That said, is there some special configure flags we should be passing in our version of the port to properly stuff glusterfs into /var instead? Your email tends to imply that we should be passing —localstatedir, which we can certainly do no problem, I’m just wondering if that’s your long-term plan. Again, this is our port: https://github.com/freenas/ports/tree/freenas/9-stable/sysutils/glusterfs > > > > The fundamental issue with /usr/local is, again, that /usr/local is read-only on FreeNAS. If there are configuration files that glusterfs expects to be modifiable, they can’t live anywhere in /usr/local, nor of course can any temporary files or log files. We have made special provisions for /etc and /var such that those can be modified, so we basically just need to compile gluster as a “system service” and put it in the system directories (e.g. prefix is /, not /usr/local). > > > > Ah now i get it - "/usr/local" is not a requirement for "GlusterFS" it > is a baggage of using "autotools" when during ./configure if you do > not specify --prefix - so for a standard installation under RPM it is > usually the following flags are used > > # ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var > --libdir=/usr/lib64 > > Since FreeBSD doesn't need "/usr/lib64" you could just use for packages > > # ./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc --localstatedir=/var > Here is an updated version of my port http://people.freebsd.org/~bapt/glusterfs.diff This time it passes poudriere (for those not aware of poudriere it is for FreeBSD a bit like what mock is for fedora but on steroid :)) What is new in there: dependency on bison that I missed the first time, a dependency on libexecinfo (on non FreeBSD 10) and a build dependency on git other build-aux/pkg-version is not happily catching the version Tested on FreeBSD 10 regards, Bapt [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iEYEARECAAYFAlO51xYACgkQ8kTtMUmk6Ex6zACgh+6z/ECBHd2LlHmCFfuuyqTQ wUIAn18OEXA1pwtiHeVrBVA7fyIBf5Ac =s0+V -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
