Package repository and nanobsd

Guest

hi all
I have created my own package repository. when iso image is installed, everything is ok.
but when i using nanobsd this error occurs:

Unable to retrieve package info from ..... Cached data will be used.

Should different platform have different package repository?!!
Thanks in advance

I've set it up successfully using nanobsd using "Creating Your Own Package Repository"[1] instructions and it works fine on my nanobsd appliance. Did you follow those instructions? Can you see the php generated arrays once you have cloned the git repositories?

yes, I followed the guidelines.
I'm testing the package repository when internet connection is disconnected.
I want to use a package repository in my LAN.
Please disconnect internet connection, setup repository in your lan and test again…can you use repository or cache data is used?
I discovered my first problem:
in php inc files,(pfsense-utils.inc) a query is automatically sent for product website ( www.pfsense.com).

/*
 * call_pfsense_method(): Call a method exposed by the pfsense.com XMLRPC server.
 */
function call_pfsense_method($method, $params, $timeout = 0) {
	global $g, $config;

	$ip = gethostbyname($g['product_website']);
	/*if($ip == $g['product_website'])
		return false;*/

i commented out 2 line of code, but in nanobsd , Unable to retrieve package error remains.

I cannot disconnect our WAN interfaces to test this, sorry.

You didn't mention whether the pfSense test links work on your repository host. Did you try those URLs? I would also ensure that error_reporting in PHP is disabled as some of the deprecation warnings for the ereg functions may cause issues with the retrieval of package information.
