[WIP] Pkgbase 15.0#15
Conversation
|
This looks promising, thanks a lot! Looking forward to reports from testing. I've been using a custom outer base for years, recompiling it for every update, and it seems very promising to just replace this with a minimal pkgbase set :) When upgrading the script to FreeBSD 15.x, I would probably rename the previous version to |

I took the liberty to refactor and use INNER_CHROOT consistently. But this may be a matter of taste, so happy to revert.

Maybe bloat. I'm personally not using this, unless someone finds it useful, I'm more than happy to remove.

I think we want FreeBSD-kernel-generic only for outer. Will fix that when I get a chance.

Outer gets FreeBSD-set-minimal only (while inner gets FreeBSD-set-base which includes FreeBSD-set-optional), but we:
- want ssh in outer
- use bsdconfig later on, during installation, when we chroot in to outer to configure
We could also remove FreeBSD-bsdconfig after configuring to keep a lean outer.

Basic tests on a vm are successful. It'd be nice if people would test their use cases ( A couple of remarks toward pkgbase in 15.0 are:

Just some notes of mine for testing that I thought would be useful to others. Happy to remove them if we prefer to keep the repo tiny.

Thank you for your efforts so far, this looks promising, and I'm looking forward to seeing more :) |
