Add new package into customfeed instead of package directory

For Developers
1

Hi all please help with feeds I have a package with following Makefile, if I place it inside /package directory (and any subdirectories there) it appears correctly in config menu( make menuconfig). But if I am trying to separate it into custom feed (making by wiki instruction) it is not listed in menu even after update and install the custom feed( ./scripts/feeds update customfeed; ./scripts/feeds install -a -p customfeed)

not sure this is a valid entry :wink:

yes, you are right, it's mistype but it doesn't make different.

I usually copy feeds.conf.default into feeds.conf. Then make sure your feed is at start of file. Also make sure you clean your feeds or rm -f feeds before you update/install feeds.

I'll try but it doesn't clearify why when I move package directory from customfeeds directory to project package directory it's starts working, but if I move it back it stops working again....

./scripts/feeds clean
resolved the issue.

It’s really just a vagary of the update/install feeds process. Cleaning your feeds forces an update/install and re-index of the feeds. I really haven’t looked into the intricacies of the process, but for the little effort it takes if you’re using custom feeds, I always add that step as matter of course.
