opkg vs dpkg/rpm

["l.bolognini@tiscali.it" <l.bolognini@tiscali.it>]

Hi all,
I'm working on a beagleboard.
I'm wondering if there is a 
quick 
way to change package manager from opkg to dpkg or to rpm, both 
on the 
host and on the target.
I think that including dpkg package in, 
for 
example, arago-console-image is not enough because all packages 
are 
built with ipkg/opkg.
Moreover the directory /usr/lib/opkg/info 
with 
all postinst/prerm scripts could not be used anymore.

I report a 
small 
extract from openembedded manual:
"The package_write task is 

responsible for taking each packages subdirectory and creating any 

actual
installation package, such as .ipk, .deb or .rpm. Currently .
ipk 
is the only fully supported packing
format although .deb packages 
are 
being actively worked on."

Has anyone tried a .deb or .rpm based 

rootfs (built with oe/bitbake) on beagleboard or in another target?



Thanks for your attention,
best regards,
Luca
