Re: Ports and package creation Automation
I know that pkg_create command will create packages for the other 3 boxes. if I am going to rebuild all of my ports from scratch, can I somehow tell FreeBSD to create a package all the time and store it in a directory? In addition to what the others have mentioned, you can also use portmaster -g to create the packages. also what file do I modify to tell the other local machines where to find the packages? can this be a sftp url? it would be convenient cause sshd is installed in base. That depends upon how you are going to manage the package installation on the other machines. If you are using pkg_add(1), then you can either use full URLs like: pkg_add ftp://packagemachineipaddress/packagedirectory/www/firefox-3.5.1,1.tbz or you can define either PKG_PATH, PACKAGEROOT, or PACKAGESITE in the environment in which you're going to call pkg_add: env PACKAGEROOT='ftp://packagemachineipaddress/packagedirectory/' pkg_add -r firefox35 You can test your settings with pkg_add -nvr to see from where it is trying to fetch packages. See the pkg_add(1) manpage. Note that if you use pkg_add(1), you are limited to schemes supported by fetch(3) for remote packages. I don't think this includes sftp:// or ftps://, although I think it does support http:// with basic authentication and password-protected ftp. Of course, you could perhaps tunnel your ftp through ssh; or you could turn remote packages into local packages by mounting the remote package directory via Samba or NFS, protected by Kerberos or IPSEC if you wish. If you use portupgrade/portinstall -PP, then you can define PACKAGESITE and PKG_FETCH in the environment, where PKG_FETCH is an sftp-aware client like curll(1) from ftp/curl, with the appropriate flags. See the portupgrade(1) manpage. b. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to freebsd-questions-unsubscr...@freebsd.org

Ports and package creation Automation
hello list, After searching google for 5 minutes I cant find what I am looking for. I know that pkg_create command will create packages for the other 3 boxes. if I am going to rebuild all of my ports from scratch, can I somehow tell FreeBSD to create a package all the time and store it in a directory? also what file do I modify to tell the other local machines where to find the packages? can this be a sftp url? it would be convenient cause sshd is installed in base. I want to install FreeBSD 8 BETA2 i386 on 4 computers, I want to install gnome and firefox, k3b, compiz,openoffice etc... all in all it is like a 975 port count.
