pfSense

Hey guys, I noticed 3 days ago there was a commit 053182648b676676f9e631eca51c3e5a678344e9 by Renato that restricts the package manager to the official repository.

As you may know we have been relying on being able to use our own repository for our product at dnsthingy.com which is being used by many pfSense customers.

I understand you want to lock down your platform, and as you own it I'm not going to complain, but I want to see what the best path forward is going to be. The way I see it there are 3 basic options.

1. If you would accept, I can contribute a patch for pfSense that has an official method of adding 3rd party repositories from the web UI.

2. Again if you'd be willing to accept, we could contribute our package to pfSense for inclusion in the official repository.

3. We can require our customers to use the command line only for our product installation and treat it as a regular freebsd package.

I'd prefer either 1 or 2, but if you could let me know what option you'd prefer us to take so that we can continue to work with the pfSense community in offering our service.

Thank you.
