Image creation question
opnsense2 opened this issue · 11 comments
Hello, need help.
If I fork repositories and change something in them (for example, the appearance of OpenSense), do I need to make changes to the tools/Makefile file before building the image?
I'm going to make an image from my forked repositories.
Thank you.
It depends on the changes? 😉
basically community support ends when you change something which causes breakage you want resolved via these questions.

I changed the location of the menu items and in some places the fonts in the "core".
Didn't change anything else.
Do I need to replace GITBASE?= https://github.com/opnsense
to my account name? Then it will take my repository "core"?
GITBASE is just for initial fetch. What matters is that /usr/core has YOUR branch checked out and all changes added as commits in order to land in the final image. The build will nag about misconfiguration, but branches can be overridden when required or change build.conf accordingly.

pkg install git
cd /usr
git clone https://github.com/opnsense/tools
cd tools
make update
That is, here it is necessary to clone not only "tools", but also the rest of MY forked repositories (src.git, ports.git, core.git and plugins.git)?
You can replace /usr/core with anything you want, add separate remotes to existing git, check out other branches... Yes feel free to modify GITBASE but as I said you will only clone once per build VM setup and afterwards you have to make manual adjustments anyway.

Where is the build.conf file?
oO
https://github.com/opnsense/tools/blob/master/config/23.1/build.conf
Yes, I just found it
To use my core, I need to add a line there:
core_REPO=https://github.com/my_username/core.git
?
just use "make GITBASE=https://github.com/my_username update". Last time: after initial clone of the repos GITBASE does not matter at all
make GITBASE=https://github.com/my_username update
LUA?= 5.4
OS?= 13.1
PERL?= 5.32
PHP?= 81
PYTHON?= 39
RUBY?= 27
SSL?= openssl
make GITBASE=https://github.com/opnsense2 update
Is that right (build.conf file)?
# make GITBASE=https://github.com/opnsense2 update
is the command to run ;) you CAN edit build.conf and you will have to, but not for the reasons you think I just said
