[QUESTION] Custom Package Repo, again…

Hobby-Student

Hey guys,

since 2.1 I'm using my own repo. I don't clone the "original", but add extra packages to the XML's and point to my own server. Till now everything went smooth, but I decided to go with 2.2.

Snapshot: Wed Dec 17 10:56:19 CST 2014

The webGUI shows me the "alert" that I have a custom repo configured. But installing my own packages, it tries to download from


https://files.pfsense.org/packages/{$rel}/All/

So I decided to edit "/etc/inc/pkg-utils.inc" at line 493 from


$priv_url = "https://files.pfsense.org/packages/{$rel}/All/";

to


$priv_url = "https://my.own.server/packages/{$rel}/All/";

Now it works, but it's hardcoded and changes in the webGUI won't have any effect.
Had no time to look more in detail, but I would love to see this feature working again :)

Thanks in advance

~~It's getting weird… I installed my self created PBI and it was listed as "installed". Did a couple of reboots and it's gone from "installed" Packages, but it does work as it should.

Available Packages:
A list of all "default" available packages + my custom squid package

Installed Packages after install, before reboot:
mailreport
my custom squid package

Installed Packages after install, after reboot:
mailreport
no custom squid. it is listed under "available packages" again.

BUT:
After installation, custom squid is working as expected. No change to the functions after reboot. Everything runs smooth and squid is installed under "/usr/pbi/squid-amd64/".

The PBI was created with the pfsense-tools. In 2.1.5 everything worked this way. Is it me or my pfense box? :o~~

Seems that me is the problem… ::)
installed my custom squid again -> pfsense knows that it is a reinstall
uninstalled it
reboot
installed
reboot
checked
reboot
checked
reboot
checked
everything is fine :)

will have a look on this on my other pfSense's. If there are similar issues, I will report back.

The custom repo-URL is not solved. I need it hardcoded in my system.

Could someone please give me a hint where the download actually happens? I can't find the place where


pkg_fetch_recursive

is called. It looks like the base_url is not set properly…
