Re: www.opkg.org - Repository Alpha
Hi!
I tried to install some packages again and many of them tend to fail.
I had a look at http://www.opkg.org/packages/Packages and noticed that
some of the items there have only very little details, for example:
Filename: mokocard_0.1_all.ipk
MD5Sum: 44cc816b186448f313c32953a651026a
Filename: mofi_0.02_armv4t.ipk
MD5Sum: 20f8e6af3f3475d6874d6b17bf1cba63
Filename: efplayer_0.3_arm.ipk
MD5Sum: 9a3f29f6ae0c76cbe7f9419ac3439c70
Filename: gpssight_0.8.4_freerunner.armv4t.ipk
MD5Sum: 483e184603fb8b1703039a8407c4792f
Filename: mokoconv_0.1_all.ipk
MD5Sum: 2270c08017e157540c36f86d916c905d
Filename: liquidwar_5.6.4-2_armv4t.ipk
MD5Sum: ed8fbe67e570b391074275414b9f3c35
Filename: mbac_0.3_all.ipk
MD5Sum: 0115bc347e8a84895cb221210db70b77
Filename: numptyphysics_0.3-svn116_armv4t.opk
MD5Sum: 14a727cc8a5f69eed6a781257bbe1c00
Filename: omview_r32_armv4t.ipk
MD5Sum: 00f7abe3a833925ede784a0d036dabf7
Filename: openmiaocat_0.2_armv4t.ipk
MD5Sum: 134c2dd7ef8f781562fd66c7e541f93d
and so on. Is this normal, should the packages still install with no problem?
Some of the items have lines like
Source: ${SRC}
Source: nethack
Maintainer: $USER
Is this ok, should it still install with no problems?
I get messages like:
* Failed to download
http://www.opkg.org/packages/moko-eightball_0.20080721_om-gta02.ipk,
error 0
* Cannot find package meooem.
* Failed to download
http://www.opkg.org/packages/gpsdcontrol_0.5_all.opk, error 0
* Cannot find package neon.
* Failed to download http://www.opkg.org/packages/qwo_0.3_armv4t.ipk,
error 0
* Cannot find package shortom.
* Failed to download http://www.opkg.org/packages/ledclock_0.6_all.ipk, error 0
and some more. Any idea what's the reason? This is with 'opkg install
packagename package2name'. I can download the files ok with wget but
opkg fails for some reason and as you see, it can't find some packages
and for example meooem is missing totally from the Packages -file.
Any ideas how to fix this? Makes it a bit difficult to try to install stuff :(
Thanks!

Re: www.opkg.org - Repository Alpha
Aapo: seems to work, thanks! Tobias: how do you do the mirroring, is there a script that automatically downloads the package to opkg.org? Seems to work good, at least agps is available in the repo :) Something to think about: Doesn't GPL actually say that if you share the binary (=the packages?), you also have to share the source.. As far as I understand this would mean you should be able to provide the source code for each package, if requested. I understand that it's a pain but I think it should be taken care of somehow. I'd also like you to post news a bit more often (in the opkg.org blog/news) about the status. There's no information about the repository, for example. Also some upgrade about the possible future re-design or mobile version would be interesting. Thanks for your cool repo! I was playing with the idea of a dedicated installed app for Freerunner: you launch the app, it downloads a list of all opkg.org apps with descriptions and so on and installs it by a press of a button. In a way zomg and appmanager do this but they don't show categories and so on. Just an idea.

