Title: Ipk Frontend With Scripts
Post by: linux2.6@embled on November 28, 2005, 02:41:50 pm

CONTEXT:
i want to make a frontend to the ipk packadge management that is not perfect under my system because:
-it doesn;t work very well
-there is soo much locations and confusions between the programs that want to install the ipk into /dev/shm or /progfs or /dev/loop/...
-not enough user-friendly

so mabe i'll need to rewrite the ipk package management...
 
QUESTIONS:
-is there already good ipk manager/frontend under qtopia?
-is there any easely programable api such as Xdialog under qtopia?

Are you using one of the Sharp 'ROM's?

If so, you might consider upgrading to the more advanced version of ipkg which is used in OpenZaurus. It's has a command line, but is also a library so your programs can use it directly. It also has lots more features & functionality than the old Sharp script based ones.
