Add file for package?

namezero111111

Dear folks,

for developing packages, is there any way to add a .tbz file to this url?

http://files.pfsense.org/packages/8/All/

marcelloc

What package did you did?

namezero111111

Hey, I need the sudo.tbz for the NRPE package, which I am updating.

marcelloc

Install manually from freebsd packages, when you finish devel and tests, you can include package dependencie on pkg_config XML file.

I'm not sure if I have sudo on my package repo, take a look on e-sac.siteseguro.ws/packages

namezero111111

Thanks! Yes I did install in manually. Does that mean when the pkg_config8.xml is pulled it will automatically add the sudo.tbz to the server specified at in depends_on_package_base_url?

EDIT: No, it's not there either, but the depends_on_package_base_url URL already contains a path because there are other dependencies that are there. Or is there a way to specify multiple sources (kind of on a per-dependency basis?)

marcelloc

When you specify ports path and compile args, it will be compiled via cron job. Check package dates on files.pfsense.org

Apologies, but I don't understand.

All I want to do is this:

Original code (pkgconfig.8.xml)

Fill up build port package info too

namezero111111

Thank you for your patience with my ignorance, marcelloc.

I've gone through these two pieces of documentation:
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Creating_Your_Own_Package_Repository#Step_1:_Web_Server
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Developing_Packages

However, nowhere could I find what build_port_path or the other values mean, do, or what they should be set at.

Is there another document I am missing that explains these things?

marcelloc

Just look five lines below your XML change and you will find it.

Take a look on postfix or squid package XML info to see how it works

namezero111111

Thank you, and apologies if I was unclear.

Of course I saw that in the xml code I edited and elsewhere for other packages, and it always seems to point to something in /usr/ports/www/.
However, I can find this path on neither the local pfsense system nor the github PFSense repository.

Looking at other packages did not help me understand what the path does or how it is used.
In other words, what is a build port path? A google search yielded no useful information on it either.
And how does that path help getting the tbz file to where it belongs?

??? ???

Anyone have any idea how to use this build port package, etc??
I can't find any documentation on it.
All I would like to do is add this line:

<depends_on_package>sudo.tbz</depends_on_package>

Then, I would like to copy the sudo.tbz form the FreeBSD repo (http://ftp2.FreeBSD.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/amd64/packages-8.2-release/All/) to the pfsense repo (http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/).

Is there something I'm missing here?
It seems that this process is clear to those who do it all the time, but it is hard for someone on the:outside" to understand.
I would love to commit those changes, as they make PFSense monitoring infinitely easier.

you can add any freebsd package(using the same version) via cmd with pkg_add -r http://path_to_package.tbz

if you need i386 version of sudo , then the link to it's package is

pkg_add -r http://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/8.1-RELEASE/packages/Latest/sudo.tbz

You need to specify the <build_port_path>as well which will build the necessary .tbz</build_port_path>

namezero111111

Hmmm… I think we're still at a misunderstanding here.

I have so far been using pkg_add, but I can't use that if I wish to modify a package as I understand.

From the previous posts I understand I have to "define" build_port_path.

However, I cannot find any documentation as to what a "build port path" is, what it should be set to, let alone how to test whether it works.

Can you maybe give me an example with the sudo in this case so on future packages I (and quite possibly others) can understand how to use this build directives?

marcelloc

Ports is where we compile almost everything for freebsd/pfsense

When you define build_port_path, you are specifying where in ports tree your package is compiled.

For example, ntop stays at /usr/ports/net/ntop

Take a look on freebsd site to learn about ports
http://www.freebsd.org/ports/index.html

namezero111111

Thanks!

So adding ports/security/sudo/ (or is it /usr/ports/security/sudo/) to the build_path_port will ensure a compiled sudo.tbz appear at http://files.pfsense.org/packages/amd64/8/All/ ?

Or am I wrong again here?

It's /usr/ports/security/sudo

This is the first step. The second is to ask core team to include this package on a daily build.

Here you can find the build options:
http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/ports/security/sudo/Makefile?rev=1.142

jimp

You are probably fine with the default sudo options so don't worry about those. Just add build_port_path tags to your package and then the builder should make one on the next package run (happens nightly) if not we may have to kick it by hand but it can be made to work either way.
