The problem is not to convert a opkg in deb, is pretty standard. The problem is to manage all the dependency. The better solution is according me to maintain a list, in the wiki, with a list of software present only as opkg, and one list of software present only as deb, and package all this software..
I think Navit must to be one of the first that need to be packaged, because, with Tango Gps, are the only software to use in efficent way our FR. _______________________________________________ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
