This should be replaced with IPK_FEED_URIS which is valid for OE-Core. (There may be some changes coming in this area in 1.6, see bug 5407 - however, the docs need to be correct in the mean time.) 38248 1 bluelightning 2013-10-29 13:23:33 +0000 Clarification - this section does actually call out distro-feed-configs from meta-oe, so it's not technically incorrect, but I'm not sure we should be doing that in the manual. People shouldn't need to be adding meta-oe just to get this basic functionality. 38286 2 trevor.woerner 2013-10-30 00:54:21 +0000 I wanted to experiment with this before submitting any update for the manual and I can't seem to get it working. I updated my conf/local.conf as follows: 1) added "package-management" to EXTRA_IMAGE_FEATURES 2) added the following lines: IPK_FEED_URIS = "\ all##http://192.168.7.1/BOARD-dir/all \ armv5##http://192.168.7.1/BOARD-dir/armv5 \ " I did a build (core-image-minimal) and even checked the log file (tmp/work/qemuarm-poky-linux-gnueabi/core-image-minimal/1.0-r0/temp/log.do_rootfs) and found: Added all feed with URL http://192.168.7.1/BOARD-dir/all Added armv5 feed with URL http://192.168.7.1/BOARD-dir/armv5 But when I run the image and look in /etc/opkg I don't see any changes. From what I can understand from the bbclass it looks like this code is making updates to /etc/opkg/opkg.conf (?). I would have expected it to make changes to base-feeds.conf. Any idea what I'm doing wrong? 38325 3 trevor.woerner 2013-10-30 22:55:40 +0000 The more I play with this, the more I can't help think the following is needed. With this change the target ends up with a non-zero-sized /etc/opkg/base-feeds.conf which I can then simply do "$opkg update" and refresh the package repository. diff --git a/meta/classes/rootfs_ipk.bbclass b/meta/classes/rootfs_ipk.bbclass index b0805dc..1537af4 100644 --- a/meta/classes/rootfs_ipk.bbclass +++ b/meta/classes/rootfs_ipk.bbclass @@ -159,7 +159,7 @@ ipk_insert_feed_uris () { echo "Added $feed_name feed with URL $feed_uri" # insert new feed-sources -echo "src/gz $feed_name $feed_uri" >> ${IPKGCONF_TARGET} +echo "src/gz $feed_name $feed_uri" >> ${IMAGE_ROOTFS}/${sysconfdir}/opkg/base-feeds.conf done # Allow to use package deploy directory contents as quick devel-testing 38440 4 trevor.woerner 2013-11-02 07:27:29 +0000 (In reply to comment #0) > This should be replaced with IPK_FEED_URIS which is valid for > OE-Core. Defining IPK_FEED_URIS simply causes some modifications to be made to ${WORKDIR}/opkg.conf. Defining FEED_DEPLOYDIR_BASE_URI, however, causes files to be created on the target for opkg to use. Therefore I assume this is what you mean. 38442 5 trevor.woerner 2013-11-02 20:16:21 +0000 I have provided the a patch for consideration: https://lists.yoctoproject.org/pipermail/yocto/2013-November/019177.html 38564 6 srifenbark 2013-11-05 17:43:11 +0000 Hi, I applied Trevor's patch to the development manual. You can see the updated section at http://www.yoctoproject-org/docs/1.6/dev-manual/dev-manual.html#runtime-package-management-target-ipk. I pushed the fix to both the 1.6 and the dora (1.5.1) branches. However, the updated text is not available there yet though as I don't rebuild the 1.5.1 doc set until the end of the day. Marking the docs as "Done". thanks, Scott
