In Topic: IPK Creator 5.0 + IPK Feed Generator 1.0

IPK Creator 7.0
 
- Added some missing arm architectures, reported by https://forums.openp...14925-demosat1/ via PM (Please use https://github.com/OpenVisionE2/reports so I get notified faster)
- Cleanup powerpc and aarch64
- Compiled using Oracle JDK 20.x and Apache NetBeans IDE 18
 
No Windows, Linux or macOS binaries, just the jar files.
 
For IPK Feed Generator just place your ipk files beside IPKFeedGenerator.jar then run it, it will create "Packages" and "Packages.gz" for you.

el bandido

really only need to add this code of yours:

	elif [ $SEARCH = "h7" ] ; then
		dd if=/dev/mmcblk0p2 of=$WORKDIR/$KERNELNAME
		log "Kernel resides on /dev/mmcblk0p2"
+	elif [ $SEARCH = "osmio4kplus" -o $SEARCH = "osmio4k" ] ; then
+		dd if=/dev/mmcblk1p2 of=$WORKDIR/$KERNELNAME
+		log "Kernel resides on /dev/mmcblk0p2"
	elif [ $SEARCH = "sf4008" -o $SEARCH = "et11000" ] ; then

I sent you an invitation on github to have access to this repo but you missed it, check your https://github.com/notifications

 

Anyway after https://forums.openp...nfo-enigmainfo/ there will be no need for this hand fixes and PLi could use https://github.com/O.../BackupSuite-NG too.

Actually you are now getting to the real painpoint...
 
Slot 0 is a recovery slot and is also used as a backup mechanism when you insert a USB stick with a specific file on it on the USB. It contains also the directories that contain the other 'slots'. So it needs special handling and when you 'break' it you can lost all the other slots. I did not decide anything, I just mentioned the fact. So that is also why it is not recommendable to flash it online. And yes when it is an option, we are aware of it, but users will make the mistake as they do not know, lost slots or event think they brick their box (unless they can restore it with flashing via USB).
 
I recommend to put it on hold and sleep on it for a moment as I prefer a 'real' solution. Actually what VIX is trying to do, making it a real kind of recovery 'image' is the best option we have. From the first time the idea came up my feeling was I miss a recovery image, but it may take some time to get it done somehow.
 
A few line of codes can indeed arrange you can flash slot 0, but the code is full of exceptions we should try to avoid. And when the slot 0 is a real recovery thing instead of a full image with enigma2 functionality is what I think we should prefer. As longer I think about it making slot 0 a kind of normal slot for the user is for me more and more not a good approach. It always somehow 'breaks' the recovery 'mind of thing'.


Just to let you know we have cmd images for all devices on https://images.openvision.dedyn.io for more than 2 years.

No enigma2
No GUI
No python (optional)
Less than half in size
OSCam pre-installed
Network only and command line

Using master branch of OE requires weekly maintenance sometimes and not recommended.

 

But "Hardknott" is EOL and won't receive any important updates, keeping an EOL up-to-date is similar to keep master happy with all changes so it requires more maintenance, check https://wiki.yoctopr...g/wiki/Releases for using a stable and up-to-date one like "Kirkstone".

In this specific case, I'm pretty sure WanWizard has commit access to the Backupsuite-PLi repo we build from. Perhaps he can apply the patch at the source?

Yes only WanWizard had access to https://github.com/p...BackupSuite-PLi and now you all are invited.

 

Do let me know if I missed any invitation.
