Aim is to make the manifest for each rootfs a little more human readable by sorting the list of installed packages alphabetically. Currently, when ipk packaging is used, the order of packages in the manifest matches the order in /var/lib/opkg/status, which appears to be "random". It looks like RpmPkgsList().list does always sort it's results before returning, so adding a sort to OpkgPkgsList().list would make it consistent with the RPM equivalent. >> -- >> _______________________________________________ >> Openembedded-core mailing list >> [email protected] >> http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core > -- _______________________________________________ Openembedded-core mailing list [email protected] http://lists.openembedded.org/mailman/listinfo/openembedded-core
