version & architechture checks

[ColdFultonBSD]

Installation script does not stop when version & architecture mis-match; (ie FreeBSD:11:armv6 like NetGate SG-1000)

[gozoinks]

How should the script detect and handle this?

[jmcphail]

Someone should donate a SG-1000 for us to test. https://netgate.com/products/sg-1000.html

Check CLI shell environment variables: like from tcsh, "version tcsh 6.18.01 (Astron) 2012-02-14 (arm32-acorn-FreeBSD) options wide,nls,dl,al,kan,sm,rh,color,filec"

If you'll need something compiled, then if should prompt for go ahead. Compiling on the ARM platforms burns up SD cards.

This is an edge case for your script. If you already know what Architectures it doesn't work; say so; conversely, If you know what has been tested on, say that AMD64, i386, raspberry, begalbone, etc;

Ask for others to test on different processors....

This is the issue line, $FREEBSD_PACKAGE_URL

I only have this: "

!/bin/sh

PKG="/usr/local/etc/pkg.conf" ABI=$(awk ' {if ((x=index($1,"=")) > 0) {printf "%s ", substr($1,x+1)}}' $PKG) " The thought was to: " FREEBSD_PACKAGE_URL="https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}:${OS_ARCH}/latest/All/" " But only need the ABI string from pkg.conf, but

pkg.conf is deprecated | forums.freebsd.orgforums.freebsd.org/threads/43506/

What is the output of the following commands on your system: uname -r and uname -m

[ColdFultonBSD]

[2.4.0-BETA][admin@fuzzball]/root: uname -r 11.0-RELEASE-p6 [2.4.0-BETA][admin@fuzzball]/root: uname -m arm [2.4.0-BETA][admin@fuzzball]/root: cat /usr/local/etc/pkg.conf ABI=FreeBSD:11:armv6 ALTABI=freebsd:11:32:el:eabi:hardfp

[jmcphail]

For testing, why not just set the BSD package URL to the following: FREEBSD_PACKAGE_URL="https://pkg.freebsd.org/FreeBSD:11:armv6/latest/All/"

Mind you, with running BSD 11 and 2.4 BETA, the package versions are likely different, you should check each of the package numbers first and update the script before running it.

[ColdFultonBSD]

I checked a couple of packages; they are there, but not same URL method....

https://pkg.freebsd.org says FreeBSD:11:armv6 is Tier-2 support package set

The workaround is to use the FreeBSD-11 packages via the following trick: env ABI=freebsd:11:armv6 pkg bootstrap

Modifying the script to kludge it to work: / ABI="freebsd:10:x86:32" if [ "expr \"$MACHTYPE\" : \"armv6\"" == "0" ]; then ABI="FreeBSD:11:armv6" fi FREEBSD_PACKAGE_URL="https://pkg.freebsd.org/${ABI}/latest/All/" /

I'd already done that before I'd know about the URL path differences; The packages didn't fetch;

I already have UniFi & Domotz Pro running on a Raspberry Pi B 2 under 2016-11-25-raspbian-jessie;

But I take your point; The SG-1000 running a beta version of pfSense; Don't want to hose the package tree.

I'll spin up a FreeBSD Pi image & give it a go;

Sounds like a cool project, interested to see how it turns out and will look into it a bit more myself.
