Keep in mind that the name, name-n and name-r user/group ids are just _DEFAULTS_ and were choosen excactly because of the limited length restrictions on some platforms. You can force the use of _arbitrary_ names by using --{s,m,r,n}{usr,grp}=<name> on the openpkg-*.src.sh command line instead of --{user,group}=<name>. Nothing is hard-coded, so you can achieve your wish above with --susr=opkg-root --sgrp=opkg-root --musr=opkg --mgrp=opkg ... Ralf S.
