ATTN: Package Builders

[dataking]

Is there a "standard" out there for building a package and how to do it?

I am new to pfSense but am looking at ways to extend it for my own needs, as much as is reasonable.

this is the starting guide:
http://doc.pfsense.org/index.php/Developing_Packages

basically you build xml files to use pfsense framework and call a php script (package_name.inc) file to check options selected on gui and apply to package conf.

The package build options and location can be found on github.
