Look at build [Build/Requirements]. Some of those programs you can build with the help of contrib/prepare-deps scripts. Both master and slave nodes most likely will require [CI/Daemontools]-like solution also, but you should be able to build it by BASS build system itself and install using it in [Build/skelenv]. Currently a heavy work in progress, especially related to CI-part of the project (package building/management is pretty steady now). $ git clone git://git.cypherpunks.su/bass.git $ cd bass/contrib/prepare-deps $ ./dl $ ./do $ PATH="$(realpath local/bin):$(realpath local/go/bin):$PATH" $ cd ../../build $ echo SKELBINS=/tmp/skelbins >rc $ export BASS_RC=$(realpath rc) $ pkg/mk-arch $ redo pkg/FreeBSD-amd64-13.2-RELEASE/shells/zsh-5.9 $ cd /tmp $ mkdir myskelenv $ cd myskelenv $ /path/to/bass/build/bin/mk-skelenv $ /path/to/bass/build/bin/pkg-inst shells/zsh-5.9 $ . ./rc $ zsh You can also use anongit@master.git.stargrave.org:cypherpunks.su/bass.git anongit@slave.git.stargrave.org:cypherpunks.su/bass.git anongit@master.git.cypherpunks.su:cypherpunks.su/bass.git anongit@slave.git.cypherpunks.su:cypherpunks.su/bass.git git://git.stargrave.org/bass.git git://y.git.stargrave.org/bass.git git://y.git.cypherpunks.su/bass.git URLs instead.
