3.5.1 package manager ??

[lardman]

Is there a script out there somewhere which automagically creates a Packages file from a dir of ipks. That would be quite useful and would also alleviate some of these troubles until the package manger can be patched.

The script you are looking for is ipkg-make-index.

Or you could just set up the feed and it will download and install automatically. ;-)

3.5.1 package manager does not seem to operate properly. It shows installed packages. However attempts to use the configure option and create a feed do not seem to succeed. No feed entry is created

So tell me, how do you set up a feed to install a library to satisfy a dependency to install a package manager to replace the one that doesn't let you set up a feed? Riddle me that...

Meanwhile, I managed to get opie-aqpkg installed but it still doesn't show my local packages (the ones on my SD card). So I'm one of the people who has been totally unable to install (and use) any application under OZ 3.5.1 so far.

Edit /etc/ipkg.conf by hand and add an appropriate 'src' line.
