Title: How-to: Manually build and update the GUI
Post by: interfaSys on February 02, 2016, 05:44:10 PM

This is for people maintaining their ports themselves and who wish to be able to manually update the GUI without overwriting anything else.

WARNING: That will only work from 16.1.7 as you need an updated makefile in /usr/core

Get the source code

Code Select

# pkg install git gettext-tools
# cd /usr
# rm -rf src ports
# git clone https://github.com/opnsense/ports
# git clone https://github.com/opnsense/core

Updating

Update all ports

Code Select

# cd /usr/ports
# git checkout 16.1.8

Use the latest tagged release instead of 16.1.8.
Then update all your ports the way you usually do it. Per example with portmaster it would be

Code Select

# portmaster -a

Install the updated OPNsense GUI.

Code Select

# cd /usr/core
# git checkout 16.1.8
# make package
# pkg add -f opnsense-16.1.8.txz

Update base and kernel

Code Select

# opensense-update -bkr 16.1.8

Reboot

Small correction: installation should be "pkg add -f 16.1.1/All/opnsense-16.1.1.txz"

Updated the OP since it's now much simpler for people who don't need to create images.
