Hi guys,

you may know that OpenMoko Inc. has started to work on improving and enhancing 
our favourite package management system (i***). A list of planned features is 
@ http://wiki.openmoko.org/wiki/Opkg and there is now a mailing list for the 
development @ http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/opkg-devel

I think this is a good chance to fix some of the problems that were due to 
i*** and I want to invite your to participate, if you're interested.

Cheers,

Mickey.

Can that be made available through gmane?

I already added opkg-ipkg-compat.bb that should provide drop-in
compatibility between opkg and ipkg.
The plan for angstrom 2008 is to have opkg and deb support and no ipkg
support.

regards,

Koen

opkg

[Phillip Warren]

Hi, I'm currently working on the pyro branch (2.3.4) and have a need
to support opkg list-upgradable; however, when I execute opkg
list-upgradable, I receive the following error:

Collected errors:
 * opkg_list_upgradable_cmd: list-upgradable command not available
with external solver enabled

The pyro opkg version is:
~# opkg --version
opkg version 0.3.4 (libsolv 0.6.26)

What is the simplest way to enable the list-upgradeable option for opkg?

1. Write a .bbappend to apply the patch to the 0.3.4 source that
enables this functionality? Where might I locate this patch?
2. Fast-forward opkg 0.3.4 to a newer version? What's the approved way
to do this within the yocto environment?

Thanks!
Phillip Warren

usually this is ok and upstreamable, but may not be always possible if
change is quite intrusive
you might look into opkg git here
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/opkg

particularly this commit
http://git.yoctoproject.org/cgit/cgit.cgi/opkg/commit/?id=cc624806a6179c2d3d7b3eec4260e50ab0653c5d

be aware that it looks like it might need some other commits too.

sometimes this might be fine, we wont accept it upstream without a
solid reasoning but it could serve your
purpose and you can maintain it in your local project. Although be
aware that it has not been integrated with
older versions of yocto so there could be loose ends.
