killmasta93

Hi,
Sorry for my ignorance but im new to installing Freebsd ports and been reading the wiki but Im a bit confused After I run in ssh

pkg install E2guardian

then run

rehash

then run

E2guardian -nNpPi (interface)

but then the wiki does not say anything else?

Thank you

The gui code are already on pull request. It just need to be merged and compiled to 2.2

Last chance I did was fixing typos on gui.

Hi, any progress on e2guardian

Never having watched or waited for a package being made and launched, I am wondering:

1. Does it normally take this long for a package to show up? I'm not trying to be rude or impatient, I really don't know how long it takes. I don't know if this is normal, or if I should be concerned.

2. Did anyone else notice that e2guardian is no longer listed on github under pfsense/packages/config/ ? I could almost swear it was there 3 weeks ago.

It won't show in pfsense/packages/config/ until its been merged. Here is a link to the pull request.

Understood, please inform us when it will be available in pfsense. or how to install the package through pull request.

But the pull hasnt been updated in close to a month. How long from last change until it's put into a pull?

jwsmiths

Any updates?

Very interested in this as well. Lack of e2guardian has kept me from upgrading to 2.2.x. It looks to me like the package is ready to merge. Any way to get it raised in priority? Thanks in advance!

Per Github:

This pull request contains merge conflicts that must be resolved.
Only those with write access to this repository can merge pull requests.

with regards to the last pull request from Phil against Marcello's repo.

If that's not the problem, then perhaps:

…Then you might like to make a fresh copy of everything, put it in a new branch, and submit a new clean pull request with the "final" files.

I asked Marcello what the hold up is. His reply is here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=96031.msg536450#msg536450

Summary: bureaucratic delays

Long story: Apparently the current hold up is waiting for Renato (renatohtpc - https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?action=profile;u=265729) to review the code because there are issues with the coding style. It seems that no-one can filter anything in V2.2.x+ because the code isn't formatted correctly, nothing to do with it not working.

Action:
I haven't seen an ETA for the review, but I'm hoping Renato will give us one here. If enough people ask maybe we can even get it finished.

Work around:
In the mean time Marcello said he would write up some instructions on how to manually install the new e2guardian from the github code. I haven't seen them yet, but thanks in advance Marcello.

rjcrowder

I'd be happy to kick in a little more bounty for those instructions!!!

I need to test the alternative install before posting but anyone can download package files from pull request and manual install e2guardian binaries via freebsd pkg(pkg install e2guardian) on pfsense 2.2.x

Renato helped me a lot with e2guardian port to freebsd(especially on port file descriptions and contents) and I know pfSense project has a lot of points that need his attention.
