If there are some people interested in those packets, I would upload them. I am just asking, because I see a lot of people asking for a new localpack or hints for installing $application.

yes ... IPKG as opendingux default package format would be GREAT!!!

Maybe you can ask "omgmog" to create a ipkg repository here. I also prefer ipkg.

But the packages should be build from the developers. Just because you cant update all packages often as the developers do.

I create ipkgs of my ports as soon as we have an storage.

Hi,

I've uploaded some packs to my homepage. Before you start downloading and installing, I have to warn you

- These packs use absolute paths. Games will be installed to /local/games, applications to /local/applications and emulators to /local/emulators on the sd root.
- If a program/emulator needs a file as start option, the search dirs are located in /media on the sd root. For example, snes9x4d will search for games in /media/games/snes.
- The screenshot directory is located in /media/picture/screenshot.
- Other themes and dmenu are not supported, atm.
- Last but not least, it can eat your hamster.

If you want to test these packs, I recommend the following steps:
- Backup your dingux sd-card
- Delete the local folder from your sd-card
- Download the starterpack from my homepage
- Extract it to your sd-card and place the folders installer, local and media to your sd-card root
- Download some ipkg packets and save them to /installer on your sd-card
- Install them in dingux by running "Installer" in your application dir

If you dont want to install the starterpack you have to create an ipkg.conf and the installer script.
/etc/ipkg.conf:
src custom-package http://www.aufkrawallgebuerstet.de/

dest root /boot/local/
dest ram /boot/local/
dest ext /boot/local/

installer script:
#!/bin/sh
ipkg-cl -f /usr/local/etc/ipkg.conf -d root install $1

For this script you have to create a gmenu entry with selectordir enabled and save your ipkg packets to this directory.

I don't have tested many of the packs, so please report when you fiend a non working pack. This is a list of the available packs:

And don't forget to make a backup from your existing system

problem is if it does things with absolute paths/etc, it'll lock people into having very similar setups, though if it was done so you could hook the dingoo up to a pc, and hit install on the pc, it'd be much nicer, no need to put the package on, run the program, then remove the package to save the space, which takes longer than just dumping a folder and creating a shortcut

(however idiot proof you try and make something, someone is bound to ask 'how do i do it?' )

Absolute paths are also a nogo. But i think we can find a solution for this.

This is a really good idea. Just in case we cannot easily manage the packages only in dingux and i think, no one want to add a PM to gmenu2x?

I personally think that package management will over complicate things. With Gmenu2X (especially once I have made a few modifications after the OpenDingux rootfs is done) things are as easy as dragging the app folder onto the SD card. With package management, you add the complexity of having to maintain a server, client apps and a system to allow devs to upload new releases.

This is true. Sadly we have no repository for all apps and sources.

First we really need a good dingux distribution with installer, kernel, rootfs and local. All other laters.

Yeah, i'm following you on irc.
