      The snapshot rebuild process i well documented; we have dated snapshots and even buldlogs.
      But how about packages?
      The pfSense box looks at pfsense.org/packages

      When and how is this rebuild?

      I.e. if I see a commit in pfsense-packages, how do I figure out if it is available in fsense.org/packages

        The commits in the packages repository are available within 5-10 minutes. They are synchronized every 5 minutes, but there may be some other delay so waiting 10 minutes is safer.

        The packages repo contains some binaries, and those will be available within the 5-10 minute window, but this may not be that way indefinitely. Storing binaries in that repo is making its management … difficult.

        Most Package binaries are generally rebuilt by hand as needed or requested by a package maintainer.
