Can't figure how to update my system to my own built sets

[Cubox]

Hi!

I am trying to install my freshly built sets to my system, while using the build system you guys provide.

I have built the required sets (using make sets in the tools repo), and left with the files in /usr/local/opnsense/build/path
I cannot figure how to simply apply those updates to my system, using opnsense-update.
I was able to make it install my base/kernel by using the -l option, and throwing various options until it did apply my base/kernel, but I cannot figure how to make it use my packages.
Either using -p will make pkg fetch packages online, -U extracts the packages, but -P does nothing.
All of this is while using the -l option.

Assuming I have my sets in /usr/local/opnsense/build/18.7/sets, how can I apply them and force an update using my own binaries? (base+kernel+packages(including ports and plugins))

Thanks

Hi,

Let me get back to own packages a bit later... here are the kernel and base updates:

# opnsense-update -i -k -b -r RELEASENAME -l /path/to/sets/directory

-i => insecure, no signature checking, fails otherwise

-k => update kernel

-b => update base

-r RELEASENAME => the version number of the release you built, e.g. if you had kernel-18.7.4_1-amd64.txz it's 18.7.4_1 as the rest is reassembled and figured out from opnsense-update

-l /path/to/sets/directory => that's a lower L for local directory

and if that worked fine...

# reboot

Packages are a bit more complicated. There is a major update sequence, but it has a drawback... more on this later if the base/kernel is working for you.


Cheers,
Franco

Thanks franco for the answer, but base and kernel I figured the command myself (with difficulty)
It's the packages that's the problem, I would love your help on that
