- | === Preparing /jffs for /opt === | ||
- | First step is to prepare /opt mount point for Optware and create ipkg.conf file for packages download | ||
- | ~ # mkdir /jffs/opt | ||
- | ~ # mkdir /jffs/tmp | ||
- | ~ # mkdir /jffs/tmp/ipkg | ||
- | ~ # mount -o bind /jffs/opt /opt | ||
- | ~ # mkdir /opt/etc | ||
- | ~ # vi /opt/etc/ipkg.conf | ||
- | Edit and insert the following content | ||
- | src optware http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ddwrt/cross/stable | ||
- | dest root /jffs | ||
- | Now we will point /bin/ipkg script to this config with setting environment variable | ||
- | ~ # export IPKG_CONF_DIR=/opt/etc | ||
- | This is enough to retrieve list of available packages with | ||
- | ~ # ipkg update | ||

- | Packages 100% |**********************************************| 259 KB 00:00:00 ETA | ||
- | Done. | ||
- | Updated list of available packages in //jffs/usr/lib/ipkg/lists/optware | ||
- | If nothing is reported after /bin/ipkg update then probably /etc/resolv.conf does not contain | ||
- | proper name server address like: | ||
- | search local.lan | ||
- | nameserver 192.168.1.1 | ||
- | |||
- | |||
- | Manual installing package ipkg-opt will automatically install also uclibc-opt package. | ||
- | ~ # /bin/ipkg -d root install ipkg-opt | ||

- | Done. | ||
- | Unpacking ipkg-opt...Done. | ||
- | Configuring ipkg-opt...Configuration file `/opt/etc/ipkg.conf' | ||
- | ==> File on system created by you or by a script. | ||
- | ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer. | ||
- | What would you like to do about it ? Your options are: | ||
- | Y or I : install the package maintainer's version | ||
- | N or O : keep your currently-installed version | ||
- | D : show the differences between the versions (if diff is installed) | ||
- | The default action is to keep your current version. | ||
- | *** ipkg.conf (Y/I/N/O/D) [default=N] ? y | ||
- | Done. | ||
- | |||
- | Note that we answered 'y' to install maintainer /opt/etc/ipkg.conf with the following contents: | ||
- | #Uncomment the following line for native packages feed (if any) | ||
- | #src/gz native http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ddwrt/native/stable | ||
- | src/gz optware http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ddwrt/cross/stable | ||
- | dest /opt/ / | ||
- | |||
- | If anything goes wrong when installing ipkg-opt then I recommend erasing /jffs/jffs and /jffs/usr directories | ||
- | with | ||
- | rm -rf /jffs/jffs | ||
- | rm -rf /jffs/usr | ||
- | and repeat /bin/ipkg update and /bin/ipkg install ipkg-opt | ||
- | |||
- | Installing ipkg-opt package will maintain all packages installed in /opt directory along with its /opt/lib/ipkg | ||
- | directory where /opt/bin/ipkg maintains its status files. There is also /opt/bin/ipkg-opt to save us from confusion. To update list of available packages issue | ||
- | ~ # /opt/bin/ipkg-opt update | ||
- | Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ddwrt/cross/stable/Packages.gz | ||
- | Inflating http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ddwrt/cross/stable/Packages.gz | ||
- | Updated list of available packages in /opt/lib/ipkg/lists/optware | ||
- | Successfully terminated. | ||
- | |||
- | List of available packages is provided with | ||
- | ~ # /opt/bin/ipkg-opt list | ||
- | |||
- | List of installed packages | ||
- | ~ # /opt/bin/ipkg-opt list_installed | ||
- | Successfully terminated. | ||
- | will not show ipkg-opt and uclibc-opt as status file is now located in /opt/lib/ipkg/status and not /jffs/jffs/usr/lib/ipkg/status . To correct this issue we will reinstall the package itself with | ||
- | ~ # /opt/bin/ipkg-opt install ipkg-opt | ||
- | Installing ipkg-opt (0.99.163-9) to /opt/... | ||
- | Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ddwrt/cross/stable/ipkg-opt_0.99.163-9_mipsel.ipk | ||
- | package uclibc-opt suggests installing ipkg-opt | ||
- | Installing uclibc-opt (0.9.28-12) to /opt/... | ||
- | Downloading http://ipkg.nslu2-linux.org/feeds/optware/ddwrt/cross/stable/uclibc-opt_0.9.28-12_mipsel.ipk | ||
- | Configuring ipkg-opt | ||
- | Configuring uclibc-opt | ||
- | Updating /opt/etc/ld.so.cache | ||
- | Successfully terminated. | ||
- | |||
- | With clean Optware install two packages should be listed | ||
- | ~ # /opt/bin/ipkg list_installed | ||
- | ipkg-opt - 0.99.163-9 - The Itsy Package Manager | ||
- | uclibc-opt - 0.9.28-12 - micro C library for embedded Linux systems | ||
- | Successfully terminated. | ||
- | |||
- | From now on no files outside /opt tree will be required for maintaining Optware packages. I even recommend erasing | ||
- | spurious files with | ||
- | # rm -rf /jffs/jffs /jffs/usr | ||
- | Exporting IPKG_CONF_DIR is not neeeded any more. |
