Opkg is a lightweight package management system based on Ipkg.
A mailing list for discussion is available here: http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/opkg-devel
Source code is available in the subversion repository: http://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/target/opkg/. The repository can also be viewed online.
This is a list of features that have been completed. Mostly this is a list of changes from Ipkg.
The following ipkg patches have been applied:
These are features either under development or planned for inclusion before the next release.
This is a list of possible issues or known bugs.
It looks like, in some cases, Opkg will return an error code if something goes wrong. Here's a list that I pulled from the error.h file:
Configuration Errors:
Package Errors
Install Errors
NOTE: I had a problem where I was trying to manually install a package that had dependencies. The dependencies had a bad signature (actually, my signature files were bad). Instead of returning 17 because of the bad signature, it returned 14 because of a dependency problem. So if you get a 14, try installing that package by itself and see what you get. --Jtickle 18:16, 23 July 2008 (EST) |
Q. What version of Ipkg is Opkg based on?
A. It is based on the ipkg-0.99.163 tarball
Q. Why "fork" and rename Ipkg?
A. Ipkg is no longer actively maintained upstream and there are potential trademark issues with using the Ipkg name
