Well, it took a year and a half, but I finally got around to this. ;-) I did an upgrade from ubuntu 8.04 to ubuntu 8.10. Not a huge switch, but I reinstalled openpkg from scratch, so it's about the same as changing platforms.
I followed the instructions from Thomas and it pretty much worked. The only thing I had to do was capture the script and run a sed to convert the platform parts of package names to use the new platform. Maybe the scripts could be generated to use a variable for this, making the process even more trivial? Even easier would be specifying a target architecture for the script. Of course, this is just for binary package matching. I haven't done anything for configuration related data yet. -Dave On Fri, Mar 16, 2007 at 3:26 PM, David Stenglein <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Thomas, > > Thanks very much for all of the infomation.
