E2guardian package for pfsense - $??
-
$25 send :)
Hope to see a bit more love for the Postfix and Mailscanner package as well.
-
The gui code are already on pull request. It just need to be merged and compiled to 2.2
Last chance I did was fixing typos on gui.

Thanks for the info buddy

Hi, any progress on e2guardian
-
Never having watched or waited for a package being made and launched, I am wondering:
1. Does it normally take this long for a package to show up? I'm not trying to be rude or impatient, I really don't know how long it takes. I don't know if this is normal, or if I should be concerned.
2. Did anyone else notice that e2guardian is no longer listed on github under pfsense/packages/config/ ? I could almost swear it was there 3 weeks ago.

It won't show in pfsense/packages/config/ until its been merged. Here is a link to the pull request.

Understood, please inform us when it will be available in pfsense. or how to install the package through pull request.

I understand, but waiting for this package so long. any expected timeline.

But the pull hasnt been updated in close to a month. How long from last change until it's put into a pull?
-
Any updates?
-
Very interested in this as well. Lack of e2guardian has kept me from upgrading to 2.2.x. It looks to me like the package is ready to merge. Any way to get it raised in priority? Thanks in advance!

Per Github:
This pull request contains merge conflicts that must be resolved.
Only those with write access to this repository can merge pull requests.with regards to the last pull request from Phil against Marcello's repo.
If that's not the problem, then perhaps:
…Then you might like to make a fresh copy of everything, put it in a new branch, and submit a new clean pull request with the "final" files.

I asked Marcello what the hold up is. His reply is here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=96031.msg536450#msg536450
Summary: bureaucratic delays
Long story: Apparently the current hold up is waiting for Renato (renatohtpc - https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?action=profile;u=265729) to review the code because there are issues with the coding style. It seems that no-one can filter anything in V2.2.x+ because the code isn't formatted correctly, nothing to do with it not working.
Action:
I haven't seen an ETA for the review, but I'm hoping Renato will give us one here. If enough people ask maybe we can even get it finished.Work around:
In the mean time Marcello said he would write up some instructions on how to manually install the new e2guardian from the github code. I haven't seen them yet, but thanks in advance Marcello. -
I'd be happy to kick in a little more bounty for those instructions!!!

Renato helped me a lot with e2guardian port to freebsd(especially on port file descriptions and contents) and I know pfSense project has a lot of points that need his attention.

You posted this while I was PM'ing to Renato :)
This is what I sent to him:
Hi Renato,
I quized Marcello about the delay in the upcoming e2guardian package and he said it's done, it's just waiting for you to review the code. See here https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=96031.msg536450#msg536450
I posted this news here: https://forum.pfsense.org/index.php?topic=87526.msg537585#msg537585
…and was hoping you could post a replay letting us know when the review is likely to be complete.
Many people seem to be very eager to get this, as filtering is unusable in V2.2.x (which is what the two SG-2440's my customer has for filtering their traffic have on them).
I'll post a copy of this message on that same thread so everyone knows what's happening.
Thanks,
Colin =)…I guess we won't get a reply for a few days if he's on holiday this week (according to the "pull" post linked above).

I have seen mention of this elsewhere, but could only find one set of vague instructions. I wasn't confident they were sufficient (or correct), and didn't want to "screw up" my systems. My biggest concern was configuration. There are a LOT of options for DansGuardian, and I wasn't confident I would be able to replicate them correctly in e2Guardian without the GUI (which I'm assuming I won't have without a "proper" pfSense package. It's theoretically possible I could just copy and paste the config file for DansGuardian to e2guardian, but don't know if that would cause issues if settings have changed.
Thanks for the update Marcello, and I'll eagerly await your instructions, and Renato's review ETA.

The code style is all fixed up - I spent a few hours some time ago formatting and handed that to marcello and he committed it into his pull request.

When you take all the PHP/INC files from the pull request and put them in the right places on your pfSense box, and then run a bit of install script (or manually add the E2guardian item into the menus) you will have the E2guardian GUI pages for pfSense. So you will be able to enter stuff in similar boxes to your current Dans Guardian.
Of course you need practice first on a test system - e.g. just make a simple VM on an ordinary PC and mess with that to make sure you know what to do.
It would be even better if Renato can review and commit soon.
