Well, opkg doesn't tell me what URI the packages are available from, until you try to install them. As you can see above, 'opkg info ' only tells you the source of the package, not where it can be downloaded from. . I had a look at the files in /var/lib/opkg, but they are the same as 'opkg info ..' output, so no help there -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Todays rant: opkg - not giving me the right choices
Hello, Linux and Openmoko is all about choice. This is a good thing. Why isn't there a way to tell opkg that I want a to install a specific version, name or whatever of a package? Instead of the one that opkg thinks is "latest"? If I know that opkg is installing the wrong version of a (available) package, I want to be able to override what opkg thinks. Ye, even if it means that I will shoot my own foot! Example: right now there are two packages named "kernel" available: [EMAIL PROTECTED]:~# opkg info kernel Package: kernel Version: 2:2.6.24+git33+88bf43840b9df0eb0a077a1394eb564be80a412e-r2 Depends: kernel-2.6.24 Status: unknown ok not-installed Section: kernel Architecture: om-gta02 maintainer: Angstrom Developers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MD5Sum: bf0e22639aa23f82bc8346aae598c824 Size: 936 Filename: kernel_2.6.24+git33+88bf43840b9df0eb0a077a1394eb564be80a412e-r2_om-gta02.ipk Source: git://git.openmoko.org/git/kernel.git;protocol=git;branch=stable file://0001-squashfs-with-lzma.patch;patch=1 file://0002-squashfs-initrd.patch;patch=1 file://0003-squashfs-force-O2.patch;patch=1 file://0004-squashfs-Kconfig.patch;patch=1 file://0005-squashfs-Makefile.patch;patch=1 Description: Linux 2.6.x (development) kernel for FIC SmartPhones shipping w/ Openmoko Package: kernel Version: 2:2.6.24+git75940+27fc8d82e365c47065f3a9240bfe21e67a50edf2-r1.01 Depends: kernel-2.6.24 Status: unknown ok not-installed Section: kernel Architecture: neo1973 maintainer: Angstrom Developers <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> MD5Sum: d14dff18ae1e43a8f8c070282b091fdc Size: 894 Filename: kernel_2.6.24+git75940+27fc8d82e365c47065f3a9240bfe21e67a50edf2-r1.01_neo1973.opk Source: git://git.openmoko.org/git/kernel.git;protocol=git;branch=stable file://turn_off_EVBUG.patch;patch=1 Description: Linux 2.6.x (development) kernel for FIC SmartPhones shipping w/ Openmoko (This is a FreeRunner, not a 1973).
