Packages update Request
-
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.
