Set up and maintain a clean pfSense build environment

gistfile1.txt

For those who are not so savy with Jails but do have possibility to run a full VM

# Install a default system
# - No ports -> We'll use portsnap later anyway
# - No packages -> The instructions are requiring fresh ports
#
# Based on: http://devwiki.pfsense.org/DevelopersBootStrapAndDevIso

# Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config
# -> PermitRootLogin = yes
/etc/rc.d/sshd restart

# No you can SSH into the VM as root (locally this is ok)
# And copy-paste ...

# Update our system and the ports tree
freebsd-update fetch install
portsnap fetch extract

# Start to set up the build env...
echo "WITHOUT_X11=yo" >> /etc/make.conf
echo "BATCH=yo" >> /etc/make.conf
mkdir -p /home/pfsense/pfSenseGITREPO /usr/pfSensesrc

# We can use portmaster, but not yet pkgng
# as the build tools of pfsense rely on the old pkg.
cd /usr/ports/ports-mgmt/portmaster
make depends install
rehash

# Now we can use portmaster which is 
# more pleasant to use thant plain ports
portmaster textproc/expat2
portmaster devel/git
portmaster devel/subversion
portmaster sysutils/fastest_cvsup
# For those like me who are not that much of vi-ists:
portmaster editors/nano
rehash

# If installed...
# Don't need this to be installed, has dependencies if
# portmaster wants to update it.
# pkg_delete en-freebsd-doc

# Time to get the pfSense as required to the guide:
cd /home/pfsense && git clone git://github.com/bsdperimeter/pfsense-tools.git tools
cd /home/pfsense && git clone https://github.com/sullrich/pfSense-freesbie2.git freesbie2
cd /home/pfsense/tools/builder_scripts && chmod a+rx *.sh

# Get the source of our current RELENG branch, but don't use csup, it's deprecated
# We use the github mirror, since using SVN from ports might get broken since we will 
# overwrite sqlite3 (SVN depends on sqlite3 port)
cd /usr	&& git clone git://github.com/freebsd/freebsd.git src
cd /usr/src && git checkout -b releng/8.3 origin/releng/8.3

# Now save your environment before it gets "messed up" / contains overlayed ports

--- 

# To update the clean environment
freebsd-update fetch install
portsnap fetch update
portmaster -a

cd /usr/src && git fetch
cd /usr/src && git merge origin/releng/8.3

cd /home/pfsense/tools && git fetch
cd /home/pfsense/tools && git merge origin/master
cd /home/pfsense/freesbie2 && git fetch
cd /home/pfsense/freesbie2 && git merge origin/master
