Hello Kubilay,
I'm pretty busy ATM. But if you haven't already, *do* read:
https://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/porters-handbook/
it addresses the questions you've asked fairly well.
As to rc(5), and config related files in ${PREFIX}/etc
there are a good number of working examples in net-mgmt, dns,
sysutils, and perhaps www, to draw from.
Hope this helps!
I already know the porters handbook, but i appreciate the pointer. Every
time i read it, i become more familiar with it :)
I believe my general purpose question, was not such a good idea. More
specific i have a bunch of questions. The installations guide
(https://github.com/gitlabhq/gitlab-recipes/blob/master/install/freebsd/freebsd-10.md)
defines a number of packages to install. But i don't believe this should
be dependencies.
With the following packages i have problems to figure out if they are
really needed:
- sudo
- bash
- icu
- cmake
- pkgconf
- logrotate
- postgresql94-server
- postfix
- nginx
I don't think that postgresql and nginx should be either a run or a
build-dependency. The admin of the server should decide, which webserver
he wants to run.
While postgresql seems mandatory, it's not clear which version is
needed. At the moment i used USES= pgsql.
Here a response by a user would save much time. Otherwise i just have to
try every combination. I've already set up a jail for this - but maybe
somebody has an idea.
Next question: should "gem install bundler --no-ri --no-rdoc" be done by
port-installation? Or not? Or with an rc-script for initialization?
The port requires an git-user and some directory under /home/git. Should
the port add this?
How to handle database initialization? rc-script or manual?
So - any advice or experience is helpful.
Hi Torsten,
I know that a couple of people have looked at creating a gitlab port in the
past, and possibly in progress. It might worthwhile catching up with them ..
I've tried to find some others, but without success. It seems that there
was a port which is no longer available :/
Try Johannes (xmj) who's also on IRC (freenode/efnet), who should be able to at
least point you in the right direction and catch you up on his experience with
Gitlab.
Thanks for the pointer, i've emailed him some minutes ago. :)
Thanks for getting involved!
Thanks for your help!
Greetings,
Torsten
