Hey all,
The Splunk universal forwarder for FreeBSD is distributed as a package
tarball that you can use `pkg add` on. I'm in a position where I'd
like to create a port of the package so that I can automate certain
tasks.
Reverse engineer a package? I think that will violate the NDA you
signed. ;-)
Really. Unless the package is simply a wrapper of a binary blob. You'll
need to *build* the port, as part of the package creation process.
That is, unless I've *completely* misunderstood your intent here. :-)
Being a ports newb, I'm not sure how to properly create a port from a
pre-built package. Does anyone have any non-xkcd pointers[1]?
