So I'm compiling all these packages and making ipks from them, but I can only create the old tar gzipped version of the ipk.
I can't seem to figure out, how, once you have the control.tar.gz debian-binary and data.tar.gz, do you combine them into an ar archive with an ipk ext. Can someone give me the correct syntax? |

I don't need the whole procedure, I already made a shell script, just need the ar command that archives control.tar.gz data.tar.gz and debian-binary in one file. I've tried many combinations, but keep getting errors. |

If you install from the feeds with a web connection... it will pick up the proper python depends. That said... the ipkg-build script doesn't need python... so I suppose you could install it with --force-depends. Greg |

I highly doubt this, because looking in the control file, it lists the depends as "python" among others. There is no "python_XXXX.ipk" in the feeds, so it can't pick it up. But if it doesn't need it, I'll force-depends, thanks.

Hi
If all you are looking for is the ar line to create the .ipk, Meanie has given it to you. All these scripts which use perl etc add unnecessary complication to something which is quite simple. Copy control and debian-binary into /tmp Create /tmp/hole and below that recreate the relevant directory structure which mirrors the Z and copy the binaries etc to the relevant parts of it cd /tmp tar -cvzf ./control.tar.gz ./control cd hole tar -cvzf ../data.tar.gz . cd ../ ar -q (name_of_ipk).ipk ./control.tar.gz ./data.tar.gz ./debian-binary I assume ipkg can cope with ar created .ipks, I have never tried it. The version supplied with the standard Sharp ROM is pretty c**p and has enough trouble with some tar zipped ones. regards Melee |
