No, it's perfectly possible to build both opkg and rpm, which is what I'm currently doing. When doing that the DISTRO.conf does need to make a decision on what to support for things like packagekit. > Some options: > > 1) Apply the patch as-is.

This is rather > a special case compared to other recipes. 1) will let you end up with packagekit_1.0.ipk that only supports RPM 2) Is what we would really want, but I don't think packagekit supports that :( So that leaves 3, which makes it a clear DISTRO decision, like it should be. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.5 (Darwin) Comment: GPGTools - http://gpgtools.org iD8DBQFSlx+uMkyGM64RGpERAklsAJ0dtXhGERpNu+IizQN05XNliTk50wCfR8nl xGpfq7tjqZPsx1V0hSYW5qs= =1or8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
