[cross-posted to the WireGuard mailing list] Hello FreeBSD Ports List, I'm the author of WireGuard [1], a secure network tunnel protocol [2] and a set of implementations of it. It was originally designed for the Linux kernel, but we're now beginning to have implementations for other platforms. Recently, parts of the Internet got excited [3] when we put a Darwin version in Homebrew. The last few days Brian (CC'd) and I have been working on getting an implementation running on FreeBSD, and things are coming along pretty smoothly. I'm not entirely familiar with the ports/pkg adding process, and so I was hoping to find somebody who is part of the FreeBSD community to adopt WireGuard and help maintain packages for it. We currently have packages for many Linux distros [4], but FreeBSD will be the first open source BSD project. There are two packages to add: 1. wireguard-tools, providing wg(8) and wg-quick(8) Runtime dependencies: bash, wireguard-go Buildtime dependencies: gmake, c compiler, libc Build: gmake -C src/tools WITH_WGQUICK=yes Install: gmake -C src/tools PREFIX=/usr/local install URL template: https://git.zx2c4.com/WireGuard/snapshot/WireGuard-VERSION.tar.xz 2. wireguard-go Runtime dependencies: none Buildtime dependencies: gmake, go Build: export GOPATH=$(pwd)/gopath; go get -d; gmake Install: gmake PREFIX=/usr/local install URL template: https://git.zx2c4.com/wireguard-go/snapshot/wireguard-go-VERSION.tar.xz For reference, these two packages in Homebrew look like this: https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/wireguard-tools.rb https://github.com/Homebrew/homebrew-core/blob/master/Formula/wireguard-go.rb And for your horror, I've made a please-dont-pipe-like-that copy-and-paste install script: # curl https://xn--4db.cc/0BwTeeYe | sh That script won't work as-is at the moment, since I haven't yet tagged tarballs with FreeBSD support, but in the coming days, I'll tag one that has this latest FreeBSD code in it. (In the meantime, you can run `# curl https://xn--4db.cc/0BwTeeYe | sh /dev/stdin --master` to get it from git master.) I was hoping that in the time between now and then, we might find somebody willing and interested in packaging this properly. Does this sound fun to anyone?