Re: www.opkg.org - Repository Alpha
Hi Risto Thanks for the nice words! Aapo: seems to work, thanks! Tobias: how do you do the mirroring, is there a script that automatically downloads the package to opkg.org? Seems to work good, at least agps is available in the repo :) Yes, it is a simple script that fetches all the data out of the API [1], then downloads the packages, generates all the needed data and uploads it to the server. It's executed every hour, so the repo should stay up to date. Something to think about: Doesn't GPL actually say that if you share the binary (=the packages?), you also have to share the source.. As far as I understand this would mean you should be able to provide the source code for each package, if requested. I understand that it's a pain but I think it should be taken care of somehow. Oh, that's something I didn't know. I'm not so familiar with GPL. But it's good to know. I'll have a look at this, because I don't want to get problems in the end. Thanks. I'd also like you to post news a bit more often (in the opkg.org blog/news) about the status. There's no information about the repository, for example. Also some upgrade about the possible future re-design or mobile version would be interesting. I didn't post about the repo, because it's still in developement - exactly like the mobile version and some other things. By now it seems to be usuable, but I'm sure there are some bugs left. If it's stable once, I'll write about it. Another reason I don't post every idea I have is that I'm never sure if (or when) I can realize it. You know, I hate it to read about a great news, and then nothing happens for month (or for ever). I don't want to make the same mistake, so I just wait until I'm sure that a new feautre will be published soon. Thanks for your cool repo! I was playing with the idea of a dedicated installed app for Freerunner: you launch the app, it downloads a list of all opkg.org apps with descriptions and so on and installs it by a press of a button. In a way zomg and appmanager do this but they don't show categories and so on. Just an idea. It would be great to have such an application. Somewhen I found something similar: Someone wrote a python app which is kind of a simple frontend for the API, it sounded very promising. But I don't know where it was anymore and I'm not sure if it is still being developed... Keep on doing the good work! I'll do, thanks! r Regards, Tobias [1] http://www.opkg.org/api.php ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community
Re: www.opkg.org - Repository Alpha
Hi there, First of all: Thanks to everyone who tested the repo alpha. Thanks to them I could find some problems, which I have tried to solve today: 1. From now on, every package on opkg.org, not only the packages on my server, are included in the repo. 2. Some people told me about segfaults. So I took a closer look at the Packages file on my server: http://www.opkg.org/packages/Packages I'm not sure about this, but I think it is because there is not all the needed information available. For example: Look at 'efplayer_0.3_arm.ipk' in the Packages file. There is only a filename and a md5sum available. All other information I take out of the ipk file is missing. To be honest, I don't know how to solve this problem. Is it possible that the ipk files are damaged? Maybe someone on the list, that knows more about ipk-packages and repos than me, has an idea... It would be great to get a feedback about the new repo version, thanks in advance. Regards, Tobias On Tue, Feb 3, 2009 at 01:47, Robin Paulson robin.paul...@gmail.com wrote: 2009/2/2 Risto H.

Re: www.opkg.org - Repository Alpha
When a package like openmoocow was once uploaded to opkg.org and later hosted with an external link, will the opkg repo offer that old version. This is an undesirable situation since now it offers version 0.1 while version 0.3 is out. I think the repo should download the external opk and offer that one. Risto H.

Would it be useful to rename all ipk packages on 'O'pkg.org to opk in the repo?

Re: www.opkg.org - Repository Alpha
Renaming packages to .opk wouldn't be too bad but I don't see the benefit as they all work. I agree that there's a problem with outdated packages that move away from opkg.org. Maybe the best option would be not to show these packages in the repository any more though it's bad for an user who is used to install some stuff from opkg.org (using a script, for example). User gets an error that the package isn't available (is this better than installing an old package?) so he has to go (to opkg.org) and try to find where is it now. r -- | risto h. kurppa | risto at kurppa dot fi | http://risto.kurppa.fi ___ Openmoko community mailing list community@lists.openmoko.org http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/community

Dear community I finally found some time to set up a simple repository for www.opkg.org. It was difficult for me to figure out how exactly it is built. There isn't a lot of information in the wiki and I've never done a repo before. However, I like to try new things, so I wrote some little scripts that build a new Packages(.gz) file every full hour. To be honest, I'm not really sure if I've done it correctly. This is why I ask the community to help me. The repository's address is http://www.opkg.org/packages/. Please feel free to test it and report any bugs/mistakes. I also appreciate any suggestions on how I could make the system better. (How I said, I've never done it before and actually don't have the knowledge to build a proper repo.) There are only the packages available that are stored on the opkg.orgserver. The ones that are hosted on other servers aren't included (yet). I hope it won't break any systems - just to make sure: you test it _on your own risk_.
