We aim to use released IPK files from a previous release build instead of
building from source. During package processing, we skip all build tasks
for the package and copy it to the deploy directory, adjusting the feeds
accordingly. With a customized opkg configuration, we can set the feeds
either from a remote server or the deploy directory. Since we are using the
released IPK files, there is no need to filter by dependencies, as this has
already been handled during the release of the IPK.

This patch provides an additional option to use the deploy directory as an
IPK repository. By default, this option is disabled but can be enabled if
needed.

Can you please share the details of the issues encountered when building
images from deploy directories?

Cheers
