Its designed for environments like uclibc-bering. For example, Written in shell, compatible with busybox ash (but since bb-ash is so slooooow, I use dash myself), having very simple dependency handlig. support for remote repositories etc etc. You would probably want to create packages from files installed on the system, using include/exclude lists, and that is missing. I am working on an apk_create tool, that probably not will be designed 100% for your needs, but its opensource, right ;) -- Natanael Copa ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
