Hi,
I compiled some packages for one of my boards and I would like to set up a repository.
I hand written Packages file and it works but I have several ipk so it will be too long to hand write them all.
I did not found anywhere in the doc how to generate the Package file, could you please help me ?
Thank you
Had the same question and @hnyman pointed me in the right direction, so this is part of the build script I'm using for my repo:
/SDK_ipq806x_17.01/scripts/ipkg-make-index.sh . 2>/dev/null > Packages.manifest
grep -vE '^(Maintainer|LicenseFiles|Source|Require)' Packages.manifest > Packages
gzip -9nc Packages > Packages.gz
/SDK_ipq806x_17.01/staging_dir/host/bin/usign -S -m Packages -s /SDK_ipq806x_17.01/my-repo.keyNeeds to be run from the directory with *.ipk. I *think* you'll need to compile usign, the sources are in the SDK. You will then need to publish 4 Packages* files, just like here: https://github.com/stangri/openwrt-repo.
Hi stangri, thank you for your help.
I was not aware of "ipkg-make-index.sh" script, works like a charm ! :-)
