What's wrong with good old 'ipkg-build'? Script included in your path if using the toolchain, under /usr/local/openmoko/arm/bin. Thanks for pointing this. I have copied wrong script to server. It is almost same than in toolchain. One of my point is user needs no whole toolchain to package bash/python scripts to ipk. -Aapo Rantalainen ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
