opkg, dpkg and apt are compatible, as I found out. I did play with the sources and "opkg update" works just fine. > > Are you still dealing with the ROS packages? Have you tried searching > for them through "opkg list". Yes, I did. They are only available for the eglibc kernel, which I tried but could not get working the same way as the standard 2.6.x kernel.

I've tried to cross-compile them for Arm multiple times but getting errors every time, so apparently I'm doing something wrong every time. And it still isn't clear to me what the "no valid architecture" means, since those packages are for Arm already. > > Regards, > > 2013/10/7 > <angstrom-distro-users-requ...@linuxtogo.org> > >> Send Angstrom-distro-users mailing list submissions to >> angstrom-distro-users@linuxtogo.org >> >> To subscribe or unsubscribe via the World Wide Web, visit >> >> http://lists.linuxtogo.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/angstrom-distro- users >> >> or, via email, send a message with subject or body 'help' to >> angstrom-distro-users-request-CQP9ExgZy9rrZ44/ dzw...@public.gmane.org >> >> You can reach the person managing the list at >> angstrom-distro-users-owner-CQP9ExgZy9rrZ44/ dzw...@public.gmane.org >> >> When replying, please edit your Subject line so it is more specific >> than "Re: Contents of Angstrom-distro-users digest..." >> >> >> Today's Topics: >> >> 1.
