go to Settings->Package Manager. You will need to add the qtopia feed, as I havent yet set it up to be the default. Qtopia can only install qpk's from a web feed. It can be local though. Qpks are a special variety of old style ipkg that have security enhancements, such as not allowing scripts to be run. opkg cannot properly install these for Qtopia to see/use, as they need to be entered into the Qtopia database. Not difficult to do, just opkg probably doesn't have sqlite write access right now. As well, the way Qtoia installs them sandboxed in our SXE configured environment (sxe is not configured on the Neo). Qtopia does not put them into the base rootfs, but in ~/packages/<md5sum of package>/ and get executed from ~/packages/bin/<md5sum of package>_<executible name> -- Lorn 'ljp' Potter Software Engineer, Systems Group, Trolltech, a Nokia company _______________________________________________ support mailing list [email protected] https://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/support
