I don’t know if it helps you but i’ve been packing base since FreeBSD 10.0:
# pkg info | grep freebsd
freebsd-base-10.1 FreeBSD Base Package
freebsd-kernel-10.1 FreeBSD Kernel Package
My purpose was create a simple way to deploy updates to my customers with both
a custom base and kernel. The way i’m doing is quite simple, but it fits what i
need.
I didn’t split base system, but the concept would be the same. First i use a
“release" machine to build world after each update. Then i just point to
installworld on a different place, like tmp: make installworld
DESTDIR=/tmp/world.
Then i compress everything in /tmp/world as freebsd-base.tar.gz.
My port is like this:
PORTNAME= freebsd-base
PORTVERSION= 10.1
CATEGORIES= custom
MASTER_SITES= #
DISTFILES= #
EXTRACT_ONLY= # NONE
MAINTAINER= jm...@freebsdbrasil.com.br
COMMENT= FreeBSD Base Package
NO_MTREE= yes
SUB_FILES= pkg-install
NO_BUILD= yes
NO_WRKSUBDIR= yes
do-install:
mkdir -p ${STAGEDIR}${DATADIR}
@${CP} -r ${FILESDIR}/versions ${STAGEDIR}${DATADIR}/
post-install:
${SH} ${PKGINSTALL} ${PKGNAME} POST-INSTALL
.include <bsd.port.mk>
My pkg-plist:
%%DATADIR%%/versions/freebsd-base.sh
%%DATADIR%%/versions/freebsd-base.tar.gz
@dirrmtry %%DATADIR%%/versions
@dirrmtry %%DATADIR%%
In my files dir i have pkg-install.in to PKGINSTALL script execution:
#!/bin/sh
if [ $2 = "POST-INSTALL" ]; then
for i in `ls %%DATADIR%%/versions/*.sh` ; do
sh $i
done
fi
And freebsd-base.sh contents:
#!/bin/sh
SHAREDIR=/usr/local/share/freebsd-base
chflags -R nosunlink,noschg /usr/bin /usr/games /usr/include
/usr/lib* /usr/sbin /usr/share /lib /bin /sbin /lib /libexec /rescue >
/dev/null 2>&1
tar zxfvp ${SHAREDIR}/versions/freebsd-base.tar.gz -C / >
/dev/null 2>&1
rm ${SHAREDIR}/versions/freebsd-base.tar.gz > /dev/null 2>&1
And finally i add freebsd-base.tar.gz generated on my “release machine” in my
versions directory.
Then just build freebsd-base package using poudriere and make it available for
who is using your repository.
As i said, it's quite simple, but works. Maybe the concept would be used by pkg
team. Bryan, if there is something i can help let me know.
