Title: Feed installation
Post by: deniscallies on October 25, 2004, 09:33:06 am

Hello,

today my SD Card broke  

1: now my question: is it possible to install a complete feed (e.g. unstable)
    with one call of ipkg? Or do i have to install every package by hand?

2: what ipkg do i need for libXmuu.so.1 ? I cannot start my X !

Thank you!

Denis

If you know all of the ipks & their dependencies and don't need the Packages file, you can put them in a directory and run

Code: [Select]

ipkg install -d /mnt/card  /where-ever-you-put-them/*.ipk
There may be more subtle/smarter ways but I've used this method in the past.

Cheers,
Jerry

Try:

Code: [Select]

ipkg install $(ipkg list | cut -d" " -f1)That will install everything that 'ipkg list' shows you.

I knew there must be smarter ways to do this  
Nice work rgrep.

hello all,

hope you can help me,
i have formated my sd card to
140 mb partition 1 to vFat for flashing called /dev/mmcda1
the rest of the 1 GB  sd card is partition 2 Linux called /dev/mmcda2

now i would like to install feed packages to my card ive done following without success
mount /dev/mmcda2 /mnt/card
ipkg install -d /mnt/card /mnt/card/feed/mypackages.ipk
also i have tried
ipkg-install -d /mnt/card /mnt/card/feed/mypackages.ipk
all seems not to work

when i do following with package manager
selecting the /mnt/card folder for install destination and then open local package
it installs me the package to my card.
but thats weird cause i just could install it one by one.

By the way my Z is a C1000 with RC12.

Greetings
