Packages update Request
-
Okay, this sounds manageable, given that I am on a learning curve here (bsd pkg system). Would I take the HD version of the package and make those changes? If so, where would I get it?
-
It's not the bsd package system you'd be dealing with, but the pfSense package system.
You can checkout the pfSense packages repo from git if you want to look at the individual packages.
-
sorry for the confusion. i'm aware there is a difference - i was referring to the pkg_* system, which is specific to BSD, not (for example) linux. i will take a look…
-
Ah… well, the pfSense package stuff is mainly XML and PHP. In this case, all of the changes will probably be in the PHP code for the package.
-
I am not clear if there is a difference between the embedded versions and the full versions, in terms of: are there different actual packages, or does the package have to figure out the operating environment and act accordingly?
-
There is no difference in packages. If any platform-specific code is needed, you can check /etc/platform, if the file contains the text "nanobsd" then it's on nanobsd.
The functions to mount things read/write and read only are basically a no-op on full installs, so they can be inserted where needed and will only affect nanobsd.

cool thanks!

I split the package development questions off into its own thread:

How possible update pfSense packages-7 tree ?
I think only GeekGod, cmb, and a few others have access to that. They have to manually place new files there. Do you have a file that needs updated or changed? You can probably open a redmine ticket to get it done and they'll pick it up.
