@pcarter.bluelinevoip:

I've got no experience in XML or PHP however and was wondering if there was something like an idiot's guide to creating a pfsense package ?

I wish there was, someone is supposed to start work on one soon, so hopefully we'll see some good documentation coming together.

Looking at the files for existing packages is your best bet right now.

I got this fixed by installing the newest version of bsdinstaller from cvs.

Thanks.  I just fixed this issue.

@cmb:

Does that make a major, measurable difference? If so, I'm sure patches would be welcome.

sbin/pfctl -ss on my machine lasts about 5 seconds with the states table about 60K, 4 times is about 20 seconds.
reusing a file can reduces total time down to about 5 seconds.

have you finished the package ??

it downloads everything from cvs. leave it running overnight.

ok will post it

yeah i realise this just thought you might know a quick fix or something i was missing….
guess im on my own then....

i created another full bsd install on another comp instead and that did the trick for what i was after...
ta.

you find them on the pfsense develphers image

Go to the Wiki of pfsense and have a look at the proposed articles.
This just might be it: http://wiki.pfsense.com/wikka.php?wakka=ReBrandingSupport

Good luck  ;)

I presume that you want to rebuild it afterwards…. but, please. Don't.
If you couldn't find the link in this post - then please note that rebuilding pfsense is another ball game yet  :)
Although, it is possible.

This process is not supported.  You are on your own.

The mirrors have dev iso's from 16 May.

http://pfsense.org/mirror.php?section=downloads/developers

As Scott said, the dev version is unsupported by the devs.

From experience, this kind of problem resolves itself after a few days. So, patience, grasshopper.

;)

lost electricity so dont know. will try again.

Great :D, it works.

Hi,

I did a research regarding PHP-based REST framweworks. Cause I am at work and thus do not have access to my bookmarks I won't be able to provide a link. I'll try to paste a link ASAP…

What I found so far:

thanks for the fast reply!
tomorrow or friday I get a new machine (http://geizhals.at/a243705.html) and hope that that will solve the problem.
otherwise I will try Intel NIC's.

best regards,

Basically people should take five minutes to sit down and think about roles. After that you will realize that pfSense has not the role of a database server (period!). So if you need to store data, setup a RDBMS on a dedicated machine.
