Why not just use a standard format like the Debian .deb instead of inventing a custom format? A Debian .deb is nothing more than a tar.gz with some meta data (version number/description/dependencies/conflicts) which can be used to ensure you can only install the upgrade on compatible hw, and 4 scripts: - preinst, which runs before installation - posting, which runs after installation - prerm, which runs before removal (/upgrade) - postrm, which runs after removal (/upgrade) Busybox contains a dpkg implementation. I'm using such a setup, where the .deb will extract into something like /tmp/upgrade and the postinst script will copy the individual files to the correct mtd partitions. Alternatively you could use ipkg/opkg. -- Bye, Peter Korsgaard _______________________________________________ openwrt-devel mailing list openwrt-devel@lists.openwrt.org https://lists.openwrt.org/mailman/listinfo/openwrt-devel
