This now makes it easy and predictable to add interfaces to multiple groups. Before this change, the interfaces_groups GUI was sorted by the order that interface groups were added. However, this was not the order that the actual pf rules would then be generated making it unpredictable when adding interfaces to multiple groups. The filter_rules_sort function already took care of the actual pf rule order. I also took care of only marking the filter subsystem dirty when needed. I tested this patch quite a bit on 19.1.8. When updating, users only need to make one change to the interface groups to have them sorted in the GUI. I hope I did not miss anything because this patch is against master. In it’s current state, the patch can be directly applied to 19.1.x or master.
OPNsense GUI and system management
The OPNsense project invites developers to start contributing to the code base. For your own purposes or – even better – to join us in creating the best open source firewall available.
The build process has been designed to make it easy for anyone to build and write code. The main outline of the new codebase is available at:
https://docs.opnsense.org/development/architecture.html
Our aim is to gradually evolve to a new codebase instead of using a big bang approach into something new.
Build tools
To create working software like OPNsense you need the sources and the tools to build it. The build tools for OPNsense are freely available.
Notes on how to build OPNsense can be found in the tools repository:
https://github.com/opnsense/tools
Contribute
You can contribute to the project in many ways, e.g. testing functionality, sending in bug reports or creating pull requests directly via GitHub. Any help is always very welcome!

Every contribution made to the project must be licensed under the same conditions in order to keep OPNsense truly free and accessible for everybody.
Makefile targets
The repository offers a couple of targets that either tie into tools.git build processes or are aimed at fast development.
make package
A package of the current state of the repository can be created using this target. It may require several packages to be installed. The target will try to assist in case of failure, e.g. when a missing file needs to be fetched from an external location.
Several OPTIONS exist to customise the package, e.g.:
- CORE_DEPENDS: a list of required dependencies for the package
- CORE_DEPENDS_ARCH: a list of special -required packages
- CORE_ORIGIN: sets a HardenedBSD compatible package/ports origin
- FLAVOUR: can be set to "OpenSSL" (default) or "LibreSSL"
- CORE_COMMENT: a short description of the package
- CORE_MAINTAINER: email of the package maintainer
- CORE_WWW: web url of the package
- CORE_NAME: sets a package name
Options are passed in the following form:
# make package CORE_NAME=my_new_name
make update
Update will pull the latest commits from the current branch from the upstream repository.
make upgrade
Upgrade will run the package build and replace the currently installed package in the system.
make collect
Fetch changes from the running system for all known files.
make lint
Run serveral syntax checks on the repository. This is recommended before issuing a pull request on GitHub.
make style
Run the PSR2 and PEP8 style checks on MVC PHP code and Python, respectively.
make sweep
Run Linux Kernel cleanfile whitespace sanitiser on all files.
