Title: Installation package not supplied by OPNsense
Post by: cmonty14 on April 11, 2022, 12:45:30 AM
Hello,
I want to install package inxi.
This package is supplied by port sysutils.

According to documentation (https://docs.opnsense.org/manual/software_included.html#the-ports-tree) I have executed the following steps:

Make install is now running for +12hrs, and I don't understand why it takes so much time for compiling a package with a few kB.

Please advise the correct procedure for installation of package inxi.
