      Bryan,

      Has any of the devs gotten back to you? And thank you for updating this! I've done my best to put a bandaid on it a couple of years ago… Just never had the time to understand how the packaging works to correct it that way.

      Nothing yet  :( Threw a question to the dev mailing list.

      @Cino:

      Edit: Just manually updated my currently vnstat2 install.. Good work! Only suggestion I have is to add a link down somewhere it says "vnStat PHP frontend 1.5.1" to link back to pfSense interface. To me its a nice to have to you dont have keep hitting back or change the url to go back to pfSense.

      I used to do some PHP development. I am looking at ways at improving this package. At least I just wanted to fix it for 2.1.

      @Cino:

      Glad I came across this, thinking about updating my box to 2.1.1 but may wait until the frontend file is uploaded so the package can reinstall on upgrade

      Hopefully soon :)

        Integrated the file into the repo itself. Once that pull request goes through and either nightly build or manual build and package should be up and running again :)

              I previously used vnstat2 on 2.0.3 and found it very useful. When I unpgraded to 2.1 vnstat2 failed.

              Question - once the updated files have been uploaded should I update vnstat2 - or remove it completely and reinstall fresh?

              How to know when updated files are all available and ready to install?

              Thanks - sorry for poor understanding :)

                Pretty lengthy I would wait.

                The version will changed to 1.11_1 uninstall and resinstall I think the database should be left intact. If you wish to back it up back up the /cf/conf/vnstat folder

                                  All we can do is wait. 10 days so far is disappointing.

                                    They normally dont take this long… Email Chris the link of the push request directly.

                                      I have emailed him, Ermal, core, posted at dev mailinglist, tried irc, maybe jimp etc. They are aware of it I am sure. You can try emailing them if you would like.

                                        I sent Jimp a PM. He may or may not be able to fix it but anything to help bring attention to this issue would be good.  :)

                                        EDIT: Nevermind, I forgot that he didn't want PMs asking for help.

                                          did you piss off one of the devs?  Insult with one of their spouses?  From what I've read merging your commits shouldn't be a big ordeal.

                                          I know I asked before and you said it would be too difficult to manually install, but is there any way you can make this into a pkg that we can just manually load?

                                          I really want/need your package because i'm looking to change ISPs to one with bandwidth caps and could really use some trending for a month or two first.

                                            Really it's still broken!?  All joking aside this is absurd.  I don't understand why it's so difficult to get a patch through unless there's something else going on.  Either politics is at play, or it's not a simple fix to apply the patch.
