[Apps] opkg A100/A110 - Updated 21st Sep

[vaidyasr]

IPKG is now OPKG.

Opkg is a lightweight package management system. It is written in C and resembles apt/dpkg in operation. It is intended for use on embedded Linux devices and is used in this capacity in the OpenEmbedded and OpenWrt projects.

Opkg is maintained, stable, robust and conservative in its memory usage, despite its buggy ipkg ancestry. As best it can, opkg maintains backwards compatibility with ipkg and conforms to a subset of debian's policy manual regarding control files.

Installation via CSI.
Download Link: http://a110progs.googlecode.com/files/op...8-nmt1.zip

Browse in PC: http://youra110ip:9999/local_web/
You can also browse in a110 via web services.
Or you can navigate to the folder /share/Apps/local/gayaui/ from A1XX.

You can add your own/included scripts to start/stop the required services automatically.
For example, if you would like to start the minidlna, do the below steps:
Install mini-dlna from opkg.
Edit the config file under /share/Apps/local/etc to suite your needs.
Re-start the opkg via CSI.
You can edit/add you own startup scripts under /share/Apps/local/etc/init.d with optional prefix, so that it will be loaded in ascending order.

A sample script for inadyn (dynamic DDNS client) would be:

Code:

# cat 60inadyn.sh
#!/bin/sh

start()
{
        cd /share/Apps/local
        bin/inadyn --input_file etc/inadyn.conf
}

stop()
{
        killall inadyn > /dev/null 2> /dev/null
}

case "$1" in
    start)
        start
        ;;

    stop)
        stop
        ;;

    restart)
        stop
        start
        ;;
    *)
        echo "Usage: $0 {start|stop|restart}"
        exit 1
        ;;
esac

Basic commands: (from telnet)
# opkg update - Initially you need to type to update from feed.
# opkg list - To list the available packages.
# opkg install <pkg> - To install a specific package.

The following web-gui will be available in the included version.


Package Feed URL's:

Code:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/a110ipkg/files
http://sourceforge.net/projects/a110opkgdev/files

Will be installed under /share/Apps/local and will be linked to /usr/local. All programs has been pre-compiled with RPATH, so no need to specify any LD_LIBRARY_PATH.

Can someone who is using A110 please let me know the following info in a telnet window?.

# echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
# echo $PATH

[Pytkin]

/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK # echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH

/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK # echo $PATH
/share/Apps/AppInit:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/sbin
/opt/sybhttpd/localhost.drives/HARD_DISK #

Released. Probably you need to add the /usr/local/bin and/or /share/Apps/local/bin in your PATH by editing the start_app.sh

[vaidyasr]

Is it working?. no response.. from nobody. I mean whether you can able to execute ipkg?

Strange.
I install the nmt6 version via CSI, but the appinfo.json still saya:
version="0.99.163-nmt4"

Is that file updated?


Perhaps it could be possible to have a very clean and simple CSI package and do as much updates within the ipkg, even of the feeds file for instance?

Good catch. but that says nmt5 . I have updated the same in pkg.

Oops, sorry, I just noticed this thread refers to 100-series ipkg. I'm on the 200-series, but I guess the same issue goes there!

OK thanks. That is what I want. I want to know whether the ipkg is working or not. So, it seems it is working. I'll add the packages.
