'''This project has moved.'''

Mid December, 2008, the project moved to Google code: http://code.google.com/p/opkg/
* Group: http://groups.google.com/group/opkg-devel
* mailto: opkg-devel at googlegroups.com <opkg-devel at googlegroups.com>
* Checkout Code: http://code.google.com/p/opkg/source/checkout

Prior to that date, a mailing list for discussion was available here: http://lists.openmoko.org/mailman/listinfo/opkg-devel
Source code was available in the subversion repository: http://svn.openmoko.org/trunk/src/target/opkg/. The repository could also be [http://svnweb.openmoko.org/trunk/src/target/opkg/ viewed online].

== Usage ==

opkg (Open PacKaGe Management) is a lightweight package management system based on Ipkg.

usage: opkg [options...] sub-command [arguments...]
opkg must have one sub-command argument where sub-command is one of:

=== Package Manipulation Commands ===
update Update list of available packages
upgrade Upgrade installed packages (see also --download-only)
install <pkgs> Install package(s) (see also --download-only)
configure <pkgs> Configure unpacked package(s)
remove <pkgs|regexp> Remove package(s)
flag <flag> <pkgs> Flag package(s)
<flag>=hold|noprune|user|ok|installed|unpacked (one per invocation)

=== Informational Commands===
list List available packages
list-installed List installed packages
list-upgradable List installed and upgradable packages
files <pkg> List files belonging to <pkg>
search <file|regexp> List package providing <file>
info [pkg|regexp] Display all info for <pkg>
status [pkg|regexp] Display all status for <pkg>
download <pkg> Download <pkg> to current directory
compare-versions <v1> <op> <v2>
compare versions using <= < > >= = << >>
print-architecture List installable package architectures

whatdepends [-A] [pkgname|pat]+
whatdependsrec [-A] [pkgname|pat]+
whatprovides [-A] [pkgname|pat]+
whatconflicts [-A] [pkgname|pat]+
whatreplaces [-A] [pkgname|pat]+

=== RegEx for packages and filenames ===
regexp could be something like 'pkgname*' '*file*' or similar
e.g. opkg info 'libstd*' or opkg search '*libop*' or opkg remove 'libncur*'

=== Options ===
-A Query all packages not just those installed
--cache <directory> Use a package cache
-d, --dest <dest_name> Use <dest_name> as the the root directory for
package installation, removal, upgrading.
<dest_name> should be a defined dest name from
the configuration file, (but can also be a
directory name in a pinch).
-f, --conf <conf_file> Use <conf_file> as the opkg configuration file
-o, --offline-root <dir> Use <dir> as the root directory for
offline installation of packages.
-V, --verbosity <level> Set verbosity level to <level>.
Verbosity levels:
0 errors only
1 normal messages (default)
2 informative messages
3 debug
4 debug level 2

=== Force Options===

--force-depends Install/remove despite failed dependencies
--force-downgrade Allow opkg to downgrade packages
--force-maintainer Overwrite preexisting config files
--force-overwrite Overwrite files from other package(s)
--force-reinstall Reinstall package(s)
--force-removal-of-dependent-packages
Remove package and all dependencies
--force-space Disable free space checks

=== other options ===
--autoremove Remove packages that were installed
automatically to satisfy dependencies
--download-only No action -- download only
--noaction No action -- test only
--nodeps Do not follow dependencies
-t, --tmp-dir Specify tmp-dir.

== configuration files ==

In SHR the files are located in the directory ''/etc/opkg/''
''opkg.conf'' contains the main config options

''arch.conf'' defines the priorities for different feeds/package trees/architectures

''*-feed.conf'' contain the source type, a name and the path to the packages (comparable to debian)

== Tricks ==

=== Reinstall all installed packages ===

At one point I ended up doing a complete upgrade before i had updated my opkg. As a result i borked a lot af packages. To reinstall them all, you can use this little sed magic.

opkg --force-reinstall install `opkg list_installed | sed 's/ - .*//'`

=== Upgrade after downloading all needed packages ===
To make sure that opkg upgrade does not break your system because of an unstable connection do:
opkg update
opkg --cache cachedir --download-only upgrade
opkg --cache cachedir upgrade
Add a line "option cache ''cachedir''" to /etc/opkg/opkg.conf to avoid the --cache option on command line.
