Cloning Package repository issue

[Guest]

Hi
after execution of this command:

git clone git://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-packages.git packages

only config files are downloaded and required archives and pbi files are not downloaded in packages directory.
how can i solve this issue?

The binaries are not in the git repo, only the xml/php/misc files are.

You must use the combination of the packages repository and the tools repository on an appropriate VM to build the PBIs yourself.

What tools? can i clone tools repository?

https://github.com/pfsense/pfsense-tools

The same tools repository needed to build an .iso

You need a builder system/VM to build packages just like you need one to build an ISO. The same system could be used for both if needed.

What script in pfsense tools can be used to build PBI?
