That said, is there some special configure flags we should be passing in our version of the port to properly stuff glusterfs into /var instead?  Your email tends to imply that we should be passing —localstatedir, which we can certainly do no problem, I’m just wondering if that’s your long-term plan.  Again, this is our port:  https://github.com/freenas/ports/tree/freenas/9-stable/sysutils/glusterfs

If there are configuration files that glusterfs expects to be modifiable, they can’t live anywhere in /usr/local, nor of course can any temporary files or log files.  We have made special provisions for /etc and /var such that those can be modified, so we basically just need to compile gluster as a “system service” and put it in the system directories (e.g. prefix is /, not /usr/local).

Here is an updated version of my port
http://people.freebsd.org/~bapt/glusterfs.diff

This time it passes poudriere (for those not aware of poudriere it is for
FreeBSD a bit like what mock is for fedora but on steroid :))

What is new in there: dependency on bison that I missed the first time, a
dependency on libexecinfo (on non FreeBSD 10) and a build dependency on git
other build-aux/pkg-version is not happily catching the version

Tested on FreeBSD 10

Bapt
