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.
You can learn how to create own Opkg packages on the Ipkg site.
Packages should install .desktops very much last. This ensures that icons are present when they are used by the .desktops. Reference
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A. Ipkg is no longer actively maintained upstream and there are potential trademark issues with using the Ipkg name
Q. Does opkg have a feature similar to APT pinning?
A. Yes you can define priorities on the architecture field (the second field in a feed definition) in /etc/opkg/arch.conf
