Is this the best mailing list for asking ipkg questions?  If not, what is the 
right list?  If it is, read on:

I am interested in using ipkg, and I am not/less interested in using the full 
openembedded framework.  I have the following thoughts/questions about the 
features/capabilities of ipkg, in isolation from openembedded:

I would like the ability to run ipkg on my desktop computer and have it 
install packages to a memory card, which I would then insert in the device.

The big issue appears to be with scripts (pre-install/post-install/etc)  It 
may be useful for some packages to have scripts that would only be useful when 
run _on_ the device itself.

One way of dealing with this issue would be to have a way to distinguish 
scripts that could be run on the computer from scripts that need to be run on 
the device itself.  It seems to me that pre-install scripts would have to be 
runnable on the computer in this scenario.

Has anyone thought about or worked on any of these issues?  Does anyone have 
any ideas/suggestions for me?
