Raw Blame History

About

portzap is designed to allow unprivileged users who are members of the _portzap group to create and update a transient copy of the HardenedBSD ports tree, which can then be installed into the /usr/ports/ directory by root. Once the initial installation is complete, future updates are incremental, which means that portzap will only add, remove or update ports that have changed since the last update.

Usage

Commands

portzap clone
Clones the ports tree into /home/_portzap/ports/.
portzap pull
Pulls updates into /home/_portzap/ports/.
portzap install
Installs /home/_portzap/ports/ into /usr/ports/.

Environment variables

$PORTZAP_PORTS_URL The URL of a git repository.
Defaults to https://git.hardenedbsd.org/hardenedbsd/ports.git.

Install

portzap can be installed through git, or via a port.
The port makes installation, and deinstallation easier.

Port

See 0x1eef/ports/freebsd/hardenedbsd/portzap.

Git

git clone https://git.hardenedbsd.org/0x1eef/portzap.git
cd portzap
cp -R bin /usr/local/
cp -R libexec /usr/local/
pw useradd -n _portzap \
           -c "portzap utility user" \
           -m \
           -s /sbin/nologin
pw groupmod -n _portzap -m <user>
