It is like pulling teeth around here to get this second pull merged since they merged my original and failed to update an archive. It has been 24 days since the 2nd pull request was made and not a single person has commented/communicated with me about any problems. They want me to sign a Contributor license agreement before any code is merged. Yet they broke the package completely by merging and not reading. They have failed to send me said license to sign.

I don't know how this kind attitude is supposed to encourage contributors.

have you emailed anyone - or you just waiting around?

I gave up waiting for them to update the front end to this package and just manually installed the vnstat2 pbi from the pfSense repo and then grabbed the php front end from http://www.sqweek.com/sqweek/?p=1 .

There are some minor steps needed to get it working you have to manually initialized the databases for each interface and add them to the config.php in the frontend. I didn't bother adding a link to the pfSense GUI. The frontend should be placed in the /usr/local/www/vnstat2 and when they finally fix this it should over write the existing files or you can choose to delete them before installing from the pfSense package manager. Then you can simply navigate to https://yourrouter/vnstat2 and you will have the vnstat interface.

We have a contributor agreement up now.

Sorry this has delayed things, just one of those things we have to do to ensure the legal status of the project.
