Are there packages not available on the ARM port (for SG-1000)?

swapjim

Are there packages not available on the ARM port, used on SG-1000? If yes, is there a list for those?

doktornotor

Maybe look here?

swapjim

So if I don't see Snort on that list, it's not available - correct?

doktornotor

Yeah exactly, what's not there is not available (ATM). ;)

swapjim

Excellent!

Is there also a list for the x86 port? So I can make a direct comparison. I tried sniffing on the directories on that link but it's confusing and google doesn't help!

Uhm… replace armv6 with amd64 in the link.

swapjim

Aw man, it was so easy? Ok, I've got the lists. Thanks!

The packages that are not on ARM are mostly missing because they either do not compile or do not make sense on the platform, or they are dependencies of packages that are not there. For example, no need for VM guest tools if we know it's real hardware, not enough horsepower for snort/suricata even if they did compile.

To boil it down to user-facing stuff:

$ grep 'pfSense-pkg' not-on-armv6.txt | cut -f2- -d '/' | sort
pfSense-pkg-blinkled
pfSense-pkg-freeradius2
pfSense-pkg-gwled
pfSense-pkg-LCDproc
pfSense-pkg-ntopng
pfSense-pkg-Open-VM-Tools
pfSense-pkg-snort
pfSense-pkg-suricata
