[PC-BSD Pbi-dev] Two new modules

[Jesse Smith]

Kris,

I think I made the mistake of putting the /bin/bash command at the top
of all the pbi.conf files. Sorry, it's a side effect of my Linux
experience. (I know, I know, "boooo!") I'll make sure it's /bin/sh from
now on.

Jesse

I've added the pgpin module now, with some corrections:

http://trac.pcbsd.org/browser/pbibuild/modules/security/pgpin

First, the pbi.conf file had a #!/bin/bash at the top, needs to be #!/bin/sh

Next, copy-files doesn't need to have anything in it right now. All the 
files of the target port are automatically copied into the PBI, so you 
also don't need to copy the binary file into overlay-dir/bin.

Lastly in the kmenu-dir/pgpin file, set these options when its a 
command-line app only:

ExeNoDesktop: 1
ExeNoMenu: 1
ExeNoCrashHandler: 1

That'll disable creating any desktop / menu GUI icons, and turn off the 
crash handling program which cli apps don't need. The necessary wrapper 
scripts will still get created though.

The rest looks good though!

PS. Working on the security/wipe module now, will add it soon.
