Then it's no need to make packages at all. > With the "OpenWrt" method you have: * the packages (.ipkg) built for all the Buildroot software you selected with menuconfig * AND a rootfs with all these packages pre-installed (ready to test your configuration) After that you can upload your packages to your (web)server and share/use them, or directly flash the rootfs. What I was pointing in my email is that you probably don't need to add your "" entry in Buildroot menuconfig. Your option to choose the package type should be enough: if the user choose to build packages, then you can build them for all the selected software. > > This is where I lost it. it's up to the end user to do this step.

Why not build all software as packages when the user want it and as "builtin" in the other case ? > > Feel free to to this and I'd be happy if there was a patch to choose > this method but no way am I going to make this the only one.

If you need help to integrate ipkg, I have already some modifications of Buildroot to share with you, before publishing them. Julien
