Building NanoBSD with ports and packages

[Jordan Coleman-2]

Can anyone suggest a way to pre-install ports in a NanoBSD system at  
build time?  Ideally, I'd like to be able to add a customize_cmd to  
my NanoBSD configuration file so that the finished disk images can be  
made to include anything in ports.

Suggestions?

Thanks.

Just add to your nanobsd.conf:

NANO_CUSTOMIZE="/path/to/localfiles"

Place packages to /path/to/Pkg subdirectory.

Here comes the script "localfiles":

#!/bin/sh -e

# save pointer to packages, there should be $src/Pkg directory
# with packages ready to install
src=$(dirname `realpath $0`)
pkgs="$src/Pkg"

# go to Nano world
cd "$NANO_WORLDDIR"

# start from the beginning
dirs="usr/local tmp/Pkg var/db/pkg"
rm -rf $dirs
mkdir $dirs

trap "umount $pkgs" SIGHUP SIGINT SIGTERM
mount_nullfs -o ro "$pkgs" tmp/Pkg
chroot "$NANO_WORLDDIR" sh -c "cd /tmp/Pkg && pkg_add -vF *"
umount "$pkgs"
rmdir tmp/Pkg

Hello,

Try to use TinyBSD in -current, it can do it for you.

Please take a look at:

Okay, neat.  Looks like it'll do the trick.  This is pretty close to  
(but better thought-out than) the approach I had been thinking about.

I'm wondering, is it possible/practical/safe to do port "make  
install"s inside the chroot to avoid having to have pre-built  
packages?  Is there a simpler way?

Thanks.

I don't have first-hand experience with NanoBSD but jails did
miracles with FreeSBIE. It is definitely worth a try as long as
your target machine uses the same architecture as your host
(avoid compiling mplayer with optimized flags on an AMD64
if your target is a i486, for instance...)

I prefer to keep pre-built packages. It takes less time to rebuild Nano
image then. And makes software behavour more stable.
And takes less space in the NANO_WORLDDIR. You can always build
a port outside of Nano world and obtain a package using 'pkg_create -b'.

You can create packages from your ports tree by going into your desire ports eg.
/usr/ports/editor/nano
make install package-recursive

and the packages will be placed into
1. Current directory or
2. /usr/ports/packages if you create the directory before hand
(recommended). All the files will be in /usr/ports/packages/All/

Then you got prebuilt packages that you can get installed at build
time using Eugen's script. or the one from
http://www.pean.org/files/uchman.conf
its at the end, looks like its from phk

I haven't tried this yet, but i will be soon. Good luck

Cheers
David
