problem with packages-8.1 i entered to the site and i see its packages name
changed to packages-8.2-release ...... plz any one can help , i appreciate

http://Http://FTP:// is not a valid link 

Remove the FTP:// part and try again

Hmm I thought this was supposed to be fixed in 2.0.1 but it isn't for me either (also an upgrade). I thought they were switching to a local repo mirror instead? 

Fixed path to FreeBSD packages repo for 8.1

Anyway you need to use the FreeBSD ftp archive for 8.1 to ensure compatibilty:

Code:

pkg_add -r ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/All/python-2.6,2.tbz

thank you for replying .. but once i press on pkg_add -r python
see this msg

pkg_add -r python
Error: Unable to get http://ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/python.tbz: File unavailable (e.g., file not found, no access)
pkg_add: unable to fetch 'http://ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/python.tbz' by URL

i entered to this website and i see that instead packages-8.1-release it was packages-8.2-release ,, so i guess i must updates the sources in pfsense , but i dont know how to do that ,,,,,,,

[stephenw10]

You need to specify the complete URL because it has changed like I outlined above.

Alternatively you can change the variable that pfSense uses to know where to look. I can't remember off hand what that is though. Hold on....

OK. First run:

Code:

setenv PACKAGESITE "ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/ports/i386/packages-8.1-release/Latest/"

Then you can load packages as normal: pkg_add -r python

still can't add the packages :s.. im tryng to fetch them manual ,,,and i downloaded the packages but also the rpm command not found :s how to install the rpm packages also ......

[marcelloc]

Use the same pkg_add to install downloaded packages, just point to filesystem

pkg_add /path-to-package

    import urlgrabber as _urlgrabber
  File "/root/urlgrabber-3.9.1/urlgrabber/__init__.py", line 54, in <module>
    from grabber import urlgrab, urlopen, urlread
ImportError: No module named grabber

[afamnu]

any help to install the urlgrabber ..??

[stephenw10]

What are you trying to accomplish here?

Steve

[afamnu]

python setup.py bdist_rpm     <====this command

[stephenw10]

Yes, but what does that python script do?

Where did you get it?

Steve

[afamnu]

i do   cd urlgrabber-3.9.1
and then
python setup.py bdist_rpm

after that this error appearing

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "setup.py", line 3, in <module>
    import urlgrabber as _urlgrabber
  File "/root/urlgrabber-3.9.1/urlgrabber/__init__.py", line 54, in <module>
    from grabber import urlgrab, urlopen, urlread
ImportError: No module named grabber

Hmmm, well I can't comment on python script. Wrong python version perhaps?
Why are you trying to run URLGrabber on your firewall? It seems unwise.
