Hi devs, Jo, Nico and I have been discussing an issue which is defining at build time packages that should be installed on, say an usb flash drive. For this we have two approaches:
1) Define a new state in menuconfig, "E" for external which will change the ipkg header and include a Destination keyword containing the destination name the usb drive will be mounted on. Additionnaly we generate the external filesystem containing the packages. This approach requires quite a lof of changes in the scripts/* files and we need to know the usb drive size in advance. 2) We add a new configuration symbol CONFIG_EXT_PACKAGES which contains the list of packages (without their dependencies) we want to install on the usb drive. The rootfs on the main flash will embedd a script which will mount and format the usb drive, then install the list of packages to this destination. That is easier to implement. Second approach requires us to fix the usb automount script which should be done anyway. Thanks for your comments. -- Best regards, Florian Fainelli Email : [email protected] http://openwrt.org -------------------------------
