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 Sreejith
