://www.packetfence.org/bugs/view.php?id=1676
Which basically the radius server was throwing SOAP errors and would not return the correct vlan, and then after a few hours just stop running. The patch listed here: https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence/commit/4861189ba7faf680eef257d5b1c157d7260fe0de Was missing/didn't apply to the update. So I found the line in the source and edited it to reflect the change. This resolved the issue and the radius server has been running since.
The other was the retrieval for role for gaming device registration. This was a quick two lines added to module described here: https://github.com/inverse-inc/packetfence/commit/36bacc02289afb01a1abd38420585c7f792a4511
At this point I have to freeze the code, no more updates as this is completely in production. And the students are back on campus. The only changes I think we be made are page edits to fix the wording or add more information to the pages.
Update to this post:
After experiencing some problems, I found that my installation is still at 4.0.1 - which is why these patches were not there. Only a certain part of PF was upgraded. Not anything to make it matter.
