Hi,

I'm looking for package management for my embedded linux systems
(yocto on armv7 iMX6Q)


I'm looking for the following features:

(a) Install & remove a package
(b) Install packages and its dependencies
(c) Install a package with conflicts, such that the conflicting
package is force removed
(d) A local location with packages should serve as a package source
(e) Remote server package (http file server based)
(f) List of my packages installed
(g) List of my packages not installed but available on the http file server
(h) List of my packages that have updates (new version)
(i) To be able to manage packages for multiple architectures (eg. rpm
can produce packages for multiple architectures using one spec file)


The above features will be invoked by the application GUI.
Any suggestions: which package management solution would answer all
the above use cases?



(e) I use smart + RPM. I have a remote package server setup via this in local.conf

FEED_DEPLOYDIR_BASE_URI = "http://packages.foo.bar"

Then I'm rsyncing the files up to the server after a bitbake package-index.

Then smart update / search / install

That seems to work well in my testing.

Regards,

Alex
