Testing new packages?

alexus

well Eclipse is more like a compiler, you dont really need tthat advanced one, waht I woud want to see is something like gui where you can add files and directories of your app (like my has 3 files and 1 dir with a 1 file in it) and then add other text config and ability automatically either to submit to common test server or submit for appruval to add to main server. THen if you running Dev version you can view pakages on the common test server

From Wikipedia:

Eclipse (software), a Java integrated development environment (IDE) and platform for rich client applications originally created by IBM

From where did you get the information, that Eclipse is a compiler - Eclipse ships with a custom compiler or you are able to use Java, C/C++ or whatever compiler types from other vendors like Sun.

At the moment I don't know a pfSense developer that may be interested in developing a GUI based application for pfSense package developement.

Nah, I see no need for one. The only thing that we really need to do is document the process a bit better.

alexus

well maybe better docs could help but so far i put aside developing of a pacage and will just do a custom image for myself :-P

After all the help that folks have given so far for this? Seems a bit unfair, no?

alexus

well what can i do?
I just cant get it how to buid the package….

DanielSHaischt

minor corrections:

Wikipedia is wrong about IBM - Eclipse was developed by OTI Labs, Zürich which is a subsidiary of IBM
I didn't want to give the impression that a pfSense GUI for package developement would be necessary

:P

Have you looked at the other packages in the system? It's pretty straight forward.

alexus

I really love such issue reports. I bet the PHP parser didn't give you the error error in line 1005 or something like that. Parsers and compilers are very specific about errors, so would you mind to provide the complete error if you are interested in getting any help?

Most likely a copy and paste error…

alexus

copy paste of the file?
well should it be only one file or more then that?
I looked inside and it referes to other files which are definetly not in the directory

Start from square one.

Start over from scratch. You obviously missed a step.

Having just spent ages trying to get this to work. There is one obvious (in the end) thing that was getting in the way of it working for me.
If you run your xml-rpc server on pfsense you can't have the web gui in https mode as the xml-rpc stuff is all done in http

Well now it is working I just need to finish the package ;)

Maybe it would help people make packages if the xml-rpc server and other bits in this thread could be made into a package to install.

@sullrich:

Download http://www.pfsense.com/xmlrpc.tgz … Extract to root of your webserver. Or to pfSense's root.

Is the xmlrpc.tgz file still needed? It appears to be AWOL.

Does /home/pfsense/www on the development install contain the contents of xmlrpc.tgz?

Check out the cvstrac page, and look in the www directory. That should have all the files you need.
