Hi,

 

i have created a little feed for easy install on my box.

 

The feed works fine and i can install packages with opkg install from the feed.

 

Sadly they do not show up in the plugin installer in the menu.

 

I looks like the installer only looks in /var/lib/opkg/openpli-mips32el file.

the files from the other feeds are in the same folder an look good.

 

How can i add the packages from my feed to the list?

Is there a config somewhere which i was missing?

Best Regards

Look in
/etc/opkg/

Hi Milo,

 

i looked there.

 

My feed conf is there and i see no option in opkg.conf to also add the custom feed to the plugin installer.

Maybe there is a config for this one or is it "just" a frontend?

 

What i see is when i pipe my packages list from /var/lib/opkg to the openpli-mips32el i see the packages in the installer.

 

When i want to install one i see that wget tries to download form download.openpli.org and not from the feed url.

 

On the console installing with opkg install it works perfectly fine.

 

Regards

Thomas

Don't have a box here, but there are several "feed" config files in /etc/opkg/

 

All you need to do is ADD an extra file there with your feed name and server URI and that's all. An "opkg update" should fetch the new sources and any new plugins will appear in the list if you named them properly.

 

If that doesn't help, post EXACTLY what you type on the terminal, what responses you got, and upload or otherwise insert any files you created. I cannot read your mind, nor can I access your box from here, so you'll have to be verbose.

Hi Milo,

 

Thanks for your help!
 

on the console it works flawlessly

 

I added my fnpanic.conf into /etc/opkg with this content:

 

src/gz fnpanic http://vm001.fnpanic.lab.net/feed

 

(this is an internal machine)

 

when i run 

 

opkg update

 

it gets the packages.gz and adds the list of packages to /var/lib/opkg/fnpanic

 

i can now search packages with

 

opkg list | grep packagename

 

and install the packages with

 

opkg install packagename

 

The problem is that the plugin installer in the enigma2 gui (i am running openpli 3.0 on a et6000) it only shows packages which are in

 

/var/lib/opkg/openpli-mips32el

 

How can i make the installer also include the /var/lib/opkg/fnpanic ?

Hope that info helps to solve the problem.

 

Regards

Thomas

You need to rename fnpanic.conf to fnpanic-feed.conf to see them in the addon gui.

Thanks! I will try that!

I let you know how it went.

That was it! Works like a charm now!

Many thanks.

 

This should maybe go to the wiki...
