I have recently setup a FreeBSD jumpstart server to install using PXE. I would like to add some additional third-party applications as part of the install. The last page of the FreeBSD jumpstart guide describes how to make a custom package but it looks like it has to be built from the ports tree. The applications that I am trying to install are heavily customized and built from source.
Would it be best to create a package of the compiled sources? Can a package be built if it is not a port? Do I need to create a custom port first AND THEN create a package? or.. Should I create a small package with pre and post install scripts that install the compiled source files via NFS as well as configure any system settings? My aim is to Jumpstart my server and have it running 100% operational by the end of the install process with no human interaction. Thanks! -CM _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
