Hi can you add to openpli.conf

PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS = "mipsel ${TUNE_PKGARCH}"

and under recipes-devtools\opkg

opkg-config-base_1.0.bbappend

PR .= "-openpli1"

this add mipsel arch to the image

[pieterg]

1. mipsel should be at the very back (lowest prio)
2. PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS affects distro-feed-configs as well, so opkg will start complaining about download failures (unless we create a mipsel feed on the server...)

Perhaps we should just drop the mipsel arch, it would only be for old binary-ipk's, perhaps a good moment to consider to get rid of those?

[babsy98]

its for many ipks and plugins in the wild how use the mipsel arch in controll file, and this ipks cannot install anymore for normal users via the gui

thanks for the implementation

[pieterg]

I'll just let the build run, and then we see what needs fixing (empty Packages.gz in mipsel feed for instance)

[babsy98]

in my build only arch.conf was changes

arch all 1
arch any 6
arch noarch 11
arch mipsel 16
arch mips32el 21
arch dm7020hd 26


i dont have empty Packages.gz files

[pieterg]

if you rebuild distro-feed-configs as well, /etc/opkg/mipsel-feed.opkg will probably be added, and opkg will complain about an invalid feed url.

[babsy98]

yes i see

or we use

PACKAGE_ARCHS = "all any noarch mipsel ${PACKAGE_EXTRA_ARCHS} ${MACHINE_ARCH}"

to overrite the bitbake.conf settings

[pieterg]

but even PACKAGE_ARCHS is used in a lot of bbclasses, so packages might still draw the wrong conclusions.

I'm not sure what the best workaround is. Perhaps just patch opkg-config-base

[babsy98]

<sup>arch all 1
arch any 6
arch noarch 11
arch mips32el 16
arch et9x00 21
arch mipsel 26

yes its works thanks</sup>
