It is perfectly acceptable for an ipk to be a tarball (.tar.gz) instead of an ar archive. 'opkg install' happily works with them. So the 'fix' needs to be in create_repo. j {!!untested!!} #!/bin/sh cd /root/opkg.org/packages/ echo -n >Packages for file in `ls -1 *.ipk *.opk`; do echo $file sum=`md5sum $file | awk '{print $1}'` pkgtype=`file $file | cut -d' ' -f2` case "$pkgtype" in Debian) ar x $file control.tar.gz tar xzf ./control.tar.gz ./control cat control|grep -e "[:alnum:]" >> Packages echo Filename: $file >> Packages echo MD5Sum: $sum >> Packages echo >> Packages echo >> Packages rm -f /root/opkg.org/packages/control.tar.gz /root/opkg.org/packages/control ;; gzip) tar xzf $file ./control.tar.gz tar xzf ./control.tar.gz ./control cat control|grep -e "[:alnum:]" >> Packages echo Filename: $file >> Packages echo MD5Sum: $sum >> Packages echo >> Packages echo >> Packages rm -f /root/opkg.org/packages/control.tar.gz /root/opkg.org/packages/control ;; *) echo "Problem extracting $file" ;; esac done gzip -c /root/opkg.org/packages/Packages >/root/opkg.org/packages/Packages.gz #Upload ftp -v -n ftp.opkg.org < /root/opkg.org/ftp2.input _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
