Cacko Ipkg Dependancies
« Reply #15 on: June 20, 2006, 04:35:40 am »
Ali,

You are right ... just half of it.  ... You still need a file named "Packages" in your local feed/directory that ipkg can update from.

eg,
In http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/cacko/pdaXrom/1.1.0/rc10/feed/ there is a file called "Packages" ... http://zaurus.spy.org/feeds/cacko/pdaXrom/...0/feed/Packages

It contains definitions of the packages in that feed ... like

Quote
Package: abiword
Priority: optional
Section: Office
Maintainer: Alexander Chukov <sash@pdaXrom.org>
Architecture: armv5tel
Version: 2.2.7
Depends: fribidi, libglade, gtk2, popt
Description: AbiWord is a free word processing program similar to Microsoft Word. It is suitable for typing papers, letters, reports, memos, and so forth.
Size: 14.0M
...
...

So although you have the ipks in your local directory, if you want ipkg to update the ipk list from such a local feed, you need to have a corresponding "Packages" file in it.

ipkg reads from this file "Packages" instead of thrawling the feed itself, ie faster.

Oh, I understand now.

I looked at the package building script and believed it was to create a single .ipk file.

I didn't understand that it was an index file used for package management.  I was confused by the terminology all along.  =)

..

My next question is:  Can I organize my ipks better?

Now that I have n-1 ipk files, can I put them in different sub-directories and create the "Packages"-index for each sub-directory?

Perhaps I should learn the "Packages"-index format -- maybe even rewrite the script in Ruby to learn it -- and try to do this:

games/
lib/

games/ contains game ipk files.  lib/ contains the dependancies.  I would build the packages-index file in games/ to reference dependancies on ipk files in lib/ .. is this possible?

update will only refresh the Package Manager cache of packages listed on the remote feed
But isn't the file:///path/to/feed/ the right way to tell it where the remote feed is?  I used this setting and 'update' did not refresh the list.

you need the Packages files in your local feed in order for it to resolve dependencies for your local packages. once you got a proper Packages file in your local feed, then update will be able to refresh the cache with data from the local Packages file in your local feed assuming you create an appropriate Packages file for your local feed/files.
What is the "local feed"?  Where is it?

Once I put files into this local feed, how do I install software and have it check dependancies automatically?

Nothing I have been doing so far has worked with dependancy checking.

If you made a local feed you also have to create a "Package" file in this feed.
At the bottom of [a href=\"http://dream.reichholf.net/wiki/Howto:IPK_Pakete_erstellen]this[/url] page you can find the script to create this file.

Das Script dort baut nur IPK Dateien aber macht nicht die Packages Datei. Man braucht da ipkg-make-index

 Glad we are on the same page now.

I think some feeds do have libraries in different directories ... a simple script can generate the file, but you will need to fill in the dependencies as well! ... it might be easier to pull down the original Packages file and have a script process it to scrap out the package definitions and generate a final output.

As to different directories ... yes! I remember now ... in oz, there is like many feeds, each pointing to a different sub directory, one for apps, one for lib etc. That way, if a dependency is needed, ipkg will look through its own ipk lists (that comprises ipk infos from the Packages of each feed that is defined and active in /etc/ipkg.conf) ...

eg
src apps file:///mnt/cf/...my feed.../apps
src libs file:///mnt/cf/...my feed.../libs

and in each directory, the relevant ipks are inside and a single Packages file corresponding to each list of ipks for each directory.

The Packages file and the *.ipks ?

How do you build the Packages-File?

And you've selected only this feed (localsd) in the ipkg.conf file?
