Hi, I'm writing a book on jails and am looking for BCP. I'd like to present either "This is the approved solution and should work" or "these are the gotchas with any of these, choose your pain." Folks want base jails to include packages, but also want to install additional packages--which won't happen if /usr/local is mounted read-only in the base jail. Trawling around the Net I see a couple options. Both involve the primary jail using a different package repo. The overlay jail uses the standard package repo. 1) primary jail uses a repo with PREFIX=/usr/pkg or /opt. Works in my simple use cases once I set ldconfig directories in rc.conf, but I'm told programs like pkgconfig can go sideways. 2) base jail repo uses with PREFIX=/. Utterly violates separation of base and pkg, but everything should find everything out of the box. Again, seems to work in my wimpy use cases. Is there an option that should work? Or is a matter of choosing between horrors? Thanks, ==ml -- Michael W.
