[200/300] oPKG v0.1.8 - Updated on 21st Feb

The idea is fine, but it would be nice if you could add some sort of CSI-like app manager to the web GUI. Something to enable or disable autostart, to manually start or stop one application or just to check if a certain app is running or not. I'm sure there are command line ways to do this, but that's not that user friendly...

The current interface was done by porting the existing cgi version to php to make it work.
If a application has not been installed, there will not be a delete option for the package. If installed, vice versa.

You mean the autostart for some of the applications like amule?. if yes, I'll try to implement it.

Yeah, I mean something like in CSI. An autostart setting to enable/disable Apps to automatically start when starting up the Popcorn, something telling me if one App is currently running or not (currently you can just know if one App is installed or not, but you don't know if it's currently running) and some buttons to manually start or stop Apps.

But in i-pkg, there is no startup of applications involved. It is just like a add/remove programs interface like windows. For example, most of the applications listed in i-pkg doesn't require any daemon startup, except few like inetd, telnetd, ftpd & amuled. I'll find a way to control the startup of those.

I went over some of the installs other players are doing.. what they do for apps that would end up deleted on a reboot is on boot they copy over the files from that location to the drive (to keep up to date with player files) and then symlink the new location so it gives you a perm install location without messing with the player files and the ability to run the other packages.

But in C200, everything will be installed in /share/Apps/local and still resides even after reboot. The only thing will be done at startup for C200 is rename the original empty directory /usr/local to /usr/local.org and create a link from /share/Apps/local to /usr/local so that no need to set any env to the /share/Apps/local/bin path to execute each binaries.

I know your stuff will, was mentioning how the others are handling the larger ipkg repository installs. I just realized I said I would check into it and never posted my findings.

Hi,
I'll try to restate my problem:
I cannot find i-pkg among the available apps in CSI, so:
what is the correct procedure to get it installed through CSI? or what is the procedure to manually install it on the c200?

many thanks
Giovanni

If you can't see i-pkg in CSI then it (most probably) means that your repository is not up to date. Try to delete contents of Repositrory directory (located in CSI directory) and run CSI again.

Then correct me if I'm wrong, but this could become a problem when you have to update the C-200's firmware. Usually, the upgrade procedure fails if there are 3rd-part apps running, as Syabas's own routine isn't able to performs operations on such apps.
In CSI' I always have to stop all running stuff to avoid getting stuck into some "ERR xxx" message when updating the firmware.

I have a question, i have installed all of the Apps in the I-pkg, but i can see that there are 2 updates that should be done to 2 of the Apps.

My problem is that whenever i click on the update on the web GUI, nothing happens.......

Tell me the name of those, it may be a bug with web-ui.

Right now, whatever the applications installed via ipkg will not start any daemons. In future it may be.

OK, it seems the bug with ipkg-web interface. I'll fix and release on next version.
