Hello everybody,
in my setup opkg is used as the package manager and I use it to install
/ uninstall several software alternatives. I want this to work on
deployed devices in an offline fashion, i.e. I want to do "opkg install
<sompackage>" without internet access. <somepackage> might or might not
be installed in the actual rootfs in the original image.
I could really use some hints how this could be achieved without running
into a dead end. My current idea is to deploy the ipks somehow into the
rootfs und point opkg to the "local repository":
1. Make some kind of meta-recipe with a dependency of the do_install
task on <somepackage>'s do_write_ipk task
2. Find somehow the filenames of all ipks generated by a selection of
recipes (the ones creating <somepackage>)
3. Install them to the rootfs, generate Packages.gz
4. Point opkg to this local repository
For steps 1 and 2, I am not sure whether that is possible with a
reasonable effort and I would be very thankful for any guidance.
Regards
Sebastian
