ipkg is pretty much dead. No one maintains or wants to use it. Long live opkg! I will mention that Trolltech created yet another package - qpk. This has a few security enhancements that some operators seemed to want, such as not running scripts and installing to a sandboxed area. Only the package manager in Qtopia currently supports it, but in general it is also an old style itsy package. -- Lorn 'ljp' Potter Software Engineer, Systems Group, Trolltech, a Nokia company _______________________________________________ devel mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
