Granted, you need to recreate the packages for AI currently too so
perhaps it's not an issue.
In fact, there is very little involved in making a deb package work with
the AI -- if your app is well designed, you basically just need to pass
--prefix=/var/lib/install/wherever_you_want_it to configure, and make
sure to replace any standard system dependencies with the 'maemo'
dependency; there are useful scripts in ApplicationCatalog to help with
this.
So far in this discussion nobody has been able to demonstrate any
genuine advantage to using ipkg over dpkg on the 770. More
significantly, the dpgk is already on the system and maintains a
database of installed applications. It really escapes me what the issue
here is, other than Nokia wanting to keep the system (under /)
completely separate from the applications installed by the AI (under
/var/lib/install) -- unless Nokia changes this policy, there is not much
to be discussed; your packages need work with the AI.
