Angstrom opkg feed config

Angstrom opkg feed config

[Steffen Sledz]

At the moment recipes/angstrom/angstrom-feed-configs.bb creates
also config file for ${MACHINE_ARCH} specific packages. But at
least for the machine arch 'hipox' (i'm not sure for other ones)
the given URI does not exist. This results in an error when
calling 'opkg update':

Collected errors:
 * Failed to download http://www.angstrom-distribution.org/feeds/unstable/ipk/glibc/armv5te/machine/hipox/Packages.gz, error 1

Does this directory intentionally not exist?

Wouldn't it be better to create an empty Packages.gz if there
are no machine arch specific packages?

Feel free to volunteer to support this machine in angstrom, ask on the
angstrom devel mailinglist about it.

I'm not sure if i have the time to handle this. Sorry.

But as mentioned before, wouldn't it be a good idea to create an
empty Packages.gz for all OE known machine types which are not
officially supported by Angstrom just to avoid this error. That
sounds easy to realize.

Feel free to volunteer to do that for all current and future OE
machines, for all current and future angstrom releases[1].

Sorry. I do not have the times to this currently.

But at least i added hipox machine there.
