New Package: Filer
-
I added the category to that page. Just need [[Category:Packages]] in the page.

Okay cool, I was able to do it the right way with the git pull request and such.
I have a question though. Since I'm running my own repo, I have my pfSense boxes pointed at the repo, and in the config, I have to put my repo URL in order for me to pull the packages. Then when I go to make them public, I have to change them to point to the main pfSense repo. But if I want to make more changes I once again have to change all the URLs. Is there a better way to manage this?

you cant try to fake repo ip pointing to your local repo

I am only using the repo on my computer if I need to add new file(s). If I just want to edit some lines I do this in my favourite editor (Notepadd++) and after I finished coding I just copy and paste these using the GitHub page.
To see if my changes are working on pfSense I just copy all .XML and .INC files to /usr/local/pkg. That's all. -

Yeah I thought about doing that maybe.. redirecting www.pfsense.org to my repo. I suppose I could still get to the site through the .com. I figured I'd ask in case you guys had any better ideas.
I see that the pull request I did was merged, but when I actually try to load the packages on any of my installations, my package is not listed. Is there something else I have to do?

I think you don't have to.
I have similar "problems". I have updated freeradius2 package yesterday to pkg v1.4.3 but it still shows me v1.4.2 in pfsense Package Manager. But on github there are the updated files as far as I can see that. I had this problem on monday I think.Then jimp wrote in another thread that there were problems with the repo and syncing…but not sure at all whats the problem now. :(

Briantist,
I made some improvements on filer package.
-
Field input check
-
Option to load an existing file instead of always writing contents to it
-
script option to run after file update/sync
Can you test these changes on your config before I publish it on github?

marcello, I am facing a huge backlog of work right now, but I would love to test those changes. Do you mind waiting, maybe a week or so?
Thanks; these changes sound good.
-
I did a backup of first release.
I'll publish it and when you have time test it.
If you find any issues, just let me know.

Okay that sounds fine; it will be easier for me to test it that way anyway.
Also a great add-on to firefox is called "It's All text!" It adds a little edit button to any text box on a web page and lets you "open" it in a text editor of your choice,t hen when you save the file it gets put back into the box. Helpful for editing shell scripts and such with syntax highlighting without having to work on a local file and then upload it again. It makes a great helper to filer!
